thebeam Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I've changed an information on the form. <td colspan="2">How did you learn about CosmeticVacations? </td> </tr> <tr> <td><input name="CVreference" type="radio" value="Web Search">Web Search</td> <td><input name="CVreference" type="radio" value="E!-Channel">E!-Channel (TV-Show) </td> </tr> <tr> <td><input name="CVreference" type="radio" value="Press Release"> Press Release </td> <td><input name="CVreference" type="radio" value="Referral"> Referral </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"><input name="CVreference" type="radio" id="Other"> NBC Today Show </td> <td valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"><input name="CVreference" type="radio" id="Other"> Other: </td> <td valign="top"> <input name="CVreference" type="text" id="Other"></td>So... this is the part that i've add three new links. The NBC Todays Show Radio Button, The OTher Radio and the Other text box.But how can i made it work? it doenst send to the email. if i check this 3 new option, it goes like ON. the source is like id=OTHER because the other id already exists... $FTGCVreference = $_POST['CVreference'];this is where i have to add the new IDS... but where i can find this?? im not the creator of this website, and im learning about. so if u could help. thanks.

justsomeguy Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 You need to add a "value" to each of the radio buttons. This entire list needs to be reformatted. All the radio buttons need the same "name" attribute, but each one needs a different "value" attribute. Like this: <input type="radio" name="CVreference" value="something">Something<br><input type="radio" name="CVreference" value="another">Another<br><input type="radio" name="CVreference" value="other">Other<br> Notice that they all have the same "name", and that the "value" is different for each. Then in the PHP page, when you get the value of the radio button from $_POST, it will equal the value of whatever they chose.The way you have it set up now, none of the radio buttons have a name at all, and some have a value and some have an id.Edit: I'm retarded, they do all have a name. But they each need a value, delete the ids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebeam Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 I got it. thanks a lot.about the text box.if ppl use the Other radio, so they have to tell what other was...there is someway to make the cursor go directly to the box, when the other is cheked? and the text box already have to be value? or the id ?

justsomeguy Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 You can do that with a little javascript. <input type="radio" name="CVreference" value="other" onclick="jump_to_element('reason')">Other<br><textarea id="reason" rows="3" cols="40"></textarea><script type="text/javascript">function jump_to_element(elId){ document.getElementById(elId).focus();}</script> Notice here that the textarea has an id ("reason"), which is used by the javascript function getElementById. That function gets the name "reason" from the "onclick" in the radio button. Let me know if that's confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 If you uploaded it, it should have changed. Try uploading again, and look at the size of the source and destination to make sure they are identical, maybe it went to the wrong place last time.Also try emptying your browser cache, IE is notorious for insisting on using the cache and refusing to get an updated page. I don't have much experience with Firefox, but Opera seems good about getting a new copy if I'm insistent enough.Also, I didn't know you wanted a 1-line text field. You can replace the text area with this if you only need 1 line: <input type="text" name="textarea" size="40" id="reason"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 No problem.I'm not sure what you mean about uploading, I think you're using Dreamweaver to connect and transfer for you though. If you want to use a different FTP client, it will probably be more reliable. I can recommend CoreFTP or FileZilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben3001 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 also when you upload your files sometimes you have to force the refresh by actually pressing F5 and not the refresh button at the top. i useually have that problem and it works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
