Sending form information using a CDO email object

[funkyspirit]

Hello,

I have an ASP page that contains a form. Once the user submits the form, the information is sent to an email address using a CDO email object and a popup message appears saying that the information has been sent.

What I would like to do is to create an onclick event on the submit button that will trigger the creation of the email and the sending of the information. Since the email generation code is in the same page as the form that would prevent the email from being sent if the form is empty.

The submit button is an image and so far I haven't been able to get it to work.

<input type="image" name="submit" src="images/submit.png" width="115" height="39"/>

if request.Form("submit")<>"" then
                
                
                Set myMail=Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
   		myMail.Subject="Contact Request"
   		myMail.From = Request.Form("email")
    		myMail.To= "xxx@xxx.com"
    		'myMail.CC="xxx@xxx.com"
    		myMail.TextBody = "Name:"& Request.Form("name")& vbcrlf & vbcrlf & _
                "Email:" & Request.Form("email") & vbcrlf & vbcrlf &  _
                 "Telephone:" & Request.Form("telephone") & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & _
                 "Length of separation:" & Request.Form("separation") & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & _
                 "Location:" & Request.Form("location") & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & _
	         "Other location:" & Request.Form("other_location") & vbcrlf & vbcrlf 
                 "Divorce Agreed:" & Request.Form("divorce_agreement") & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & _
	         "Comments:" & Request.Form("comments")
	         myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
    		 ("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")=2[/URL]
    		 'Name or IP of remote SMTP server
    		 myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
    		 ("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver")[/URL] _
    	         ="127.0.0.1"
    		 'Server port
    		  myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item _
    		  ("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport")[/URL] _
    		  =25 
    		  myMail.Configuration.Fields.Update
    		  myMail.Send
    		  set myMail=nothing
    		  %>
    		<script language="javascript"type="text/javascript">
	        alert("Thank you! Your request has been sent. One of our team members will be in touch with you shortly")
		</script>
    		<%end if%>

CDO is server side, javascript is clientside.

ASP code has completed before javascript even STARTS to run, and ASP code will not run again until an HTTP request is sent to the server.
