i need a way to insert the contents of a textbox into an email when the user clicks the submit button. right now, i have a hidden section that emails certain fields when the users clicks the submit button, but the field contents show up as images in the emails. this leads to strange rendering on some mobile devices when the user tries to respond to the email.
UI instructions preferred, but I can try my hand at development if that's what we need to do. any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
You should be able to do this via workflow in SharePoint designer. Just add a workflow step that emails users and then retrieve the data from the form submission by clicking the add lookup to body button in the bottom left corner. There are a number of ways you could get this set-up. If you clarify your question, I will clarify my answer but hopefully this will be good enough to point you in the right direction.

I have an interesting task that I'm not sure if possible. I've built an extensive web application via asp.net. Here is the task I want to attempt...
User receives an email from the system. Inside of the email is their submitted ticket information along with a hyperlink. That hyperlink will currently take them to the search page of my web application. What I'd like to do is have the hyperlink take them straight to their ticket without them having to search for it. So click link, takes them to search page, they click a radio button to search for ticket number and then submit. I'd rather they didn't have to do that but have it take them straight to their ticket. Is there a way to do this? I've searched for several days and can't seem to find what I'm looking for or maybe I'm seeing it but just don't understand it.
I am creating a project involving web scraping and web automation. I would like to first submit this form (http://rgsntl.rgs.cuhk.edu.hk/rws_prd_applx2/Public/tt_dsp_timetable.aspx) then once you submit this form, I want to scrape the HTML page that comes up. The problem is I am not sure how to submit this form through a Go program.
I was previously experimenting with Selenium to emulate a web browser but now I think there may be an easier way. I think that I should be able to make a POST request to the same address that the "submit" button of this form makes to and directly use the HTML page that is returned. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to get the address that the submit button makes a POST request to. I would like to ask if there is a way to monitor the address that the button makes a POST request to when it is clicked? Also if you see any flaws with my idea please do let me know. Thank you.
Right click mouse and select inspect option. After that select the Network tab.
When you fill all the entries and click submit button many urls flashes. Select the top url and under the headers tab you will see the request url for POST method.

I am trying to create a page where the user can go in and edit a text on a button directly on the site. In this example the user should be able to edit the company's core values as shown at the bottom of my attached photo. Would really appreciate your help.
it's a quite complicated process.
You can put the text of the buttons into input fields with JavaScript/JQuery and when the user save the changes save them into a database (I would prefer MySQL).
The text of the buttons should be loaded from the database.
Is their a case for using input buttons as page links, when your linking to the next of a series of pages of a form where your filling out information?
UPDATE - Ive inherited a site. One section is a series of pages of forms that users fill in. The 'next' link to the next page is currently an input button, not a normal link.
Is this bad from a standards / semantics point of view?
I am not sure what you exactly want. But what about, you can use the button to navigate through the pages. Just put the url address of the next page.
<form action="page_number_2.htm">
But you will need to store formulat data from every page. I mean, if the user fill the formular on one page and go to the next formular, you don't want to lose the data from the filled formular. You can stored them with php until the user will reach the final formular step, where he will klick submit-button.
Actually the link is used for navigation through the pages. But in this case, if I understand right, you need to send data from formular, if the user go to the next formular. So in this case, better to use button. Still you can make this button look like link.
It is possible to make links appear as buttons. However, in the situation you describe, it would be a bad idea. The form data will only be submitted to your server if you use a form. Allowing the user to click a link to go to the next page will cause you to lose all of the data they entered (Unless you are collecting that data via AJAX).
It is usually best to allow page element to perform the functions they were designed for to avoid confusing your users. Users expects links to work like links, and buttons to work like buttons.
I have an ASP.NET page with two sections on it... one for registration, one for login... each having a submit button.
When i'm in the login part of the page, i want the first 'submit' button to engage when 'Enter' is depressed. When in the registration part, i want the 2nd 'submit' button to engage when 'Enter is depressed.
Problem: I need the page to be accessible (i.e. i'm not allowed to use javascript)
Anyone got any ideas? :) :(
If the two submits are in different forms (and it sounds as if they should be in this instance) there is no issue. Any sane browser will take the submit button from the form you are in.
Wrap your controls in panels, then set the default button property of the panel to the desired button.

They're in the same form... :(
Well, can you not change that? Unless they share fields, they shouldn't have to be in the same form. ‘login’ and ‘register’ sound like two different functions to me.
There is no pure-HTML way to specify a default submit button, much less different default buttons in different circumstances.
Including JavaScript does not in itself make your page inaccessible. As long as it still works with JavaScript off you're fine.
This should happen automatically, as long as the two forms are actually separate forms. In other words, there should be two separate <form> elements, one for login and one for registration.
Edit:
Browsers determine which submit button to "press" based on the form that has focus. If there are multiple submit buttons in a single form, which sounds like the case here, the browser will submit using the first submit button that it finds. I know of no way to get around that behavior.
You're really asking how to perform one of two actions with a single form, which kind of breaks the form model: a form is designed to perform an action (GET or POST) on a single URL. I can think of one way to work around this behavior, but it is not particularly clean.
Suggestion:
I made a crude drawing of what I'm talking about. You basically add two radio buttons to the top of the form, one for login and one for registration. Underneath those you have two fieldsets, one with fields for login and one with fields for registration. The form has a single submit button.

Users without Javascript will check the appropriate radio button and fill in the appropriate set of fields. Users with Javascript have a better experience. If the login radio button is checked, hide the registration fieldset. If the registration radio button is checked, hide the login fieldset.
With proper styling, you can make it look nice. Your logic would have to check the radio button field's value to determine what action to take, but that shouldn't be too hard.
That's all I can come up with, given the single form limitation. This might not be a viable solution at all, depending on your other constraints, but it's all I've got. Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions about what I've discussed!
