I am looking to have the "account number " pulled from the info provided by the user and insert it into the subject.

Example: mailto:abc@hotmail.ca?subject=Credit Card reversal request Act # - Number here

Does anyone know how i can do this or can maybe direct me to some documentation that might help?

CODE

<head>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function change(id){
   if (id == "rev") {
         document.getElementById("rev").style.display = "block";
         document.getElementById("tra").style.display = "none";
      }
   else {
         document.getElementById("tra").style.display = "block";
         document.getElementById("rev").style.display = "none";
      }
}

function checkForm(frm){
if(frm.id=="Frev"){
var msg="";
if(!frm.rep.value){msg += "- Rep Number is required\n";}
if(!frm.pay.value){msg += "- Payment amount is required\n";}
if(!frm.first.value){msg += "- First 4 digits of credit card is required\n";}
if(!frm.last.value){msg += "- Last 4 digits of credit card is required\n";}
if(!frm.full.value){msg += "- Full account number is required\n";}
if(!frm.reason.value){msg += "- Reason for refund is required\n";}
if(msg !=""){
alert(msg);
return false;
                }
}
if(frm.id=="Ftra"){
var msg="";
if(!frm.rep.value){msg += "- Rep Number is required\n";}
if(!frm.pay.value){msg += "- Payment amount is required\n";}
if(!frm.ccn.value){msg += "- Credit Card number is required\n";}
if(!frm.full.value){msg += "- Full account number is required\n";}

Forms that use action="mailto:..." are unreliable on the WWW.

Please see the FAQ entry How do I get form data emailed to me? The server-side (e.g., CGI, PHP) program that processes your form data can control the subject line of any email it sends.

Can it be done this way? This is for an internal site that will not have access outside of our network. They powers that be do not want me to use a CGI program, so I am stuck with this current method.

Perhaps it could be done unreliably with JavaScript. But that's Client-Side Programming, not Markup.
