Forms

[NJ Vike]

Greetings!

I created a form at http://sitemagicdesign.com/tommadsen/information.htm
and when you click on the button, I get the following error message:

FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that requires a
web server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly.

This form or other FrontPage component will work correctly if you
publish this web to a web server that has the FrontPage Server
Extensions installed.

Click the <Back> arrow to return to the previous page.

I have uninstalled and then reinstalled the Front Page Components but
it's still not working. The only clue to this mystery is that I
created another form to test and I didn't put in any e-mail address on
the form and it worked.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Has your host enabled the email transport in the FrontPage extensions?
" [FrontPage Save Results Component] " is an indication that this has
not been done, or there is some other problem.

The complete error message when submitting comes from
_derived/nortbots.htm

nortbots.htm only appears in five cases:

1) You are testing on a disc-based website, including a FrontPage or
Expression Web disc-based web that is being browsed through a
web-server.

2) You are testing on a website that does not have server extensions
installed or running.

3) The site (or form page) was FTPed from a disc-based web, or
published using a FTP address for the destination, or published to a
file system destination including a network share or UNC address (like
\\machinename\path\webname), or to an address like C:\sitename .
Publish must be to a URL of the form http://example.com

4) The site was correctly published, but the extensions were not
installed correctly or were mis-configured. Re-installing the
extensions *may* correct the problem.

5) There is a bug associated with FrontPage98 which causes this
problem.

Ronx,

Thanks for your reply. I think the hosting company I'm using doesn't
use Front Page and therefore can't assist me.

Here's the URL I also recieve upon hitting the "Submit" button:

http://sussexweb.com/_derived/nortbots.htm

I see this file in FTP but am not sure why I get this URL

Can you recommend to me any hosting company that is familiar with
Front Page forms?

Thanks

I use http://webhost4life.com for hosting, but email from FrontPage
extensions is not enabled on my account, and I am not sure if they
support it. I know that GoDaddy does not support email from extensions.

I see http://sitemagicdesign.com/tommadsen/_derived/nortbots.htm when I
press Submit.

This comes from the action attribute in the <form tag, placed there when
the page is published or saved, replacing "--webbot self--" that you see
in FrontPage code view, and is a result of one of those 5 cases I posted
earlier.
Since the site does not have FrontPage extensions, it is likely to be
any (or both) of cases 2 and 3.

Alternatives are to use PHP, asp, asp.Net for the form processing.
