Interactive Email form

[RC]

Good day all,

My first post to the newsgroup. I hope all is well with everyone and look
forward to active participation in this group. :)

I am trying to figure out how to best implement an interactive email form
for my users. I currently am using CDONTS to send 'automatic' emails that
the user can not alter. An example is if the user requests a purchase
order; currently, the user clicks the "request PO" button and the mail gets
sent.
What I would like to happen is that the user presses the button and is taken
to a 'mail form' with some predetermined text (based on where the user came
from) and a box to enter some further data before the mail is sent. This
mail page/form would be accessed via many pages/areas aproximately 20 each
containing a differnt 'predetermined' text string (about 250chars).
So my question is: should I have the generic mail asp page contain all
possible 'predetermined' text blocks stored as variables, then the buttons
throughout the website sending a variable to the mail.asp page to signify
what is to be the 'predetermined' text. This way, the mail.asp page could
display to the user what the 'predetermined' text is to be, and allow for
the user to add to it via a separate text box.

Does this sound efficient? I appreciate the insight.

Thanks,
RC

Well... you could put the predefined text's in
an include file. That way your code doesn't get
to messy, or you could store the text's in a database
and pull them out with the id you get from the pages...

There isn't a real super solution for this...

use hidden FORM fields for the predetermined values, or hardcode them in the
SEND page.
