Comment: Hi, I have a very simple HTML Form that allows input of an email address and posts the email address to an ASP for further processing. When someone enters their email address, I need to add single quotes around it when it is submitted. So for example if I enter someone@somewhere.com into the form, I need the form to post 'someone@somewhere.com' (note the quote marks) to the destination ASP page. How can I do this? My form code is: --Begin Code-- <HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Unsubscribe Form</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM name="myForm" action="http://myserver/unsubscribe.asp" method="post">
Please enter your Email Address below:</P>
<TEXTAREA style="WIDTH: 500px; HEIGHT: 20px" name="EmailAddress1" rows=1 cols=43 size="20"></TEXTAREA> </P>
<INPUT type="submit" value="Submit"></P></FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML> --End Code-- Thanks,
Andrew

Reply: (edit)You should handle those kind of conversions on the receiving end (i.e. the ASP page). But , if you really want to do it on the submitting page, then create a small javascript function and set the "action" of the form to the js function:
<FORM name="myForm" action="submitForm();" method="post"> The form will replace the value of the email field then actually submit the form: function submitForm() {
field = document.myForm.EmailAddress1;
field.value = "'" + field.value + "'";
document.myForm.submit();
}
