Form -- Submit button does not invoke confirmation page.

[Stan Hilliard]

My form used to bring up my custom confirmation page when I pushed the
submit button.. Now it goes nowhere. It does send an email and it
posts records in a txt file and an htm file.

I have recently changed from FP 2000 to FP 2003. The site is also on a
different server. Extensions are FP2000. Server is Windows 2000 using
IIS.

The page with the form is:
tpzerouserinput.htm

The confirmation page is:
tpzerouserconfirmation.htm

I have tried leaving the confirmation page blank to use the FP default
confirmation but that doesn't work either.

What could be the problem?

Experimental Results:
I did an experiment to determine if my code or the server.
were causing my custom confirmation page to fail to display after I
push [submit] on the form.

1) I created new blank.htm containing only the text "blank.htm".

2) I created a new file (formtest.htm) and inserted a new form. I
added the word "blank.htm" in [Form Properties][options...][confirm
page]

3) Both files are in the root web of samplingplans.com.

4) In Firefox, and in IE6, I push [Submit] and get an all white page
-- no text. It does not contain the confirmation file: blank.htm. The
address bar contains:
http://www.samplingplans.com/_vti_bin/shtml.dll/formtest.htm

5) In filetest.htm, I changed the confirmation page to my home page:
Default.htm. It works. When I push the form's [submit] button the home
page is displayed.

Does this experiment indicate that the problem is with the server. If
so, what should I tell my ISP to check?

What could be causing this strange behavior?

Stan, having the same problem. When you click the submit button mine is going
from the form (http://www.mysite.com/myform.htm") back to the form
(http://www.mysite.com/myform.htm/_vti_bin/shtml.dll/myform.htm) in the
addresses. It also had an permissions problem before this. Someone told me to
try to reload the FP Extentions but it still did the same thing. I am trying
to get a hold of someone in re: of it. i will forward the info to you if i
get it first. Let me know if it is the same. i am trying to envoke a email
response from the submit button and have nothing in the box above the email
addy in "Form Properties".

Kurt, I have also had problems with permissions before this. Certain
individual files could not be opened, or read, or renamed or saved --
but it was only a certain few files. My ISP thought it was a problem
with the file system and moved my site to a different server.

That appeared to have fixed it, but now -- a week later -- I
discovered these new problems.

I will let you know of any information I get.
