forms ugh

[Daytona Steve]

I've spend most of the evening trying to make a form work. Finally I copied
an entire page of code from a form that works to the site where the form
doesn't work. The code that works on one doesn't work on the other.

The form at this site works fine:

http://www.uniquecraftique.com/level2/contact2.htm

The same code copied to this site doesn't

http://www.zbtmarshall.org/levltwo/reunregzbt.html

Both sites are on the same account and the same server with the same host.

Driving me crazy, don't want to save to a file, just send an e-mail.

Some hosts will not allow fp's form handler to send email to a different
domain...try a zbtmarshall.org email addy.

Also, 1&1 hosting has made some changes recently, make sure they did not
dump your FP Server Extensions.

Chnaged the address to one with the zbtmarsahll address, no joy. I will
reset the extentions although since unique craftique works and zbt doesn't on
the same account and server...hey I'll try anything to get it to work. Thanks

Is http://www.zbtmarshall.org/ set up as a subweb of
http://www.uniquecraftique.com/ ? If so the form may not work since the
form will be looking for a file in http://www.zbtmarshall.org/_vti_bin/,
which does not exist.

The page http://www.zbtmarshall.org/_vti_inf.html does not exist, this
indicates that FrontPage extensions are not installed on
http://www.zbtmarshall.org (but may be installed on the subweb of
http://www.uniquecraftique.com/used by this domain).

Note that the page http://www.uniquecraftique.com/_vti_inf.html DOES
exist.

I think thats its. ZBT is sub of Unique. I reset extentions, reloaded the
site, still no joy.
So as a general rule, forms won't work in subwebs......

 

[Ronx]

Forms will and do work in subwebs - but only if accessed by the same
domain as the root web.

Thanks for the info. It triggered some ideas and I fixed it. It's probably
not the most elegant solution but I created the form on the root site and
then created an I Frame in the ZBT site. Bingo...works great.

Thanks again for the help. You guys are the best.

Some hosts will not allow fp's form handler to send email to a different
domain...try a zbtmarshall.org email addy.

Can't you automatically forward the email to a different host?

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Yes, if the current host has that option in their mail server settings.

You would have FP send to an email account associated with the domain of the form, then from that
account you would forward where ever.

A better solution (based on yours) would be to place the form page in
the folder used by the ZBT site.
Use the I-Frame as you are but the source for the frame would be similar
to http://www.uniquecraftique.com/zbtfolder/formpage.htm
The confirmation page would be in the same zbt folder.

This at least keeps all the pages for the zbt site together.

Thanks but the e-mail domain is not the issue for. I changed the address to
the ZBT domain, no joy. I then changed an address on a working form to a
yahoo e-mail address...no problem.

Ronx solution is working so far, I put the confirmation page and the form in
the same folder.

Thanks to all who posted...I'd still be figuring out how to start the
program without this forum.
