Query to Web designers

[Incepto]

Hi,

I'm just creating a form with frontpage but it just doesnt seem to work. I've got the form sorted- I've looked at the help files on frontpage and Ive done everything right, but when I've uploaded to form onto a test site, and press submit, it says that the page cannot be displayed and the results are not sent to my email address.

I dont know whats gone wrong.

I hope you can help.

Rob

It seems you are creating an email form. Post your code for the form and details of how the form is processed (CGI etc).

This is the code for the form
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" onSubmit="">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" startspan S-Label-Fields="TRUE"
S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE" S-Email-Address="rsitesolutions@gmail.com" --><strong>[FrontPage Save Results Component]</strong><!--webbot
bot="SaveResults" endspan -->
<p class="t01">Business Name <input type="text" name="Businessname" size="20"></p>
<p class="t01">Contact Persons Full Name <input type="text" name="contactname" size="20"></p>
<p class="t01">Address 1 <input type="text" name="add1" size="20"></p>
<p class="t01">Address 2 <input type="text" name="add2" size="20"></p>
<p class="t01">Town <input type="text" name="town" size="20"></p>
<p class="t01">County <input type="text" name="county" size="20"></p>
<p class="t01">Postcode <input type="text" name="postcode" size="20"></p>
<p class="t01">Tel. No <input type="text" name="tel" size="20"></p>
<p class="t01">Fax. No. <input type="text" name="fax" size="20"></p>
<p class="t01">Email. <input type="text" name="email" size="20"></p>
<p class="t01">Website <input type="text" name="website" size="20"></p>
<p class="t01">Service(s) you provide <textarea rows="2" name="services" cols="20"></textarea></p>
<p class="t01">Other Details (any details which may be of use to us) <textarea rows="2" name="other" cols="20"></textarea></p>
<p class="t01">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="t01"><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
</form>

Ive basically just placed all of the fields into a form on frontpage, and set to properties of the form so that the results are sent to me in an email.

I hope someone can help.

Thanks.

unfortunately I never use frontpage so I don't know anything about the webbot. I would assume your host needs to have frontpage extensions in order for this to work however.

I think it's the Frontpage Extensions you need too. Send me your url and I'll try and see if they're installed on your server.

FrontPage is not so good with forms and it writes a lot of stupid code, something you don't need.

RSS: If you still need help email me (oliviu at 3rdesign.co.uk) ... I can write a contact form for you (but you will need a server that supports PHP and have a MySql database installed) in minutes.

Netcomm- I just quickly uploaded to a geocities site to check the layout etc, so maybe this is why it didnt work? also, do I need an email template for this type of form?

JayKay- I'm not planning on using mySQL for the business. Is there no easy way of just using some HTML code that will send the results of a form direct to my email address?

Thanks

Ahh, my apologise, I've got it sorted. Damn Frontpage! I think I'll use a designer in future!

My form send the details to your email address and store them into a database at the same time.
