OnClick Event triggering an automatic email

[gio2888]

I have two input type buttons, one approve and the other is disapprove. When clicked on either one, it will call a function which will send an email. My question is how do I trigger the function?

<input type = &quot;button&quot; value = &quot;Approve&quot; name = &quot;Approve&quot; onClick =?>

<input type = &quot;button&quot; value = &quot;Disapprove&quot; name= &quot;Dispprove&quot; onClick = ?>

<%
function mail_to_sponsor(form_results)
set mailobj = server.CreateObject(&quot;CDONTS.newmail&quot
mailobj.From = &quot;wip@caregroup.harvard.edu&quot;
mailobj.To = request(&quot;Sponsor_Email&quot
mailobj.subject = &quot;Information Systems Project Request&quot;
mailobj.Body = &quot;Your request has been approve!&quot;
mailerResult = mailobj.send()
end function
%>

You have to send the server notification of the onclick event that is happening on the client. Either do this by sending querystring info or form info
ie:
[asppage.asp]
<%
if request.querystring(&quot;Email&quot=&quot;Approve&quot; then

function mail_to_sponsor(form_results)
set mailobj = server.CreateObject(&quot;CDONTS.newmail&quot
mailobj.From = &quot;wip@caregroup.harvard.edu&quot;
mailobj.To = request(&quot;Sponsor_Email&quot
mailobj.subject = &quot;Information Systems Project Request&quot;
mailobj.Body = &quot;Your request has been approve!&quot;
mailerResult = mailobj.send()
end function

elseif request.querystring(&quot;Email&quot=&quot;Disapprove&quot; then
...
else
...
end if
%>

<input type = &quot;button&quot; value = &quot;Approve&quot; name = &quot;Approve&quot; onClick=&quot;window.location.href='asppage.asp?Email=Approve'&quot;>

<input type = &quot;button&quot; value = &quot;Disapprove&quot; name = &quot;Disapprove&quot; onClick=&quot;window.location.href='asppage.asp?Email=Disapprove'&quot;>
