Hi, I'm validating a form with this ASP but receiving some blank email
responses; does anyone *see anything wrong with it?:
function isFormVarExclud ed(thisForm, strToCheck)
{
var strExcludeVars = thisForm.elemen ts["$excludeva rs"].value;
var arrExcludeVars = strExcludeVars. split(",");
for (var j=0; j<arrExcludeVar s.length; j++)
{
if (arrExcludeVars[j] == strToCheck) return true;
}
return false;
}
function getFormVars(thi sForm)
{
var oFormVars = thisForm.elemen ts["$formvars"];
var strPrevVal = "";
oFormVars.value = "";
for (var x=0,objElem=nul l; objElem=thisFor m.elements.item (x); x++)
{
if (!isFormVarExcl uded(thisForm, objElem.name))
{
if (objElem.name != strPrevVal)
oFormVars.value += objElem.name * + ",";
}
strPrevVal = objElem.name;
}
oFormVars.value = oFormVars.value .substr(0,oForm Vars.value.leng th-1);
}
I may as well ask the obvious; is this script on the server or the client?
There isn't anything in your supplied code relating directly to the sending
of e-mails (nor for that matter relating explicitly to server-side code).
How are you sending them? Have you tested for existence of content in the
relevant string(s) immediately prior to sending?

This is on the server. I didn't create it but it looks like a
validator script. The emails I receive (form responses) sometimes have
only []: in the body but some come in filled out properly (contact
info, product interest, etc.). There's also a validator in the HTML
form page:
<script language="javas cript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function MM_validateForm () { //v4.0
if (document.getEl ementById){
var
i,p,q,nm,test,n um,min,max,erro rs='',args=MM_v alidateForm.arg uments;
for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) { test=args[i+2];
val=document.ge tElementById(ar gs[i]);
if (val) { nm=val.name; if ((val=val.value )!="") {
if (test.indexOf(' isEmail')!=-1) { p=val.indexOf(' @');
if (p<1 || p==(val.length-1)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain
an e-mail address.\n';
} else if (test!='R') { num = parseFloat(val) ;
if (isNaN(val)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number.\n';
if (test.indexOf(' inRange') != -1) { p=test.indexOf( ':');
min=test.substr ing(8,p); max=test.substr ing(p+1);
if (num<min || max<num) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a
number between '+min+' and '+max+'.\n';
} } } else if (test.charAt(0) == 'R') errors += '- '+nm+' is
required.\n'; }
} if (errors) alert('The following error(s) occurred:\n'+er rors);
document.MM_ret urnValue = (errors == '');
} }
//-->
</script>
Then there's this in the form tag:
<form action="../../scripts/handleInfoReque st.asp" method="post"
name="info_requ est"
onSubmit="getFo rmVars(document .info_request); MM_validateForm ('name','','R', 'phone','','R', 'email','','Ris Email','state', '','R');return
document.MM_ret urnValue">

Someone said it's a SPAM problem, but IT says there's no indication of
a SPAM problem in the headers of the blank emails.
Thanks much
