Subject Line of Email Form

[MM]

Hello,
I have created a very simple form which allows users to submit information
by answering questions.
Once the user clicks on Submit the data is sent to an email address, all
this is working OK. I have also managed to customise it so that the Subject
of email is the Full name of the person that submitted the form. i.e.
whatever was entered in the Fullname field of the form.
The question is can i customise it further so that the subject line of the
email reads "Incident via Email" - FullName. e.g. Incident via Email - John
Smith.
Please adivse.

Regards

MM

Add a hidden field for the "prefix" text after your fullname field
<input type="text" name="fullname" size="20" value="" >
<input type="hidden" name="prefix" value="Incident via Email - ">

And another one empty one for your subject field (used in your form properties)
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="">

Then add an onsubmit script to concatenate them to the form tag
<form ....... onSubmit="this.subject.value=this.prefix.value+this.fullname.value;">

PS
- the onsubmit will only work if you are not using FP form field validation

If using FP form field validation try adding an onblur event to your Fullname field
<input type="hidden" name="prefix" value="Incident via Email - ">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="">
<input type="text" name="fullname" size="20" value=""
onBlur="this.form(0).subject.value=this.form(0).prefix.value+this.fullname.value;">


All above tags must be on one line w/o wrapping
