document.email_form – What’s this?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hello!

I am taking an internship in a company and I am facing with some troubles:

I am a beginner in ASP and JavaScript, but my boss gave me a really hard task (at least to me): “To fix a software made by another guy, who doesn’t work here anymore”

The software contains the command “document.email_form.action” and another commands based on the property or method “email_form”.

I’ve already typed this command on Google, and on MSDN but I didn’t find any information.

Finally, my question is: Does someone know where I can find information about this property or method?

Thanks in advance.

@JUDFeb 01.2006 — Hi danpanex,

document refers to the whole html file that you are working in.

email_from is the name of a form contained in the document.

action is an attribute within a <form> tag that tells the browser the url of the script to goto when the form is submitted.

A typical html form would be written like this:


[code=html]
<form name="email_form" action="sendEmail.php">
Email Address :<br><input type="text" name="email_address"><br>
Subject :<br><input type="text" name="subject"><br>
Message :<br><textarea name="message" rows="5" cols="40"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
[/code]

Therefore the command document.email_form.action targets the action attribute of the form named email_form within the html document.

It can be used to change the value of the attribute from sendEmail.php to some other url.

Ex: document.email_form.action = 'path/to/your/script.php'

Hope that helps you a little bit.
