Hi all,

I am planning to upload a online form created using Frnotpage 2003 to the
website. The clients can fill in the form from the website, the result will
be sent to the boss's email address directly. any specail requirement for
the web server? i tried several times, it didnt work with my current web
hosting server....

Cheers,

Karen

The FP forms handler requires a host running the FP Server Extensions w/ Email transport enabled by the host
- check w/ your host

the frontpage component for sending email from a form requuires the frontpage
server extensions. Check with your host if they support them.

If your host doesn't have FP server ext, then a third party script for sending
the email for your server type (Windows/Linux etc) may be needed.
www.hotscripts.com is a good place to start, but Google for more.

Yes if the host server is a Windows Server that supports ASP
- again contact your host to see what server side scripting and forms handlers they support if they don't support the FP SE

PS
- if they don't support the FP SE working in ASP w/ FP is possible but "painful"



Tks very much for your quick reply. Just wondering there is another way i can get the form result....for instance, asp pages are
possible?

Hi Karen,


The Frontpage form relies on three primary ingredients.

1. The FrontPage Server Extensions must be enabled on the server.

2. You must publish with FrontPage to http location. Don't use FTP, as
this can corrupt the extensions,

3. Use of .htm or .html page extension.

In addition, the email transport as Stefan mentioned.
