Basically i would like people's opinions as to whether i built these things
in the "right" way or not. tia!

>jump menu

*created a selection list and told it to pass a variable (the url of the
selected item) called "url" to a method called "jump" which consists of the
following:

<dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(url)">

its a little slow but it works :-)

>referral product (as in http://www.recommend-it.com/)

i pass the variables on the first page (where people enter name, email, and
up to 5 of their friends email addresses) to a method called success

here's the problem i think: since i am enabling people to email up to 5
friends, i've got 5 copies of the same email message in the success method
inside the sendmail tags. the last 4 are in if statements.

i know there must be a better way but i really have no idea. any help?

(btw if anybody wants to use these things just email me and ill send you the
terribly simple yet useful code. :-)

tia!
