weknowtheworld Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 You have to write two forms one after the other. And submit the other form by javascript.

steves Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Currently the only form made is the one that inserts the information to the database, which works great. What javascript code should I be looking for to help me send an email with the submitted information at the same time?

ToonMariner Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I used one in a cms - one form 2 jobs - action one was to a script to show a preview of what page would look like and action 2 was to commit to the database.

He wants it to be able to have to actions simultaneously (that is at least how I read it).

ToonMariner Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Sorry didn't read his initial post (being lazy - unlike me ;) ) and yes yo0u are correct you don't need two actions for that - the script thatprocesses teh data can query the database for insert/update and then send out the e-mail - no need for two actions.
