Question

My quest to to understand how to get data from a text field to email has so far got me nowhere so im now trying a different approach (a workaround to be more precise). I have created a form in HTML, im using the mailto function because this is the only way I can seem to get any data of the iphone to email. My next problem is that because there are appox 300 text fields in total it makes this a very long page. Also, with the email button at the bottom of this html page it creates an annoyance for the user. In some instances only perhaps 4 of the text fields will be used meaning this will be a huge long email for four text boxes . Is there any way i can break it up in to manageable chunks, or dynamically add the text fields as much as the user needs? I realise that the ideal solution would be to do all this properly but its just out of my skills base. I have tried incorporating some controls from cocoa controls for this but couldn’t understand how to get that working in my project, hence the use of mailto as a final resort!

Answer 1

Your question isn’t very clear, but I’ll try to answer. Maybe you should pay attention on the trick like in LiveJournal(line on the bottom of the page).

.buttonClass {
 left: 50%;
 margin-left: -0.5*buttonWidth;
 postion: fixed;
 bottom: buttonHeight;
}

In that case your button will be fixed at be the bottom of the page and user could scroll as much as he wants.
