CDO.Message sent whenever page loads, though the form not submitte

[whyyyy]

The script below works fine if the form is filled out and submitted.

But a (blank) e-mail is sent whenever the page loads, even when the form is
not submitted. I would like to receive the e-mail only when the form is
submitted
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>
<%
Set MyMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
MyMail.TextBody=Request.Form("name") & vbCrLf & _
Request.Form("email")& vbCrLf & _
Request.Form("phone")& vbCrLf & _
Request.Form("palaver")
MyMail.From=" ra*****@yahoo.com"
MyMail.To="ar**@gmail.com"
MyMail.Cc=""
MyMail.Bcc=""
MyMail.Subject="cosas de cuero"
MyMail.Send()
Set MyMail=Nothing
%>

Part two: The script below could be part of the problem. It is in the html
body below the closing form tag </formand works when the form is submitted,
but I would prefer not to use it, but instead to have a redirect to a
confirmation page.

But if I use "response.redirect", the page with the form never opens. Only
the confirmation page opens.

So I have two questions, and am obviously a novice.

This forum has been a lifesaver in the past

There are a number of ways to check to see if the form has been posted. One
is Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD")

If Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "POST" Then
'''your code for e-mailing
End If
As for part 2, put the Response.Redirect in that IF block as well after the
code that sends the e-mail.

Hello Ray

Thanks

I'm not sure if you anserwed the first question, which is how to prevent a
bank e-mail from being sent every time the page is opened, whether or not the
form is submitted.

Thanks for the help with response.redirect, the second question

Sincerely

I'm not sure if you anserwed the first question, which is how to prevent a

bank e-mail from being sent every time the page is opened, whether or not
the
form is submitted.

Did you see the "if / end if" parts of his response? That pretty much
answered the question.

[whyyyy]

I tried to reply earlier but something went wrong. Unfortunately I don`t know
what the following terms mean, exactly, or even inexactly.
'''your code for e-mailing
''code for e-mail

But I tried various things and couldn`t get the page open at all until I put
this:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>
<%
If Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "POST" Then
Set MyMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Response.Redirect "confirmed.asp"
MyMail.TextBody=Request.Form("name") & vbCrLf & _
Request.Form("email")& vbCrLf & _
Request.Form("phone")& vbCrLf & _
Request.Form("palaver")
MyMail.From="ar**@gmail.com"
MyMail.To="ar**@gmail.com"
MyMail.Cc="al*********@yahoo.com"
MyMail.Bcc=""
MyMail.Subject="cosas de cuero"
MyMail.Send()
Set MyMail=Nothing
End If
%>

This appears to work beautifully. But, sadly, no e-mail is received when the
form id submitted.

So I need more help, please

Thanks

That's the part that starts with Set MyMail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
and ends with Set MyMail = Nothing

If Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "POST" Then
Set MyMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Response.Redirect "confirmed.asp"

Why are you doing this here? You haven't set up the message or sent it yet.
Try moving this Response.Redirect line down to after the End If.

[whyyyy]

I don`t want to check to see if the form has been posted

I want to stop a blank email from being sent whenever the page with the form
is opened. The email has nothing to do with the form.

I want e-mail to be sent when the submit button is pressed. It is sent when
the submit button is pressed, and the response redirect works fine.

The problem is if someone lands on the page an empty email is sent

Please help -- this is the general idea:

IF
submit button pressed
THEN
send email
ELSE
do nothing

The problem is if someone lands on the page an empty email is sent

When someone lands on the page, they did so because they didn't submit the
form. This is why you to check to see if the form has been posted.

While it may not be what you *want* to do, it's what you do to make it work
the way you want the result.

IF
submit button pressed

You can check if the form was posted using Ray's method.
Or, you can check if any of the *required* fields on your form is not empty.
E.g.

if Request.Form("email") <"" then
...
' send mail
' redirect
end if

If you want onclick handling on the server side, maybe it's time to move to
ASP.Net. Because it doesn't seem like ASP works the way you *want* it to.

[James Jones]

seems that you do not understand what they are trying to do. So instead of using other things such as requesting the method, we will do it all by form then......
here is what your basic code should look like............

you need to put YOUR form into the section that says "YOUR FORM CODE WILL NEED TO BE HERE"......

you will also need to add this line of code into your form:

<input type="hidden" name="action" value="send">


i really hope this helps.

CDONTS was deprecated because it sucked.

CDO.Message dont work either unless I had any idea what you guys are

about.

What does "dont work" mean?

Here is a script using CDO.Message. You just have to replace certain
elements with values appropriate for your environment:
http://www.aspfaq.com/2026

Set Mail = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer") 'create an Asp mail
component.

You have to install this component sold by www.serverobjects.com ... but I
don't really recommend it because you don't need it.

Again, what is wrong with using CDO.Message?

Do you know how to read an ASP error message? If you actually reached a line
in which you called the Send() method of a CDO.Message object, but got no
error message, then the message was sent.

For some reason, I am already assuming that you have SMTP services running,
or have correctly figured out how to send via remote SMTP server. That is
probably an error on my part. But assuming you ARE running SMTP services
locally, take a look in your inetpub\mailroot tree for messages piling up in
[pickup], [badmail], or [queue]. If your messages are there, you have gotten
CDO working, and need to learn how to configure SMTP.

But you knew that already, right? Heh.

So I wrote it dont work (not real english, but, slang for it

Aaron does not need a lesson in English. You need to learn to explain
yourself. Neither "dont work" nor "doesn't work" explicitly describes what
it DOES and what messages it REPORTS.

"whyyyy" <wh****@discussions.microsoft.comwrote in message news:C6**********************************@microsof t.com...

The script below works fine if the form is filled out and submitted.

But a (blank) e-mail is sent whenever the page loads, even when the form is
not submitted. I would like to receive the e-mail only when the form is
submitted
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>
<%
Set MyMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
MyMail.TextBody=Request.Form("name") & vbCrLf & _
Request.Form("email")& vbCrLf & _
Request.Form("phone")& vbCrLf & _
Request.Form("palaver")
MyMail.From=" ra*****@yahoo.com"
MyMail.To="ar**@gmail.com"
MyMail.Cc=""
MyMail.Bcc=""
MyMail.Subject="cosas de cuero"
MyMail.Send()
Set MyMail=Nothing
%>

Part two: The script below could be part of the problem. It is in the html
body below the closing form tag </formand works when the form is submitted,
but I would prefer not to use it, but instead to have a redirect to a
confirmation page.

But if I use "response.redirect", the page with the form never opens. Only
the confirmation page opens.

So I have two questions, and am obviously a novice.

This forum has been a lifesaver in the past
