emailing forms excluding empty fields

**henough** · 07-11-2002, 05:59 AM

Hi all,

Am having a problem with a product order form I am trying to create, the trouble is that it contains a seperate quantity field for each product. When the user selects the product they want and enters amount the results are then emailed. However, all the blank input fields are being mailed as well.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get around this?
I cant use JavaScript, JSP, CGI scripts etc......
it has to be HTML!

Please help................

Hiya.

If you are limited to using only 'mailto:' as your action then the answer is no. When using this style of form the control and processing is placed with the users email client, so you have no control over it.

You say you cannot use any other technologies, is this because your host does not support them, or because you do not know how to use them?

You would be surprised how easy it is to use a pre-made script to send email, perl, asp, php, they all take seconds to install and come with very good instructions.

let me know what your host supports and I will let you know some links.
