Form - how do you add something to a field?

[Jane Here]

My FP2003 form asks the user to fill in her "Country".
I would like the form to email me with the subject: "Request for
info"+Country.

This is what I have now:
<input type="hidden" name="Section" value="Request for info">

This is what I am thinking of doing:
<input type="hidden" name="Section" value="Request for info" + COUNTRY>

Is there a syntax available that will do this?


Alternatively, can I store additional text in the COUNTRY field that will
appear in the email that the
form sends to me?

Any suggestions?

You need to put it after the field named COUNTRY and change it to
<input type="hidden" name="Subject" value="Request for info " + this.form.COUNTRY.value>

Then in your form properties select the Subject Field and enter the field named Subject as the subject field

AFAIK, that will not work.

Assuming Country is a selection dropdown you'd need something like this.

<select onchange="if (this.selectedIndex > 0) { this.form.Subject.value = 'Request for info ' +
this.form.options[this.selectedIndex].value; " >

Can I get some more help with this? I usually do everything in FrontPage
Design, so I am struggling a little with the code. But I am eager to
learn<g>.

I created a form in FP2003. Then I modified Country to contain a list of
country names.
So here is the code (that works):

<td>
<select size="1" name="Country">
<Option Value="USA">United States</Option>
<Option Value="CAN">Canada</Option>
</select></td>

I also have a hidden field for the form:
<input type="hidden" name="Section" value="Request for info">

This is all standard FP2003 code. I haven't added anything else. So far so
good. Now I want to add in your code. So I changed "Country" to:

<td>
<select size="1" name="Country" onchange="if (this.selectedIndex > 0) {
this.form.Subject.value
='Request for info ' +this.form.options[this.selectedIndex].value; " >
<Option Value="USA">United States</Option>
<Option Value="CAN">Canada</Option>
</select></td>

That did not work.

I then changed: this.form.options in the above to this.form.Country but that
did not help.

Can you tell me what is missing?

Good catch - Thanks
