Will Frontpage Do the Following?

[Guest]

1. Can I have a streaming video started from a page in my web site?
2. Can I have a page where a potential client enters information which is
sent back to me?
Thanks.

: 1. Can I have a streaming video started from a page in my
web site?
--->>> Yes. A streaming video can be included or started
from your site.
The question then becomes will this be a 'true' stream or
not. A true stream would come from a media server, as
opposed to just being a file in a website being
progressively downloaded and viewed. Most people can get
away with the latter.

: 2. Can I have a page where a potential client enters
information which is sent back to me?
--->>>Yes. The method of input is called a form. There are
also several packaged form handlers included with FP that
can get the information from the form back to you.

Yes to both.

With your web open, (File > Open > Web or file > open > site in FP2003)

1) Insert > Picture > Video to insert a movie, but your server
hardware/bandwidth would have to support streaming video.


2) Use the Frontpage form handler, design your form on a page, then click
form properties, and enter your email address and/or the file name to send
the data to.

Else, you can have the form data processed by an ASP, PHP, CGI or whatever
script you like, as long as your host server supports and allows it.
