Question

Send an input form via CFMAIL?

I've created an input form (radio buttons, text input) on our site that uses CFMAIL to send the results to the business, then updates our SQL DB. The user/client gets to the form by clicking on a survey link in an email sent to them.

Now, I've been asked to include the actual input form in the email sent to the user so that the user fills out the input form inside the HTML email instead of clicking on the survey link to get to the site.

I'm a bit confused as I haven't seen much helpful information on this topic. If the user has HTML enabled on their email client, and if I validate the data coming in, can this work? Is there anything else I should be aware of as far as Coldfusion is concerned?

    This topic has been closed for replies.

    Try it from your own email client.

    Things to be aware of.

    You can't use any cold fusion tags on the form.

    It might not work with lotus notes because that converts html to rich text.

    Ok, thanks for the info.

    I assume that javascript form validation won't work either(?)
