email to joomla user

Hi,
I've been searching the forum and the faqs but haven't found anything yet...

I have a form posted in a joomla article and need the form sent to the author of the page where the form lies.

I'd like to use the "dynamic to" to email the author.
I can get the author's email address into a variable, but I don't know how to insert that into the "dynamic to" field.

Thanx for your help.

Mark

Hi Mark,

Add a hidden input to your form, set the value to the Author email; then put the name of the input in the Dynamic To Email box.

Thanx Bob!
should have tried that before bugging you...I'll give it a go

Hey Bob,
I'm trying to do this again on a different site and can't get it to work

I have a variable called $email
Pulled up in a hidden input field:

<input type="text" name="email2" value="<?php echo $email; ?>">

And email2 in the "dynamic to" area of the email config
Along with an email setup to my regular inbox

When I "unhide" the hidden input box, the following is what I see as the box's value:

 <script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'> 
<!-- var prefix = 'mailto:'; 
var suffix = ''; 
var attribs = ''; 
var path = 'hr' + 'ef' + '='; 
var addy77087 = 'marklandry' + '@'; 
addy77087 = addy77087 + 'tantomedia' + '.' + 'com'; 
document.write( '<a ' + path + '\'' + prefix + addy77087 + suffix + '\'' + attribs + '>' ); 
document.write( addy77087 ); 
document.write( '<\/a>' ); //--> </script>
<script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'> 
<!-- document.write( '<span style=\'display: none;\'>' ); 
//--> </script>This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. 
You need JavaScript enabled to view it 
<script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'> 
<!-- document.write( '</' ); document.write( 'span>' ); //--> </script>

Completely stumped once again

Thanx for your help man
