Javascript help

I need you help. I am trying to create an online quiz. I have 2 files, the Quiz.htm and Quiz.js. The questions are in the Quiz.htm and when you click on the evaluate button, it generates a Result page (all text) through quiz.js. The problem is, there are only 2 buttons available on that new page, the PRINT and the CLOSE. I would like to add another button to submit the results to a certain email address. I already have cgi and formmail capability. the problem is that how will I add a button to send all the result information to a particular email address?

Here is the script for the 2 buttons:

winr.document.write("<input type='button' value='Print...' onClick='"+printest+"'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;")
winr.document.write("<input type='button' value='Close' onClick='window.close()'></form></center>")

I would like to add another button to submit all results pointing to my cgi url. please help.

onclick="document.formname.subit();" and have the submit code for the cgi in the form tag

Thank you. How do i exactly code it? here is the url for my cgi:

"http://dbscreations.netfirms.com/cgi/formmail".

I am not sure how to code it properly, maybe you can help me with this.

Thanks

Something like the following I suppose.


winr.document.write("<form name='formname' method='post' action='http://dbscreations.netfirms.com/cgi/formmail'>")

winr.document.write("<input type='button' value='Print...' onClick='"+printest+"'> ")
winr.document.write("<input type='button' value='Submit' onClick='document.formname.submit();'>")
winr.document.write("<input type='button' value='Close' onClick='window.close()'></form></center>")

Thank you very much! We are getting close. How will I code it so it will send an email to dbs576@aol.com with a subject: Assessment Test.

In HTML I can just declare the recipient and the subject but I don't know how to do it in javascript. Kindly include the recipient and the subject in the coding.

I am very sorry to bother you, I hope you can lead me through making this work.

If it's okay with you, I can settle for a Instant Message conversations.

I really appreciate what you are doing.

Thanks!

It depends on your cgi-script and what it requires to send an email. I would try the following and see if you get an email.


winr.document.write("<center><form name='formname' method='post' action='http://dbscreations.netfirms.com/cgi/formmail'>")
winr.document.write("<input type='button' value='Print...' onClick='"+printest+"'> ")
winr.document.write("<input type='button' value='Submit' onClick='document.formname.submit();'>")
winr.document.write("<input type='button' value='Close' onClick='window.close()'>")
winr.document.write("<input type='hidden' name='subject' value='Email Subject Here'>")
winr.document.write("<input type='hidden' name='recipient' value='dbs576@aol.com'>")
winr.document.write("<input type='hidden' name='redirect' value='http://www.yoursite.com'></form></center>")

Sorry it did not send me an email. It is maybe that I need a separate cgi file to process and send the data. What I am using right now is I am suing netfirms formmail handler which I think is the cause of the problem.

Do you know a cgi I can use to make this happen? Or if you can make me one. I know it's too much to ask, but I really am greatful for your suppport.

More power to you.

Dennis,

Have a look at these two files I found on google. One is the html file with the hidden field syou need to use and the other is a perl script file used to perform the email sending. Note that to use the perl file this will need to be on a box that reconises .pl files. If you can use the perl file, read the notes and add the neccessary elements so that you can receive email.

Anyhow, have a look and see what you can sort out.

Cheers....Matthew

Thanks! I'll keep you posted.

Sorry, it did not work. Would you like me to send you the files so you can check them out?

Thanks!

yeah
