Send confirmation page by E-mail

SylviaD · Aug 11, 2006

We use on-line (intranet) forms for collecting various bits of information. When submitted a Confirmation Page is printed using onload="window.print() method.

We would like to be able to email this page instead of printing it. I know it can be done by using File Menu > Sned > Page by E-mail but is there a way I can automate this in a similar way to the Print method mentioned above?

We use Microsoft FontPage to create the pages but we do not have Share point Services installed at present.

Many thanks.

make your form action a mailto:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
	"[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">[/URL]

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--

function doMail() {
    var f = document.forms['f'];
    f.action += "?subject=information&body=" + f.elements['t'].value;
    f.submit();
}

//--></script>
</head>

<body>

<form name="f" action="mailto:me@you.com" method="post">
<input type="text" name="t" />
<input type="button" onclick="doMail();" value="Send" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

If you need to do some processing before sending, you might have to go to a php script as the action and send the email from there.
