Contact Form Will Only Forward To Confirmation Page

G

Guest

When I hit submit on the contact page it forwards to the confirmation page.
I have clicked form properties and told it to go to the page I created, but
it still goes to the confirmation page.

How dod I get it to skip the confirmation page and go to the custom page I
created.

In Form Properties do you have a custom page listed? If so can you post a
URL so we can see the form?

Change the page extensions to .htm (both confirmation page and contact
form page) or use .net to process the form instead of the extensions.
FP extensions will generally not work with asp.NET pages.

FYI - I get a userId/password request when opening the page.

You need to make these both .HTM pages. The FrontPage forms handler doesn't
work with ASP or ASP.NET pages. If you want to use ASP.NET then you should
write your form as an aspx page as well using ASP.NET to handle the form
functions.

On this page http://juliehamiltonart.com/contact.htm there are no <html>,
<head>, </head>, <body>, </body>,
</html> tags. You need to have those.

Switch to Code View and add <html><head> before the <title> tag. Then add
</head> after the </script> tag. Then add <body> before the <div align =
"center"> tag (after the </script>). Then add </body></html> as the last 2
tags on the page.

Open both pages in FrontPage, code view.
Notice how the confirmation page starts with a !doctype, followed by
<html>
<head>

Then further down you see

</head>
<body>

And finally at the end of the page

</body>
</html>

The contacts page is lacking these tags, which makes it a pretty good
length of text, but a very broken web page.

I added the tags, but it still went to the confirmation page. What next?

thanks for all the help, so far.

I believe I have all the tags entered in, but it still takes me to the
generic confirm. page.

FP lists as an error on the contact.htm page the following:

(1) A FrontPage Save Results component contains "contactthanks.htm" as a
confirmation or failure URL, but this page is not present in the Web.

why is that?
