Form with the following Parameters-Can this be done??? - 7/20/2007 17:12:23   
Hi All,


My client wants a form on his website that contains the following parameters.
(Please Note: This form WILL NOT contain any credit card information or other personal information.)

Name (this should be a required field)
Location (this should be a required field)
(if either one is left out, user should get message, please enter name or please enter location)

Location must be either: Chicago, Carson City, Plano or Oxford
(if a city location other than the 4 listed above is entered, user should get message, invalid entry)

They can only order 1 shirt OR 1 t-shirt, not both (if both are selected, user should get message, invalid entry)

When user hits "Submit" button, the form should be e-mailed to an e-mail address.

Client also wants a database that will store all of the Names and Locations of those who ordered to be automatically generated by the Form.

CAN THIS EVEN BE DONE??

Thank you,
DMW

Hi and Welcome to OutFront.

If all you're using is FrontPage, I'd suggest using simple dropdowns to support your strict requirement fields.

Then look at the tutorial on this site for 'daisy-chaining' forms to do both a DB insert and an email:

Thant help any?

To expand on Roger's comment, Drop-Down box properties can be validated in FrontPage to Allow Multiple Selections, yes or no. In your case, Chicago, Carson City, Plano or Oxford should be shown as the only choices, then electing FrontPage validation restricts the user to only one of those.

You see this same type of form at work on the internet frequently, usually on secure servers where it asks for your state, country address, etc.
