javascript thread: emailing forms


Message #1 by "raj chahal" <raj_chahal25@h...> on Thu, 16 Aug 2001 12:07:03
I do this all the time.

The ASP page that contains the CDO commands  can be a simple one that
displays something like:

"Your info has been sent by email"

with a button to return the user to an appropriate page.

Or, simply have a page that does not display at all, and send the user back
to the same page as above.

A page showing a message that the email has been sent is more courteous
though.
