Form problem

[Arni]

I cut and pasted a form from MS Word then placed a submit
button at the bottom of the form. When I test the form in
Preview view, it sends me to a page stating the page
cannot be found. In the saved fields of the form
properties box, it is not listing any of the WS Word
fields, despite the fact I hand entered them into the
saved fields area. I am sure I have several problems with
this page, if someone can look at it and point me in the
right direction, I would appreciate it. URL=

If you want to create a web site form, use FrontPage to create it.

1) The opening <form tag is located immediately before the submit / reset
buttons. The fields pasted in from Word are not part of the form at all.
Move the <form....> tag to before the first field. Be careful with nesting
in tables and divs.
After moving the tag, do Tools -> Recalculate Hyperlinks, and check the form
properties.

2) The inline styles (style="width:103;padding:2.25pt; height:24.75pt")
imported from msword may choke some browsers.

3) [FrontPage Save Results Component] indicates that the FPextensions may
not be present, or the page was FTPd to the server. FP forms must be http
published to a server with FP extensions.

General Comments:
4) Remove spaces from file names - this is bad HTML, and some browsers will
not find the pages.

5) The hover buttons do not show on my system, since I have set my browser
security to not allow Java. Users with fresh installs of WinXP and / or Ie6
may not have a JVM (Java Virtual Machine), and will not see the Hover
buttons either.
