I have the following email script that I created and it gives me a syntax error on this line

&quot;<td width=&quot;&quot;51%&quot;&quot;><input name=&quot;&quot;email&quot;&quot; type=&quot;&quot;text&quot;&quot; id=&quot;&quot;email&quot;&quot; readonly=&quot;&quot;true&quot;&quot; value=&quot;&quot;&quot; & theemail & &quot;&quot;&quot; size=90 maxlength=100></td>&quot; & _

I don't see what the problem is. Can someone see something I am missing?? Here is my completed code.

Dim ssn as String
ssn = fidssn.text
Dim thename as String
thename = name.text
Dim theemail as String
theemail = emailaddress.text
Dim thefund as string
thefund = fund.SelectedItem.Value
Dim thebroker as String
thebroker = brokerage.text
Dim theinfo as String
theinfo = requestinfo.SelectedItem.Value
Dim otherinfo as String
otherinfo = other.text

Dim objMailMessage As MailMessage
Dim strHTMLBody As String

strHTMLBody = &quot;<html>&quot; & _
&quot;<head>&quot; & _

&quot;<table width=&quot;&quot;45%&quot;&quot; border=&quot;&quot;3&quot;&quot; cellpadding=&quot;&quot;0&quot;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;&quot;0&quot;&quot; class=&quot;&quot;forms&quot;&quot; bordercolor=&quot;&quot;#000066&quot;&quot;>&quot; & _

Hey if I may suggest something you should use a stringbuilder. It is a lot faster and more effecient with concatinating strings. Just a tweek.

Check out link9's FAQ.

I have a question on Email. If you use the above method for sending emails. How would you send the results of a Checkboxlist???

Not sure I understand. Everything you want to send must be in string format. Just get think about what you want the message to look like and format the string into that mental image.

I think I may completely off what you want if you can explain more I can help. That'l do donkey, that'l do

Okay say I have the following code.

<asp:checkboxlist ID=&quot;testing&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot;>
<asp:listitem Text=&quot;Beer&quot; Value=&quot;Beer&quot;/>
<asp:listitem Text=&quot;Cigars&quot; Value=&quot;Cigars&quot; />
<asp:listitem Text=&quot;football&quot; Value=&quot;football&quot; />
</asp:checkboxlist>

if your using the earlier method where you taking what the user entered into a form and emailing that information. How would I display this checkbox list in that email with the items selected checked???

in the HTML that you are building and sending through email I would select the item selected

<asp:checkboxlist ID=&quot;testing&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot;>
<asp:listitem Text=&quot;Beer&quot; Value=&quot;Beer&quot; Checked=true/>
<asp:listitem Text=&quot;Cigars&quot; Value=&quot;Cigars&quot; />
<asp:listitem Text=&quot;football&quot; Value=&quot;football&quot; />
</asp:checkboxlist>

to determine wich one was selected by the user you should build an if statement around it.
