Okay, so I figuered out how to make the form2mail work but when I receive it it is all garbled and my radio buttons dont have any value. Now, I can pick the text apart to figure out what it means but my boss will never be able to do that. How do I make it legable once the mail has been received?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Garbled how? Can you show us an example?

Also, if you show us the actual code sending the mail, it may help us out.

(100th post )

I have fiqured out how to sort it so that it is in some order but now some of the values dont display in the email. The site is at here and the source code is unlocked.

Thanks for looking

Here is a small sample of the code that I am using. It is a large form so I won't incude it all.

<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="myemail@email.com" />
<input type=hidden name="return_link_url" value="http://www.kiinsurance.com/thankyou/">
<input type=hidden name="sort" value="order:Insured Name,DBA,FEIN/SSN,Yrs with Comp,Effective Date,ZIP,W/C Class Code1,Annual Payrol1,#FT Empl1,#PT Empl1,">

<label><strong>Insured Name:<br />
<input name="Insured Name" type="text" onblur="MM_validateForm('Insured Name','','R');return document.MM_returnValue" size="50" maxlength="50" />
</strong></label>
<p><strong>
<label>DBA:<br />
<input name="DBA" type="text" onblur="MM_validateForm('DBA','','R');return document.MM_returnValue" size="50" maxlength="50" />
</label>
</strong></p>
<p><strong>
<label>FEIN/SSN:<br />

<input name="FEIN/SSN" type="text" onblur="MM_validateForm('FEIN/SSN','','RisNum');return document.MM_returnValue" size="11" maxlength="11" />
</label>
<label><br />
<br />
Any lapse in coverage?<br />
Yes:
<input name="Lapse in cov." type="radio" value="Yes" />
No:
<input name="Lapse in cov." type="radio" value="No" />
<br />
<br />
If yes how long? (in/yrs) <br />
<input name="How Long" type="text" size="6" maxlength="6" />
<br />
<br />
3 Year Company Verified Loss Data Will Be Required To<br />
Bind Coverage <br />
<br />
Current Year Insurance Carrier:<br />
<input name="Current Year Ins. Carrier" type="text" onblur="MM_validateForm(' Carrier','','R');return document.MM_returnValue" size="50" maxlength="50" />
<br />
<br />
</label>

Right now not all of the information is being sent. Only parts.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Is your form's method GET or POST?

And technically, a form NAME should have no spaces or other non a-z,0-9 characters.

Which data is not being sent? Input fields, improperly formatted NAME or VALUE data can screw it up. And what does the output in the email look like? If we can't see the problem, it's hard to diagnose.

My form method is post.

This is the name line
<form action="cgi-bin/form2mail.pl" method="post" name="Comp_quote" target="_self" id="Comp_quote">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="myemail@email.com" />

and this is how the data is sent to the email account

Below is the result of your email form.
Submitted by taskhill@hotmail.com

Insured Name:
DBA: Ed Hill
FEIN/SSN:
Yrs with Comp:
Effective Date:
ZIP: 93308
W/C Class Code1:
Annual Payrol1:
#FT Empl1:
#PT Empl1:
barges-vessels-docks-bridges: Yes
barges-vessels-docks-bridges: Yes

As you can see, I have two input names for the radio buttons which I see are not necesarry.

Thank you for your time.

Task

It may be that you have 2 because you have 2 different named radios:

<input name="barges-vessels-docks-bridges" type="radio" value="Yes" />Yes 
<input name="barges, vessels, docks, bridges" type="radio" value="No" />No

Try naming them both "barges-vessels-docks-bridges"

Okay,

Through trial and error I have found the line that is causing me headaches. It is the line:
<input type=hidden name="sort" value="order:Insured Name,DBA,FEIN/SSN,Yrs with Comp,Effective Date,ZIP,W/C Class Code1,Annual Payrol1,#FT Empl1,#PT Empl1,">

For some reason it does not like this line and when I delete it all of my information is sent. Except, it is sent out of order. Does anyone know an alterior line of coding or is there something that I have done wrong. Of course, the acutual line is much larger than this one and this one has been cut down to accomidate space. If you want to see actual line it is http://www.kiinsurance.com/comp_quote.html

Once again thanks.

Oh and by the way thanks funkdaddu for pointing out my errors on the radio names. I will fix that next.

Here is the correct link

Maybe get rid of that last comma after "#PT Empl1"? Maybe the script is expecting one more variable after it.

I looked at the original script and it does not have a coma after the last value so thats not it. I will keep plugging away since this is how we learn.
