Form submit from an HTML email

Hallo.

I'm working on an email message sent in HTML format. As the email reach
the adressee the HTML is correctly visualizaed (I made sever tests with
Outlook 2003).

The fact is that the code contains a <formthat should be submitted to
an external ASP page. The <formtag naturally cointains a
target=_blank and a proper action.

Anyway it semms to be impossible to make the form work. The submit does
not work; it is evidently an Outlook permission matter...

I verified that sever other things such as <iframes and Javascript code
do not work at all when an HTML is visualized in Outlook.

Is there a way, in your knowledge to go round the problem ?

I thank you in advance for any help

Why are you e-mailing a form? E-mail is for e-mail. Web browsers are for
Web forms. Why not e-mail a link to a page with your form? There are
countless reasons that you should at least consider this.

The email HTML code should send (via POST) a long XML string to an ASP
page. On the ASP page this XML is passed to a flash movie via
Javascript. There is no way to simply send this string via querystring,
the text long exceeds 256 characters. So I fear I have no real
alternatives but to submit a form in the way I described.

Hello all, I want to use the POST method to submit the form and then grab the parameters in the asp file with request.form("parm"). The problem is that I am using the _search target to open the asp page. When I use _blank target there is no problem, either I use GET or POST method. But when I use _search target, only GET method works.

Hi all. I have a form, and several text and image links on it that should submit the form with different actions. I prepared a simple page with just the code that's not working. PROBLEM: The form won't submit if the link is clicked, but will submit if the SUBMIT button is clicked. I need to call a function to change the form's action according to user's input before it is submitted.

Hi everyone, I have a test page. When I press the button, it bring form.html, which is fine. When I press Enter key in the textbox, it gives me an error saying this.form.cmd is not an object. But in the button, it used the code this.form.cmd.value='dispense'. Why does it give me the error? I think in a function, it should recognize the document, form and its objects, should it?

Hi I hope someone can help me. I have a client side form validation script which works perfectly in IE but clicking "Submit" in Mozilla does nothing - the form won't submit.

Hello. I'm working on an email form on Dreamweaver and I'm looking for a PHP code to make it work.

The script includes a CAPTCHA image verification, which works fine. The problem I am having is that when the form is processed, the results...

I need to create a form that takes a number that the user enters, and duplicates a question the number of times the user entered.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
