if/then between 2 form fields

FollowThePeacemakers · Nov 24, 2001

I apologize for my newbie-ness but I need help writing an easy script. Hope this isn't too much of a faux pas.

I have two "email" textarea fields in a form. In order, the first field is named "EmailAddress" (required) and the second is "ContactEmail" (we're using both addresses for different things. both addresses are actually Response.write'ed in the sent email message).

Here's what I need: If a user enters email addresses in BOTH fields then the address in "ContactEmail" is the From address in the email that is sent to us. If the user only fills in "EmailAddress" and NOT "ContactEmail" at all, then "EmailAddress" is the From address of the email that is sent to us.

I really appreciate the help!

A two parter...

PART 1:

Damian13 - Thank you for finding it! And thank you to whomever wrote it! It's exactly what I was looking for!

But now in the function zzz(), how do I get the address field to just go ahead and submit with the rest of the form instead of the test alerts 1 or 2? ...See? I really am a newbie. (-:

PART 2:

Also, I have an onFocus function on the ContactEmail field...

function clearfield(){
if (document.Form.ContactEmail.value == "Contact Email Address Here&quot

document.Form.ContactEmail.value = "";

I would like to call the same function by an onSubmit but I also have form validation being called by the onSubmit. Is it possible to connect two separate function calls from one onSubmit? How?

The answers to my questions are probably simple but I don't know, that's why I ask. Thank you ALL for your help!

PART 2

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<CENTER><H2>Test Screen</H2></CENTER>
<CENTER>
<FORM Name="Form1" ACTION="2.html" onSubmit="return test1() && test2();">
Name<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="name" size = "20">
<br><input type="submit" >
</FORM>
</CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>

PART 1 ... I am a newbie 2
The way I would do it is just to submit the form and when it is submitted you can get the values out of your email fields and do whatever checks you want ... Unfortunately, I use PHP to do this and I dont think it is what you want
but this is how you do it incase

b-) :-| I like these faces ...

in the form that is going to be submitted you have ...

<form name="form1" method="post" action="2.html">
<input type="text" name="username">
<input type="submit">
</form>

then in 2.html you put this ( <? ?> php stuff )
<?
$username = $HTTP_POST_VARS['username'];
?>

Then you got username in the new document.

you HAVE to be able to do this with JavaScript, but I havent seen it yet, sorry.
If you use PHP I will explain more if you want.BUT then again you wouldnt be at this forum if you did
