: So don't go to another page, post back to the same page. Construct
: the body as you wish, and use variables for the form field values.
: Post back to the same form, and fill the values back into the form
: from the posted values at the same time as you fill in the body of the

: using a hidden field, and if so, do the CDO bits.
To add to what Jeff wrote...
I wrap my HTML in server-side VBScript as one string. Then when I post back
to the same page, the string will be filled in with my input variables and
that is the HTML content I send out with CDOSYS.
I only send the output via mail if the form has been posted. An easy way to
check is to add a name value pair to your submit button.
sub prt(str)
Response.Write str & vbCrLf
end sub
prt "<html>"
prt "<body>"
prt "<form action="""" method=""post"" />"
prt "<input type=""text"" name=""iname"" value="""" /><br />"
' additional form input elements
prt "<input type="submit" name="submit value="Submit" />"
prt "</form>"
prt "</body>"
prt "</html>"
Then put everything in this conditional to see if you post to the screen or
send via mail.
dim s, strName, valid
strName = Server.HTMLEncode(Replace(Request.Form("iname"),"'","''"))
s = Server.HTMLEncode(Replace(Request.Form("submit"),"'","''"))
if s <> "" then
' validate input
if valid then
' mail it
prt "Thank you"
prt "<span style=""cursor: pointer; border: 1px solid black;
background-color: #efe"" onclick=""location.href='/'"">Continue</span>"
Response.End
else
' Post error
' Fall through to display form on screen
end if
end if
None of this is tested for errors/typos.
