Custom Form Handler

[Fawn Davies]

I inserted a FrontPage form into a page template created by our Web
consultant that happens to be an ASP page. I have a great looking form with
the look and feel of our Web site, but the form results aren't being saved.
Upon submit, I don't get a confirmation page; I'm returned to a blank form.

I tried saving my form page with an htm extension and sacrificed having the
template applied. This time a confirmation page was returned upon hitting
submit, but still no results are being saved to a file.

Do I need to use a custom form handler?

The FP forms handler only works w/ .htm pages
- for .asp page you will need a server side forms handler

The frontpage form handler doesn't work unless the page has an .htm
extension i.e. not *.ASP (or anything other than *.htm/*.html)

"Custom Form Handler" enables you to use your own server-side code processor
script written in the server side language that is supported by your host
e.g. ASP, ASPX .Net, PHP, Perl/CGI, C# etc.

The confirmation page also needs to be a *.htm/*.html page, specified in the
form properties, when using the Frontpage form handler.

If you want a confirmation page for the custom handler, that function needs
to be written into the script.

Thank you, Andrew and Stefan. Both your responses pointed me in the
direction I need to proceed.
