Re: Form query

Mike,

It all depends on the CGI script that does the mailing.  It seems to me =
that you must already pass the email destination to the script using a =
form.  Why not use the radio buttons, like you suggested, to pass that =
information to the script?  Something like:

<form method=3D"post" action=3D"mailscript.pl">
   <INPUT TYPE=3D"radio" NAME=3D"mailto" VALUE=3D"deptA(at)company.com">Depart=
ment A<BR>
   <INPUT TYPE=3D"radio" NAME=3D"mailto" VALUE=3D"deptB(at)company.com">Depart=
ment B<BR>
   <INPUT TYPE=3D"radio" NAME=3D"mailto" VALUE=3D"deptC(at)company.com">Depart=
ment C<BR>
</form>

How do you currently specify the email destination?

Hi 'listers,

Have a request from a client that I would appreciate some advice on.

At present the form page on the site has the results of the form=20
emailed to a single address using a form to mail CGI script provided=20
by the hosting service. The client has asked me to provide a choice=20
of four destinations (mailboxes) that the form results may be sent to=20
by the user. The user should be able to select the destination for=20
their enquiry using 'radio buttons' on the form i.e send to=20
Department A, Department B, Department C or Department D.

Is this possible? Or do I need to use multiple forms to achieve this =
result?
