problem with ASP form
Hi everyone,
I don't have a lot of experience with ASP and I was hoping someone could help me. I want to use our ASP form along with some javascript code to create a form where our patrons can select which department they will send the form to (we are trying to consolidate forms). This is what I have so far, but when I test the form, I keep getting this error message:
Mailing Failed... Error is:
FromAddress Property cannot be blank.
You can view/test the live form here:
http://myweb.twu.edu/~bklug/ask_test.htm
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Code:
<head>
<script>
function formProcess(form1)
{
/* More than 1 elm with name, so a collection is returned */
var elms = form.elements.recipientmail, selected;
for(var k=-1, elm; elm=elms[++k];){
if(elm.checked)
selected = elm;
}
/* If selected remains undefined (ie no selection made) */
if(!selected){
alert("Please select department");
return false;
}
/* Else set action; allow submit */
form.action = "mailto:"+selected.value;
return true;
}
// bklug@mail.twu.edu
</script> <script>
// JavaScript Document

function checkrequired(which) {
var pass=true;
for (i=0;i<which.length;i++) {
var tempobj=which.elements[i];
if (tempobj.name.substring(0,8)=="required") {
if (((tempobj.type=="text"||tempobj.type=="textarea")&&
tempobj.value=='')||(tempobj.type.toString().charAt(0)=="s"&&
tempobj.selectedIndex==0)) {
pass=false;
break;
}
}
}
if (!pass) {
shortFieldName=tempobj.name.substring(8,30).toUpperCase();
alert("The "+shortFieldName+" field is a required field.");
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}</script>
</head>
