Getting Lectora to read input text boxes
April 27, 2005 12:00 AM
No....you really can't do this because it would require setting up an open email relay (Wanna watch an email system administrator go nuts? Ask him/her to setup an open email relay on the smtp server.) and/or having some client/pop based email system on the client's machine. (I am assuming that they can take this test from anywhere and not a specific fixed location.)The easiest solution is to create a CGI program in Windows server running IIS using the Collaborative Data Object (CDO) and store your Lectora app on that server. You will also need to have smtp services enabled on that server BUT it can be a closed relay, even to the point of restricting outbound email through that smtp server to email generated on the server itself. (That is how I have my Win2K server setup.) I have the code that works for Windows 2K/IIS5. The CDO asp code for Windows 2003 IIS6 is a little different and I haven't worked that all out yet. Email me if you want the IIS5/Win2K version:jeff.s.gordon@vanderbilt.edu
