Hi,
I'm open to suggestions on the following project I'm trying to complete. I will post what I have currently done but I think that I'm limited in what I can do with the code as a form can only have 1 action.
Problem - I have a short questionnaire that requires 5 questions to be answered. Question 1 is a text field. Questions 2-4 are radio button/single choice and question 5 is a free text box.
Based on the inputs of questions 2,3 and 4 I want it to choose the most appropriate team for the player (of which there are 3 choices).
I also require it to send me an email containing their answers aswell as the best team for them (which the script is obviously deciding).
How I've approached it - I have found a javascript which redirects to the appropriate team page but will not allow me to send an email. I don't think there is a way for the values to be carried across either as the action of the form is javascript:finish()?
Could anybody assist me with the logic of resolving this problem? Would I be better off storing teams in a database and scrapping the whole javascript? If I did that what sort of code would I be looking to write?
Many thanks for your help in advance
