I have a form that I am using to generate an email with several user
selected fields being part of it. As part of this form, I have a select
box which allows the user to select which email addresses it should be
sent to. The box works great except that the CGI script I'm sending the
values to can only parse a single line for each field in the form. The
issue comes into play when someone selects more than one value in the
select box, the output of the select box seems to separate each value
on a separate line using a line feed (or carriage return, I can't
tell). The format that the CGI script needs is for a single line with
each of these values separated by a comma. I'm confident that a
javascript can do this fairly easily, but unfortunately, I am not very
well versed in javascript. I've found a few code snippets on the web
that I've mangled together, but since I don't really know what I'm
doing, it isn't working out so good. I've included what I have in the
form right now below (note that I've removed all of the other form data
but the select box code to save space). If anybody could point out what
I'm doing wrong, I would be most greatful!
<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- Start
function replaceChars(entry) {
out = "\n"; // replace this
add = ","; // with this
temp = "" + entry; // temporary holder
while (temp.indexOf(out)>-1) {
pos= temp.indexOf(out);
temp = "" + (temp.substring(0, pos) + add +
temp.substring((pos + out.length), temp.length));
}
document.form.list.value = temp;
--End
</script>
<body>
<form name="form" method="post" action="/cgi-bin/soupermail.cgi"
onsubmit="replaceChars(document.form.list.value);r eturn
document.form.list.value">
<select name="list" size="6" multiple id="select">
<option value="us***@hotmail.com">User 1</option>
