Form confirmation showing only filled field information?

I'm trying to find a way to have a form's email confirmation only show data
from fields that have been filled in by the website visitor. Is there a way
to do this without using an ASP email handler? No time to learn programming
ASP or PHP. Is there a program out there that will generate the code to do
this? THANKS in advance for any advice you can provide.
 
The standard form will return all fields whether filled in or not. This feature can not be changed
in the standard FP form.

Thanks for the reply Steve. I'm aware that FP doesn't have this capability
(but should). There must be a solution short of writing the code for an ASP
page for use by an external mail handler like ASPMail.

As long as you use the FP Form Handler, you can not do what you want.

To be clear, I know that the FP Form Handler will not work for this issue.
I'm hoping that someone can suggest an alternative handler that does not
require programming.
 
You have to use a server-side scripting language such as ASP, PHP, CFM, ASP.net, CGI-Perl to process
and they all require coding to meet your specific needs.

Yes, Frontpage automatically give you a "thank you" page showing the information
sent. Or do you want a "confirm details before sending" type thing - in that
case no, you need ASP or script to suit your server setup.
 
If you want a ready-made script, there are thousands of resources on the web.

I use this site frequently www.hotscripts.com - which has free and pay-for
scripts for php, javascript, asp, asp .Net, and perl/cgi plus tutorials,
resources and so on for learning all the above as well.
The ones you want are the "form handler" scripts - most would use a "thank you"
page but I don't know if they show the fields filled in etc....Some can send the
user an email of what they sent you....there might be something there that suits
you.

And you were asking about applications or something that generate code for you -
there are some of those out there as well, not necessarily on the above site, but
try a google search --- "form", "form handler" are the sort of keywords to use.
