Description

We need a quote form similar to http://www.driveclassictoyota.com/Price_Request.html

the results need to be formatted in XML/ADF 1.0 (auto-lead data format)

We use a IIS Go Daddy hosted server. There are some sites that will help format the results like: http://microsoft.apress.com/asptodayarchive/72166/generating-xml-based-auto-request-quotes-from-the-internet

Seems simple but I dont have the time to learn ASP and learn XML. these leads need to be formated to XML becuase it is the industry standard for CRM's in the auto business.

Thanks in advance.

I should be clearer on what exactly needs to be done.

1. Customer arrives at get a quote form fills out the appropriate information.
2. submitted to an asp script which sends minimally 2 different emails: 1 formatted in XML/ADF 1.0 and 1 formated in plain text.

Here is what the adf email that will be going to the CRM should be like:

- <adf>
– <prospect>
<requestdate>6/28/2000 7:17:22 PM</requestdate>

<url>www.acmeautostore.com</url>

The plain text version is just a non encoded result of the form that would be sent to a few people at the dealership.

This article seems to really be helpful - but beyond my ability:

Also, if you look at our current inventory page at www.driveclassictoyota.com and view source an inventory detail page you will see how they do it:

<div id="nav_panel" class="nav_panel">
<div class="link_panel_header" id="quick_quote_link" onmouseover="this.style.cursor='pointer'; this.style.textDecoration='underline';" onmouseout="this.style.textDecoration='none';" onclick="show_div('quick_quote_panel');" style="display:none;">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<td class="panel_icon_td"><img src= "http://backwebs.homenetinc.com/common/detail/images/div_forms_panel/TK_quote.gif" style="padding-right:10px;" /></td>
<td class="link_panel_header_text" id="me">Quick Quote</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

Also wanted to post that this could be done in ASP or ASP.NET becuase godaddy supports both. Thanks,
