ok, i have a question, there is a fair bit of code in this post.. i dont expect someone to trail through all of it and give me the complete solution.. i would appreciate however if someone could show me a single example.. and i think i can do the rest..

basically, i have a html template.. with tables..

and i want that template to be sent to me.. with the details filled in from my website form..

i have the html code template.. and i have the code that emails the details..

the email at the moment simply sends the details like so..

Date: this
To: this
From: this

etc

i want the values to be put in the template and have that template emailed to me..

below is the asp send mail code. and below that is the html template..

once again. any help on how to get the syntax correct is all i need..

the send mail code
Code:

While I am not familiar with SMTPsvg.Mailer, with cdo, you can only have one format of an email in a single email. Your vbcrlf is used with text email, but your table will have to be in an html email. Therefore, you need to make the email format html and change your vbcrlf to <BR>. You will have to build all of the html cade for your table into the string that you are sending as the body...

strEmailText = strEmailText & "Day: " & Request.Form("day") & <BR> (and so on)

mytable = mytable & "<table border=""0"" width=""560"" id=""table1"" cellspacing=""0"" cellpadding=""0"">"<tr><td>" & Request.Form("day") & "</TD></TR>" (and so on)

Mail.BodyText = strEmailText & mytable

ok the reason that i used that email was because my host gave me this specific example to use..

How to use ASP Mail Component?


ASP Mail is an Active Server Component designed to send email from an Active Server Page. This component is installed on our servers.

Below is a sample Asp script that use Asp Mail component to send the feedback form information back to your desired email address.

You can edit the following script to your requirements.

Script : forminfo.asp
Code: 
<% @LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head> 
<body> 
 

<% 

Set Mail = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer")      'create an Asp mail component.
Mail.FromName   = "1&1 Test"
Mail.FromAddress= Request.Form("email")
Mail.RemoteHost = "mrvnet.kundenserver.de"          ' The mail server you have to use with Asp Mail
Mail.AddRecipient "Your Name", "support@1and1.co.uk"
Mail.Subject    = "Website - Info Request"
Mail.BodyText   = Request.Form("Info")
if Mail.SendMail then
  Response.Write "Your mail has already been sent..."
else
  Response.Write "Mail send failure. Error was " & Mail.Response
end if 
Set Mail = Nothing
%> 


</body>

</html>
Click to expand...

now i tried altering this code as you said to make the email format html.. so i used the w3c example here..


Code: 
<%
Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
myMail.Subject="Sending email with CDO"
myMail.From="mymail@mydomain.com"
myMail.To="someone@somedomain.com"
myMail.HTMLBody = "<h1>This is a message.</h1>" 
myMail.Send
set myMail=nothing
%>

but throughout, it was tellin me that.. things such as FromName, and RemoteHost were not compatible with that email type.. so im kind of stuck.. i dont know a solution that keeps both parties happy.

If I wanted to email an HTML page that contains values submitted on a form, I would start by considering the Replace function.

Something like this:[tt]
strTemplate = "<html> ....[red]template stuff goes here[/red] .... </html>"

IF Request.Form("PickupTime") <> "" THEN
strTemp = Request.Form("PickupTime")
ELSE
strTemp = "Not specified"
END IF

Replace(strTemplate, "put the pickup time here for example", strTemp)

[/tt]

I try to do things the simple way, and would set up a page like:
Page 1
%>
<p>Subject:
&nbsp;<input type="text" name="Subject" size="73"></p>
Messsage:
<p><textarea rows="15" name="eMailMessage" cols="78"></textarea><br>
<%
You might want to add other input fields like "Where" and "When"

When the user submits the form:

PAGE 2
Data from the first page is retrieved using Request.Form("")
You may wish to concatenate some of the fields into a string.

Static data is generated through coding or from a table.

The message is then sent to you using:

Set oMSG = createobject("CDO.Message")
oMSG.To = veMailAddress
oMSG.From = vSender
oMSG.Subject = vSubject
oMSG.TextBody = veMailMessage
oMSG.Send()
set oMSG=nothing

I'm sorry I think I confused things.

I was assuming that you wanted to send HTML as the body of the email.
