Reference to Parent page

[Alain]

Hi,

Using FP 2003 on a server with FP extensions.

At the bottom of several pages, I include a form to allow visitors to
send comments and suggestions. Same form is included on all pages.

I want the form, when submitted, to identifiy the page where it was
included (by name or otherwise). Form could be submitted through a FP
component or through a PHP page.

How can I reference the page from where the form was submitted?

Thanks.

Alain

it's not something inherent to FrontPage's form handler, but generally
you'll want to add a hidden form field, filled (using scripting) with the
scriptname. then on the page the form submits to you'll request the
scriptname from that hidden form field and write it into the body of the
email or save it to a file.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your answer.

Ok to add a field ;
Ok to request a field value and send it in the body of an email

The field name in the included file is: SourcePage, a text type input box.

....but this I don't understand: «filled (using scripting) with the
scriptname»
How do I refer to a form field (in the included file) from the parent page?
OR
How do I refer to a parent page's property in the included file?

....and then set the value of a form field?

Maybe another design altogether might do better: I just want to know
from which page the suggestion was made.

Thanks again; hope to hear from you soon.

You would have to use ASP, PHP, etc. to capture the filename of the page the form was accessed from
and pass that as a hidden form field value.

FYI: All pages must be .asp or .php or whatever server-side script language.

This may also be possible to do with JavaScript client side.

Thanks to both of you.

It seems better to use a completely different design.
I realised that my pages were in frames so that page name was not valid.

The form now includes, at the top, a drop-down list of all pages where
it may be included.

On each page were form is included, just before the form, I suggest the
name of the selection to be done(Please select xxx in the list box
below). Value of list box is easily retrieved.

Thanks again

Alain
