Multiple Forms - Submit?

[ZOR]

I have got 1 form working, it emails the results back.

1. How do I have 1 submit button to send all form data back
2. How do I omit empty form data being sent back.

The form has muliple lines for each item being checkmarked to say include. eg. Description - You want? - How Many.

If the user clicks nothing in the "you want" checkbox, then I don't want that form line data to be included. Hope thats not confusing. Thanks

Everyone must be doing the weekend chores?.
I have now given up on multiple forms, and now have 1 with bookmarks. The data is to be emailed. Can someone advise me how:
1. I get any non user entered text back, ie hard coded titles.
2. If one of the items in a table has a zero quantity selected, can I omit that in any way with the send to email process. In other words I only want items that have a quantity selected >0.

Many thanks

HI ZOR,

Without going to some sort of scripting such as ASP, the FrontPage form handler is very limited.

What you might try is going into Form Properties >> Email Results tab and then uncheck "Include field names".

If all of your field input would be self explanatory, then this is a viable option. Unfortunately, even the fields with input will only show the input not the field name.

It is possible you might use a JavaScript to handle some of this. I am only guessing of course. Honestly it wouldn't effect how the FP form handler reports the info.

One way to eliminate empty fields is to validate each of them. From the sounds of things though, this might not be helpful to you.

Hope I have been of some help,

Thanks Michael,

It seems every single product Microsoft makes is left half way. I have never used any of their applications where things logical exist, or will let you go from one end to the next. Unfortunately my site does not handle ASP (not that I know a thing about ASP) It allows Perl and PHP, and I have searched for days/hours to find a way to do a simple task.

Thanks for suggesting using field names, unfortunately I was already. Even that was poor, as I could not use spaces in name to be similar to the item description being emailed.

I have left a posting on the Java Forum (I'm blind on that as well), will see if anything of a miracle comes back.

Makes me wonder where technology really is going.

Thanks for your help.

Create your form (form1.html). Put your first email address in that form. Set the confirmation page to go to form2.html.


Save form1 as form2.html. Put your 2nd email address in that form.

Create your confirmation form.

Have form2 or last form send the form results to the confirmation form and your 2nd or last email address.

The above instruction is how you send a form to two different e-mail addresses. It appears as one form but is really two. I am not quite sure what you are trying to do but you could try the same concept of daisy chaining the forms together. Yes FrontPage is limited on what it can do. Without ASP or PHP or some other Web programming language you are limited on what you can do.

Many thanks. At the moment I have a log-in section at the top of a page in a frame. On completion it then moves down the page to the start of the real page. I want to have 2 forms where the first is a log-in, and when complated opens up the second. The second form has verticle scroll bars. I did have my log-in at the top of the page, it then linked down to the lower part of the form (start position). Actually, whilst writing, is it possible to turn on/off the scroll bars in code? That would solve my problem and prevent scrolling down the page if a false log in was done?
