Using Javascript to trigger sending an email
The relevant JavaScript in the code snippet provided is:
var to = "Recipient"; // Can also be a variable
So your mailto_link is doing what it's being told to: giving the variable "to" the value of "Recipient." That "Recipient" needs to be replaced with a reference to the variable you're using to store the user's inputted email address.
If at the beginning of the course the learner's typed email is stored in a variable called learnerEmail, then your code should read
var to = getVar('learnerEmail');
That has worked a treat.
Can I ask one more question?
In the body of the email, ideally I want the question on one line , then the answer selected underneath..
How would I do that?
So say the first question in the example above is : Confirm Role.. the answer uses variable 'Role_Output'
If I can get one line done , I can duplicate it for the rest!
Thanks so much!I confess I'm less sure for your implementation. The easy answer is that new lines can be created in strings of text using the \n "new line escape character." So if I had a variable foo and I assigned it the value '123\n456', it should print out as
123
456
I'm much less familiar with your encodeURIComponent function, but I expect your "var bodyContent =" assignment can fit in a new line escape between the two strings of text.
var bodyContent = getVar('Role_Question') + '\n' + getVar('Role_Output');
