Does anyone know a way to put field data into the subject line of an email that's being submitted?

Thanks!

set your target to the following
"mailto:xxx [at] xxx [dot] com" + "?subject=" + Field Data + "&body=To confirm the request, please click the SEND button";

Actually, my bad... I dont need the words "FIELD DATA" in the subject... I need the value of an actual field to be plugged into the subject.

In the case he's talking about, "FIELD DATA" would actually be a reference to one of the controls on your form.

The code I use goes like this...

this.resolveNode("#event").submit.target = "mailto:" + textEmail.rawValue + "?&subject=" + textSubject.rawValue;... where textEmail and textSubject are text boxes on the form.

Incidentally, this code would go in the preSubmit event of the form's submit button.
