Form: select an email address to send message to

[Steve d]

Hi Again

I might be thinking too far out of the box but...

I'm putting together a website for a small faculty. On the contact us form, I would like to have a pulldown list from which the user can select a member of the faculty who will recieve the completed form.

So the value of the selected member needs to tie up with an email address option.

ANY IDEAS???

Cheers

Steve

Ditch Javascript.

Use server-side scripting instead... protects the email addresses of your departments. Check out YACF at:
http://www.ibasics.biz/yacf.zip

It lets you associate a seperate email address with each subject
chosen, and it's server side (PHP) so automates and protects against
spam attacks.

If you find server side scripting is too painful to do, you can use simple encription or just a add a string to the EMail address and remove it when used (ie. adding 'spam_' so it becomes 'spam_name@website.com').
