FP2002 form confirmation page asp

E

Emmett Power

Hi,

I have FP2002 installed on a website. The site collects data in a
number of forms. The forms are on htm pages and included on asp pages
using <!--#include virtual="/[PageName].htm"-->. So far so good

The problem I am having is that I want to use an asp page as a
confirmation. I need an asp page to run some cookie-based script based
on the content of the form.

As I understand it you cannot use an asp page as a confirmation in a
FP2002 form. Is there any workaround to this problem other than
handcoding the form in asp.

Thanks

Some people have implemented workarounds whereby
JavaScript code in a custom confirmation page collects
data and autosubmits a request to a second (ASP) page. But
to me, it seems much tidier to just code the whole thing
in ASP (or ASP.NET).

But of course, there's no accounting for taste.
