    <p>As you can probably tell by the title, I'm not sure the best way to phrase this question but here goes.</p> <p>I currently have a basic html page (default.html) with a form, three input fields (name, email, newmessage), and a submit button. The user clicks the submit button which calls emailmessage.asp using the action attribute of the form tag.</p> <pre><code>&lt;form method="post" action="emailmessage.asp"&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align="right"&gt;Name:&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input name="name" type="text" value="Type your name here" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align="right"&gt;Email:&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input name="email" type="text" value="Type your email here" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align="right" valign="top"&gt;Comments:&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;textarea name="comments" cols="40" rows="6"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;input name="Submit1" type="submit" value="Send Email" /&gt; &lt;input name="Reset1" type="reset" value="Clear Fields" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>My emailmessage.asp code is as follows:</p> <pre><code>Dim strEmail, strComments Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message") myMail.Subject="Questions and Comments" myMail.From=Request.Form("email") myMail.To=Request.Form("noname@hotmail.com") myMail.TextBody=Request.Form("newmessage") myMail.Send set myMail=nothing </code></pre> <p>Ok, this works, however, I would like to use an external JavaScript file to perform client-side validation when the user clicks the submit button. If all is well, the Javascript file would then call the emailmessage.asp file. Finally, when the email is sent, I would like to redirect to a basic html confirmation page.</p> <p>I guess my question is not only about code but also best process or logic to carry this task out. Any recommendations for how I might do this would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks M</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
