I have a website with a webpage for each product and then one request more
information email page.
The problem is that when users fill in the form and mail it to me there is
no why for me to see what product they want information on.
Is there any why to maybe transfer the productid or product picture to the
email page when the user clicks on the "request more information" link and
goes to the email page?
 
Consider using a mail link in each page and add the subject matter relating
to that product in the hyperlink box

Kind regards

Alternatively,

On your email page you can add a picture or text indicating a particular
product, then right click on the picture or text, select hyperlink and use
the mailto tab. In the subject header type in the product name or ID number.
This will place the product id or name in the subject header in the email
your customer sends you.

Kindest regards
Martin
 
Thanks again but this would also be a problem with too many items to put on
the email page. I thought it simpler to just let the visitor click on "more
info" and then get the email page with product id and/or picture already
there but I don't know how to do this.
Kind Regards
 
Have you considered using a shopping cart application?

You have to research this, as you need one that closely fits your requirements and is written in a
scripting language supported by your web host.

Thanks I'll check into it. Is there no why of just assining the product code
to a variable when "more info" is clicked and then just have the email page
display it, that would make the whole process so much simpler.
 
On the individual rug/carpet page (for instance
http://www.persianrugs.co.za/07090.asp)
change this link from

<a href="moreinfo.asp"> Request more information</a>
to
<a href="moreinfo.asp&id=07090"> Request more information</a>

then in the page that recieves the form results

add a hidden form field inside the <form></form> tags.

<input name="frm_id" type="hidden" value=<%=request.querystring("id")%>>
or a text field
<input name="frm_id" type="text" value=<%=request.querystring("id")%> readonly>


There are 2 links on each product page, so you'd either have to change both links
or delete one to be sure of getting the id.

The individual product pages are the only ones that have any knowlege of the
product id.

Actually the link should read as

<a href="moreinfo.asp?id=07090"> Request more information</a>
