Example
The following function fragment receives a reference to a text element as the
parameter. The text element reference is needed to decide which branch to follow;
then the form is submitted.
function setAction(fld) {
if (fld.value.indexOf(“@”) != -1) {
fld.form.action = “mailto:” + fld.value
} else {
fld.form.action = “cgi-bin/normal.pl”
}
fld.form.submit()
}
