universal forms in FP

[Guest]

hello, I want to put forms on my site but I don't have FP extensions installed. The only reason is my host said it could possibly clash with some of their components if I chose to install them later so I'm trying to avoid them. Is their a way to create forms with frontpage that dont require the extensions. thanks for help

Yes, but the host must provide you with a form handler script or allow you to install one. In either
case you need to talk with your host to see what they have available or are willing to
install/support, etc.

hey, when I used my hosts form mail creator the form started like this
<form action="http://pcparadise4u.com/ipw-cgi/forms.cgi
enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded
method="post"
would this be what you are talking about and if so where to put it

You will need to contact your how for instructions on how to modify the form handler, however you
can use the FP Form component to actual create the form, and then post to the form handler provided
by your host by selecting the Send To Other option under form properties, and then enter the
required info, as provided by your host.

hello, My host does provide me with an option to install a form mail its one of their functoins.

Only the template they give is very limited in terms of being custom you can add your own forms but
its all limited as to layout and submission options. so you said they probably have a script I could
install or place on my page to let the frontpage forms work?
