Coldfusion with mailto tag 1

[arilvade]

This code below opens the users default e-mail and inserts database data into the body - the problem is it also inserts a line of code with it:
?Body=Please+scan+the+following+document:
Anyway to get rid of the above code?
Thanks!



FORM ACTION="mailto:dav@nav.com?subject=Document Scan Request&body=">
<br> <br>

<TR>
<TD align=center>
<TEXTAREA COLS="50" ROWS="8" NAME="Body">
Please scan the following document:
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="query" STARTROW=1 MAXROWS=1>

Could you put the instructions outside the form, like this? You might also want to put the subject in as a hidden field.

<FORM ACTION="mailto:dav@nav.com">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Document Scan Request">
<br> <br>

<TR>
<TD align=center>Please scan the following document:<br>
<TEXTAREA COLS="50" ROWS="8" NAME="body">
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="query" STARTROW=1 MAXROWS=1>
Task ID: #trim(ti_id)#
Class: #trim(ti_type)#-#trim(ti_class)#
Type: #trim(ti_task)#
Number: #trim(ti_num)#
Rev: #trim(ti_rev)# &nbsp;&nbsp;Increment: #trim(ti_incr)#
Title: #trim(ti_brief)#
</CFOUTPUT>
</TEXTAREA>
</TD>
</TR>

<TD align=center><input type=submit value="Submit"></TD>

</FORM>
</DIV>
</body>

It does work; but is there anyway to get rid of the plus signs? (see below)

Thanks!

Not really, not the way you're doing it. The problem is that you're submitting a form with the "GET" method and it substitutes spaces with plus signs. The best way to do something like this is to do it with these steps.

1. Let the user input their information in a form.
2. Process the form data on the server.
3. Use the server to send the email using <cfmail>.

The example at

http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/CFML_Reference/Tags-pt2.htm

shows you how to do it. You can display your database information and ask them to okay it, and then have the <cfmail> tag send the email.

Post back if it doesn't make sense. Good luck!
