[thelist] ASP and form question

[Michael K. Ahn]

Hey,

Make sure the FORM field's method is POST and not GET and also that the
names are typed exactly the way you are trying to retrieve them in your
script.

Also, you may want to change your ASP code to something like this:
objMail.Body  = "Sent by: " & Request.Form("fullname") & vbCrlf & vbCrlf
& _
	"address: " & Request.Form("address") & vbCrlf & vbCrlf & _
	"city: " & Request.Form("city") & vbCrlf & vbCrlf & _
	"state: " & Request.Form("state") & vbCrlf & vbCrlf & _
etc. etc.

This will make your code more readable and not constantly call the
objMail object to update it multiple times.  IMHO, that is.

Michael

Hi Lon, Joel, Mahu, and everyone who is trying to help me!!!

Well! Progress. I combined Lon's suggested strBody suggestions with
Joel's script (after looking back over Madhu's script)(<8 and changed
all the objMail.Body references to strBody followed by objMail.Body =
strBody.

I am now getting no compilation errors and the email message I'm getting
looks like this:
Sent by:

address:

city:

state:

zip:

homephone:

workphone:

fax:

email:

BestSellers:

SpecialtyGifts:

SeasonalSelections:

CorporateGifts:

PartyFavors:

OtherItems:

Comments:

Progress!!!! The only problem is, it's still not picking up the
information I typed into these fields as a test.

Here's the script so far. Maybe I should take out the <input type=hidden
fields> in my form. Could that be interfering?

<%
Dim objMail
set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objMail.From = "webmaster at 24caratdesign.com"
objMail.Subject = "Web Site Form Request"
objMail.To = "The Chocolate Factory<sfmalo at 24caratdesign.com>"
objMail.BCC = "cheftrain at yahoo.com"

strBody  = "Sent by: " & Request.Form("fullname")     & vbCrlf & vbCrlf
strBody  = strBody  & "address: " & Request.Form("address")     & vbCrlf
& vbCrlf
strBody  = strBody  & "city: " & Request.Form("city")     & vbCrlf &
vbCrlf
strBody  = strBody  & "state: " & Request.Form("state")     & vbCrlf
& vbCrlf
strBody  = strBody  & "zip: " & Request.Form("zip")     & vbCrlf &
vbCrlf
strBody  = strBody  & "homephone: " & Request.Form("homephone")     &
vbCrlf & vbCrlf
strBody  = strBody  & "workphone: " & Request.Form("workphone")     &
vbCrlf & vbCrlf
strBody  = strBody  & "fax: " & Request.Form("fax")     & vbCrlf &
vbCrlf
strBody  = strBody  & "email: " & Request.Form("email")     & vbCrlf &
vbCrlf
strBody  = strBody  & "BestSellers: " & Request.Form("BestSellers")
& vbCrlf & vbCrlf
strBody  = strBody  & "SpecialtyGifts: " &
Request.Form("SpecialtyGifts")     & vbCrlf & vbCrlf
strBody  = strBody  & "SeasonalSelections: " &
Request.Form("SeasonalSelections")     & vbCrlf & vbCrlf
strBody  = strBody  & "CorporateGifts: " &
Request.Form("CorporateGifts")     & vbCrlf & vbCrlf
strBody  = strBody  & "PartyFavors: " & Request.Form("PartyFavors")
& vbCrlf & vbCrlf
strBody  = strBody  & "OtherItems: " & Request.Form("OtherItems")     &
vbCrlf & vbCrlf
strBody  = strBody  & "Comments: " & Request.Form("Comments")

objMail.Body = strBody
objMail.Send
set objMail = nothing
Response.Redirect("http://www.chefsteve.com/chocfoundry/html/confirm.htm
l")
%>
