JAVASCRIPT :: Multi-Submit - Multiple Form Submissions
This JavaScript was created to work with a server-side CGI that was able to send only one e-mail at a time. The script worked with several pages set up in frames and would submit one or multiple mails to the CGI depending on which "send to" boxes were checked on the form. The form itself was actually made up of many smaller forms (i.e. formA, formB, etc. seen in the code) on one page, which appeared to be a single form.
The excerpt from one of the scripts of the multiple-script set below shows a few of the main functions, including the function doing the primary action: submitMail(). The other functions demonstrate some parts of the script that worked with other parts to check a cookie that indicated whether the submissions were finished or not.
