Using this service (http://www.formmail.com) on a form and Ive run into a bit of a problem that after extensive google searching has not given me an answer. I want to add who gets an email if a check box has been checked. Ive tried a few JS and PHP solutions and nothing seems to work. The main problem seems to be how the service does the email proccessing by needing <input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="X"> in the form to determine who to email.

Including the checkbox code although its nothing special 

<form method="POST" action="http://fp1.formmail.com/cgi-bin/fm192"> 
<input name="Checkbox1" type="checkbox" id="Checkbox1" value="Yes"/> 
<input type="submit" name="formSubmit" value="Submit"/>
<input type="hidden" name="_pid" value="XXXX">
<input type="hidden" name="_fid" value="XXXX">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="1">
</form>

edit

It send to email 1 now. I want it to also send to email 2 if the checkbox is checked.

Answer. Found out the answer. Stupid thing wont let me self answer however. 

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">

function oncheckboxclick() {
    var c = document.getElementById("checkbox1");
    var d = document.getElementById("email");
    if (c.checked) {
        c.checked == true;
        d.setAttribute("value", "2");
    }
}

</script>

<input name="Box 1" type="checkbox" id="checkbox1" value="Yes" onclick="oncheckboxclick();"/>

<input type="hidden" name="recipient" id="email">

Thanks to whoever put up an answer than retracted it. Gave me enough breadcrumbs to go on.

Without knowing what they're doing on their end to process the forms, I'd suggest doing this in PHP or some other programming language. PHP:Mailer is really well documented and adding something like

if ($checkbox == 'YES") { add new recipient here}

else { proceed as normal}
