Posting an HTML form to specified emails addresses depending on a selection

[jamesthecat]

I'm building a web page which has a contact form. The client requires the form to be emailed to a particular person depending on the nature of the query which the user will select from a drop down menu.
Can someone point me in the right direction please? A colleague mentioned something about switches...

Many thanks.

function pingEmailsAllOverThePlace(){
var querySubject=document.myForm1.mySelectBox[document.myForm1.mySelectBox.selectedIndex].value

switch (querySubject){
case 'sales':
document.myForm2.action="mailto:someone@somewhere.com";
break;
case 'support':
document.myForm2.action="mailto:someone.else@somewhere.com";
break;
default:
document.myForm2.action="mailto:webmaster@somewhere.com";
break;
}
}


=======================================

Note that this method requires that the subject is in its own form. You could redo it pretty easy to run all in the same form.

Thanks for this I'll give it a try.

Hi SpudHead

Thanks for your code. It certainly pointed me in the right direction.
My colleague varied it slightly and came up with this:

function set_recipient() {
var querySubject=document.email.advice[document.email.advice.selectedIndex].value;
document.email.subject.text = querySubject;
window.alert(document.email.recipient.value);
switch(querySubject){
case "clmmc" : document.email.recipient.value = "someone@somwhere.com" ; break;
case "gw" : document.email.recipient.value = "someone2@somwhere.com" ; break;
case "mm" : document.email.recipient.value = "someone@somwhere.com3" ; break;
case "fmew" : document.email.recipient.value = "someone4@somwhere.com" ; break;
default: document.email.recipient.value = "someone@somwhere.com"; break;
}

Cool - although I preferred my function name ;)
