I half-wrote some code for a javascript survey that I have to send out for my 8th grade term paper and I can't seem to get it to work. Whenever I try and test send it Outlook gives me a weird error sayiing that it can't send the results to gangsuvey@hotmail.com+ADRESS, (gangsurvey@hotmail.com was the adress I set up to collect info on) so If any of you JS gurus out their see some obvious error with the code I would appreciate it if you could tell me. Thanks.

Hehe - doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your code (apart from one minor typo in <input type-hidden name="question4"> where the '-' should be a '=')

Must be something to do with the setup of your mail client

A working version would really help here to figure out what's wrong.

How come you are using 'return true' in the survey function and also why did you do 'return survey()' in the onsubmit attribute?
Stinx is correct though, you should change the - to an = sign.

- can't decide? have another drink.

I changed the - to a =, but (I kinda took a crash course in JavaScipt when I wrote this) from what I read, then the return true should make it only submit if all the questions were filled out, and if they weren't then it would bring up an error message. The mail problem was it not submitting any data when it would send the return result e-mail through a web-based e-mail such as hotmail or juno.
