I have a simple form. with 2 textboxs a checkbox and a submit button.

textbox #1 is for a message
textbox#2 is for your email address
checkbox # is to send a copy to yourself
submit button sends a copy to joeblow [at] xyzcorp [dot] com

Does anyone know how to get this form to send a copy of the completed PDF to both yourself and joeblow if the checkbox is checked and the user clicks on the submit button.

Thanks,

Mark

Use the JavaScript either the "doc.submitForm()" or "doc.mailForm()" fucntion to submit the form. Email addresses are a semi-colon separated list.

var cAdr = "<span class="spamspan"><span class="u">joeblow</span> [at] <span class="d">xyzcorp [dot] com</span></span>";var cMessage = this.getField("textbox1").value;if(this.getField("checkbox").isBoxChecked(0)){cAdr += ";" + this.getField("textbox2").value;}this.mailForm({cTo:cAdr,cSubject:"Submit",cMsg:cMessage});

Here's an article on using the "submitForm()" function,
