I need to confirm if my ISP has FPSE (FrontPage Server Extenstions)
installed, I keep getting different responses each time I ring them.
Is there anything that would should up to confirm if my ISP has FPSE
installed on there web servers, or errors generated by frontpage if the ISP
does not have FPSE installed when submitting a form to mail results?

Thanks
Si

How to check and see if FP Server Extensions are installed on the host
server:
http://www.dnswiz.com/fptype.htm

or, type in your website root URL with /_vti_inf.html ex:
http://www.mysitename.com/_vti_inf.html and you will see whether your site
has them installed and enabled.

If the forms to email transport is not enabled, you'll not get any
email...and there will be an error on your web site when the form is
submitted.

OK cheers,

www.dnswiz.com confirms that they do not have FPSE installed, they are
running Apache on Unix boxes, is it at all possible for them to install FPSE
on a Unix box or is it specific to Microsoft products (IIS, SharePoint,
etc)?

If' it's not possible to have FPSE on Apache web servers how do manage to
get such a mail form to work, bear in mind that I am not a script kiddy! and
just a newby to this sort of stuff...

Thanks
Si

Yes, extensions can be installed on Unix:

You'll need to contact the host to see what type of email form handler they
*would* support.

OK Si, so you are not a script person.

But, if your host won't instal FPSE (mine won't, they are running Apache on
Unix) there are ways to set up a DIY form to email.

Yes, it is script but I can post it here and you then do a cut and paste
into your page - it is about 15 lines of code and that is with nice spacing.

It also relies on the user having an email client installed that links to
his web page - I would guess most do, e.g. IE and OE.

Hi Si,

No problem at all

Paste this in the <head> section.
<script type="text/javascript">
function testform()
{
// place code in here to validate the form
}
function sendform()
{
with (document.form1)
{
var body = ''
var i = elements.length , j = 0
while (i-- > 2) // drop last two elements
{
body += elements[j].name
body += elements[j].value + '%0d%0a' // line break after each
line
j += 1
} // end while
}
window.location = "mailto:" + "me" + "@" + "mysite" + ".com"
+ "?subject=Response%20from%20Form1"
+ "&body=" + body
}
</script>

Paste this in the <body> section

<form name="form1" action="">
<b>Title for Form1</b>
<!-- enter your form fields in here -->
<!-- make these the last two fields -->
<input type="button" id="submit" value=" Send " onmouseover="testform()"
onclick="sendform()" />
<input type="reset" id="reset" value=" Clear "/>
</form>

By using onmouseover="testform()", you call the validate code before sending
the form.
I code testform() with statements like
if (errorcondition) return
So you will only exit the function when all errors have been tested and
cleared.
At that stage, you can press the buton to send the form

Works for me :-))

Si,
I overlooked the fact that you have no JS knowledge when I wrote:
++++++++++++++++++
By using onmouseover="testform()", you call the validate code before
sending the form.
I code testform() with statements like
if (errorcondition) return
So you will only exit the function when all errors have been tested
++++++++++++++++++

If FP has generated some JS to validate the form, then perhaps this can be
used with slight changes.

If not, then you can just leave the testform() function as blank - it will
do nothing.

If you want to perform some validation, then I could porbably assist with
the code. I would need a URL and/or some more details of what the form is
like and what you want to check
