Setting up email addresses in a text field.

[Former Community Member]

Hi.



Can anyone help me.



I am using Adobe Designer 7.0 and would like to know if there is a way of linking a email address in a text field box to a submit email button.

As far as I can tell you can only put one email address in the object field and thats it.

What i am trying to do is let people select a email address from a drop down list and then click the submit email button and it would use the address from the drop down list.



Thanks

I set up a form with a hidden "Email submit button" with a default email address.



I placed another visible button on the page and put in the "click" event the following javascript:



> EmailSubmitButton1.resolveNode("#event").submit.target = "mailto:abx@zyd.com";



> EmailSubmitButton1.execEvent("click");



change the "mailto:abx@zyd.com" to whatever you want, as long as it has "mailto:" in front of it, or else it defaults to a HTTP submit.



For example, if you want to set the email address to a value from a drop down list:



> var emailAddress = "mailto:" + DropDownList1.rawValue;



When the user clicks on the visible button, it's sets the email address on the hidden email button and causes a click event on the button - bingo - email sent to a custom email address.
