How to make a fillable field part of email subject

Internally in a LiveCycle form, the email submit action is a "mailto" URL, where the subject, as well as CC, BCC, and the message body are all query parameters on the URL. You can use the MouseDown event on the submit button to change these parameter at runtime.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I tried it but the subject line comes as "null". Also, I would like to add standard text in the subject as well like "(TextField1) order has been received", how would I do that? Sorry but I am really new to all this...

hanks again,

Thats actually good, it means it's working. The reason the value is null is either because the form field it's getting data from is empty, or the URL is not encoded properly

Adding more text to the subject is just adding more text.

subNd.target = "mailto:wj [at] wj [dot] com?subject="+TextField3.rawValue + " order has been recieved";But since this is an URL it has to be URL Encoded (which could also have been the problem)
So do it like this:

var cMyURL = "mailto:wj [at] wj [dot] com?subject="+TextField3.rawValue + " order has been recieved";
subNd.target = encodeURI(cMyURL);

Now it has the file name as the subject line, the same as in the original submit button I had. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Try this, Use a "console.println()" to display the URL. Then look in the console window and see what's reported.

Here's a recap of the code, Make sure it is in the MouseDown action for the Email Submit Button

Hi Thom, I had a prior issue with the form that I just resolved and your first option did work now. Thanks!!!

Ok, how about marking this one as answered?
