Help with Auto-Filler forms & Asp 2

[tyleri]

Hey - I can't really describe this too well, and I'm new to this ASP-thing (heh) but what I want to do is on this link:

http://www.premierrealtyinconline.com/rentals/rentals.asp

there is a "register" link next to every house, and i want that to grab the "address" field of the record and open a new smaller window which has a form that the user can enter their name & email address and email the registration form to the realtor. the hard part is grabbing the "address" field and including that in the email that the form sends.

Can anyone show me an example of working code? I really have had horrible luck on this.

Thanks,

Tyler

in the link put a querystring...

to-popup.asp?link=<%Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables(&quot;SCRIPT_NAME&quot;))%>

Then on your pop-up page you can request the querystring and add your complete url to it if you like..

Response.Write "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.premierrealtyinconline.com"[/URL] & Request.QueryString("link")

Are you wanting to create the email yourself, or use something like Outlook.
I would say best to do the email yourself

 

[tyleri]

Yup I want to do it myself...

snowboardr - I'm a little confused on where to put that. I am completely new to asp.

Do you know of a link or example that I might be able to look at? I think I understand the concept, I now just need the code formation for the entire form - I don't know how to bring in code from another page and insert it into a field in a form.

thanks, sorry i sound like an idiot

Oh I noticed you just had a email link on that popup page.. put all the data you want to put in the subject of the email in multiple querystrings.. ie

pop-up.asp?home_id=34&Address=3455+lost+lane

Then in your email link:

mailto:blabla@somewhere.com?subject=<%Response.Write(QueryString(&quot;Address&quot;) & &quot;...&quot; & &quot;And whatever else in subject...&quot; %>

Jason - I tried that code - and it gave me this error message:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: 'QueryString'
/rentals/register.asp, line 24

here is the code I used - can you help me w/ what I'm doing wrong? thanks!

<a href=&quot;mailtotran@premierrealtyinconline.com?subject=<%Response.Write(QueryString(&quot;Address&quot)%>&quot;>
PTran@PremierRealtyIncOnline.com</a>

 

[snowboardr]

oops...

Request.QueryString(&quot;Address&quot

This looks like a dynamically built site so as the page is created tag on the end of the register link
&quot;

http://www.blah.com/register.asp?subject=&quot;

& propertyaddress

then something like this named register.asp

<form method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;mailsend.asp&quot;>
<%
subject=request(&quot;subject&quot
%>
Your Email Address <input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;email&quot; size=&quot;20&quot;></p>
<p><textarea rows=&quot;20&quot; name=&quot;body&quot; cols=&quot;61&quot;></textarea></p>
<p><input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; name=&quot;B1&quot;><input type=&quot;reset&quot; value=&quot;Reset&quot; name=&quot;B2&quot;></p>
</form>

then use this called sendemail.asp to send the email

<%
Set Mail=server.CreateObject(&quot;cdonts.newmail&quot
Mail.From = request(&quot;email&quot
Mail.to = &quot;your address here&quot;
Mail.Subject = request(&quot;subject&quot
mail.body=request(&quot;body&quot
mail.send
mail.close
set mail=nothing
%>

probably as clear as mud! lol

 

[GaryC123]

the second part should be called mailsend.asp
and
&quot;

http://www.blah.com/register.asp?subject=&quot;

& propertyaddress
(no colon)

Hey Gary - I tried your method - everything works swell until I use the &quot;mailsend.asp&quot; file. here is my error message:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad'
ActiveX component can't create object
/rentals/mailsend.asp, line 8

here is my code:

<%
Set Mail=server.CreateObject(&quot;cdonts.newmail&quot
Mail.From = request(&quot;email&quot
Mail.to = &quot;tyleri@comcast.net&quot;
Mail.Subject = request(&quot;subject&quot
mail.body= request(&quot;email&quot
mail.send
mail.close
set mail=nothing
%>

What operating system ru using?

 

[tyleri]

I believe it is Windows 2000. email me at tyleri@comcast.net it might be easier.

cdnots isn't set up.. www.vzio.com

[GaryC123]

Have you got SMTP setup on teh server, if not then it wont work, if you can upload to your working server then it should work fine.
N.B. CDONTS doesnt work with XP

If you want an easy way to get this working and testing then checkout

http://www.aspemail.asp,

they have a free email component that pretty much sets itself up. The syntax is slightly different but well documented in examples.

 

[snowboardr]

Another good component is

http://www.dynu.com

it is packed with many different features... www.vzio.com
