Multiple Actions/Methods - JavaScript?

[jeffcravener]

I have an HTML page that has the following code:

<FORM NAME="mainform" ACTION=[URL unfurl="true"]http://midp-pager-001/telalertscripts/telalerth.exe[/URL] NAME=SMS METHOD="post" ONSUBMIT="validate();">

I want another one that sens the same information in an e-mail.

Is there a way to do this having another ACTION in the form or maybe to run them both using JavaScript?

Thanks in advance!!

Have your server-side script handle the email when it processes the other things you want done. This can't be done with client-side Javascript.

You could do it in client-side JavaScript...

On submit, create a duplicate form (with all elements as per the original form), and also a hidden iframe. Submit the new duplicate form to that iframe, with the mailto action, and after a short delay, submit the original form.

You'd need to ask in the JavaScript forum (forum216) for more advice with this, however.

Hope this helps,

I have been working on another project the last couple days and some family troubles. But I plan on taking a look at the suggestion above in more depth this weekend sometime. I will keep you posted, thanks so much!

I am def looking to do this on client side as we may not be getting a web server. So the HTML file would just be located on a network folder.
