Mail acts wonky . . .

RobR · December 10, 2004

When my users successfully complete a form, they are taken upon "submit" to an intermediary page that tells them the form is being submitted. A tag on the page sends them a confirmatory email with the following:

This works fine so long as the user completes the form successfully before submitting. If, however, he forgets to add a required field (which are designated as required within the field list in FMP) and are redirected back to the form, the mail will sometimes not get sent when they re-submit after successfully completing the form.

Can't understand why this should make a difference. Any thoughts?

Can you send the email with an "onload" or an InlineAction? Can you also do the Form validity checking with Javascript?

All the best.

Hi Garry --

I've tried using JavaScript validation, but it had the same result. I have also tried using an "onload" code as folows:

Which doesn't send a mail at all. Probably my fault.

This is a weird error. The meta tag method above works fine, when it works. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I think it relates to the user being redirected after a failed validation, but even then it sometimes sends a mail.
