Hi,

ive got an online system which allows people to enter info into
database about an absence request they have - at the same time thi
emails the person in charge of absences.

The form is setup now but to make it easier i want to alter the "Name
and "email" fields so they require no filling in ie - a staff member
name will be chosen from a drop down list (ive done this bit fine) an
then once this is done the relevant email for this person i
automatically placed in the email field. This bit i am struggling wit
- anyone any ideas how this can be done??

Thanks!

Not possible when using the FP Form Handler to have the form data sent to an email address the is
being supplied when the form is submitted.

You could use an onchange that called a function that dependent on the
currently selected value of the dropdown inserted the correct values in
the fields.
Something like:
function mail(){
if (document.forms[0].dropdownname.value=="Tom Jones")
document.forms[0].emailfieldname.value="(E-Mail Removed)";
else if ...
And so on.

Ive come up with this:


Code
-------------------


function mail()
if firstname.value="Gary Rodgers"
then
emailfieldname.value="(E-Mail Removed)";
else if
firstname.value="Paul Worsnop"
then
emailfieldname.value="(E-Mail Removed)";
end if
end


%>


-------------------


but this makes the browsers come up with the following error message:


Code
-------------------


Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03f9'

Expected 'Then'

/AbsenceForm/Absence.asp, line 24

if firstname.value="Gary Rodgers"
---------------------------------^


-------------------

= is an assignment operator. == compares.
So it must be:
function mail()
if firstname.value=="Gary Rodgers" then
emailfieldname.value="(E-Mail Removed)";
elseif firstname.value=="Paul Worsnop" then
emailfieldname.value="(E-Mail Removed)";
