Hi, I need to design an XML form which will accept input from the user and send the input to an email address. I have just started learning XML forms. So, can anyone please help me here? I did go over some XML tutorials. But I am not sure about how to go about proceeding with this project. I will be greatful for any assistance you can provide.
Hi Darin, I am currently using XML Forms Builder. Now, I believe I can delete the tabs, "RenderListItem" and "Show" and design the form under the "Edit" tab, since I just have to accept input from the user. I am unsure about what needs to be done next. Now, the project requirements are to save the data input and also to email the recepients. Can you please guide me as to how to go about with this?
You will need to have a Show item for the form as the users will need to be able to view the contents of the form.
Darin's idea for the email is a good one. You should create a group for all the intended recipients of the email and then configure them to receive notification on updates to the directory that you specify your XML forms to point to.
I doubt that you will find that XML forms will provide the functionality that you are seeking. The XML forms are a light weight application to be used for simple tasks (Such as displaying recent news, FAQ's etc).
I would suggest that if you are looking for more rich functionality that you should look at building a JSP.
