Emailing Form results

When setting up to email Form results, you can either set up the subject line
to be either a form field name or a standard line.

Is there anyway to have both? In other words, I want my subject line to say
"printed material order" and have the date needed by from that field on the
form?

I tried using the field name with text followed by both ' and an " and
neither worked.

Thanks
 
You are limited to the options available when using the FP Form Handler.

You would have to hand code the server scripting for it.

<% EmailSubject='printed material order - needed by ' &
request.form("drop-dead-date") %>

or something like that (assuming the date field had that name, and that the
form is submitting to this page, and that you are building the eventual
email subject line in a variable called EmailSubject).
 
Use javascript
Create a hidden form field named say: subText
- has your fixed text string in it
<input type="hidden" name="subText" value="printed material order ">
And another one named say: subject
- that is the one you reference in your form properties
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="">

If your form field w/ the date is a textfield named say: theDate
- add an onchange event to it to concatentate the hidden filed w/ the date field
<input type="text" name="theDate" value="" onChange="this.subject.value=this.subText.value+this.theDate.value";>
