Frontpage Form Question

[Guest]

Is it possible to link the 'submit button' of a frontpage form to another web
page without having to insert the url of the web page through the
confirmation page.

When I put the url through the confirmation page I see this:
http://www.mywebsite.com/_vti_bin/shtml.dll/formpage.htm
I would just like it to forward to this when you click the submit button:
http://www.mywebsite.com/newpage.htm

I hope you get my question some how. Thanks

Then in Form Properties click Send to Other and then click Options and put
in newpage.htm where it says "Action" If you switch to Code View it will
look like this:

<form method="POST" action="newpage.htm">

I think there is something odd about the site
http://www.mywebsite.com/

It seems that whatever file you ask for, it will return the same

I tried:
http://www.mywebsite.com/fklJOI?3# , which must - and was intended to be -
rubbish, and I got exactly the same as:
http://www.mywebsite.com/

So I doubt that it is the submit button creating the problem.

?? You were kidding right? If not, I *think* "mywebsite.com" was a sample
URL for "my web site". The fact that it's an actual URL was a coincidence.

I was as surprised as you that it actually is a website. But when I looked
at the references in the post, they seemed quite genuine, so I tried it.

And it worked !

But is more likely that the poster really meant her own website. So I didn't
actually address the question asked. My answer would have been similar to
yours anyway.

Thanks David but when i click other there are 3 options:
Custon ISAP
Discussion Form Handler and
Registeration Form Handler
which one to pick
I use the first option and i ended up getting
http://mywebsite.com/_derived/nortbots.htm
I'm using fP 2002 by the way.
Thanks

Leave the default (Custom ISAPI) Make sure when you switch to form view it
says something like:

<form method="POST" action="newpage.htm">

Yes, that was a surprise. I use mywebsite.com as an example all the time.

The _vti_bin thing is the FP handler showing the default confirmation page.
You can create a normal web page as the confirmation page, and specify this
in the form properties.
