Confimation pages

G

Guest

Im using Frontpage 2003, and Im trying to create a submission form.
Everything works fine. the results are emailed to an address the way ive set
it up. but I've set up a confirmation page so people who submit, don't see
the generic info.

The problem is that after hitting submit on the "form" All i keep getting is
the Generic forms results page. and the link that says "back to form" once i
click on back to form,then I get the confirmation page, no matter what i do.

Help.

Right-click over the form in Design view and select "Form Properties" - then
click on Options. Select the "Confirmation Page" tab across the top of the
window, then Browse to your confirmation page url and save.

Actually I've already done that and it's still not working. I've set up the
confirmation page exactly as it should be. and for some reason im still
getting the generic forms results page. only after you click on "back to
form" does it take you the confimation page.

It looks like the web-bot validation for the Name and eMail are located
before the web-bot for the form itself, and the former is validating through
the form, thus causing the problem in the statement:

<form method="POST" action="_vti_bin/shtml.exe/message.html"
onsubmit="return FrontPage_Form2_Validator(this)" language="JavaScript"
name="FrontPage_Form2" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">

It is redirecting before your MAIN bot which is calling for the redirect to
confirmation page.

Why are you using a cgi script "and" the FrontPage form to email transport?
it could be causing a conflict.

Also, since your saving the data to a csv file in _private, you need to make sure that the _private
folder has "server write" permissions set.

And also, you do realize that forcing the page to open at a specific size makes the bottom of the
page hidden below the status bar when viewed at 600 by 800??

40 percent of "surfers" surf at 600 by 800

I don't see any FP forms handler forms on that page
- only cgi script form as in
<form action="http://www.transmyt.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi" method=POST>
So you can't use FP form handler features like FP confirmation pages
