.asp form and Frontpage submit button - HELP!

R

Randi

Hi
I have an order form built in FrontPage that is in a .ASP file format. I
cannot get the SUBMIT button to send the results of the order form to my
e-mail address or even view a confirmation page. When clicking on the
submit button, it just clears the entire form and never sends any results.
My web hosting has frontpage extensions enabled, but I'm at a total loss.
Is there something different I need to do because it's a .ASP file?
PLEASE HELP ME!
Thank you.
Randi

If you are using the FrontPage form handler to send to email and file, then
switching to .htm extension may solve the problem.

Ok, but what happens if you are using include files that require the use of
asp pages instead of htm?

I have a site that uses includes for the navigation and I want a secure form
in ssl. It won't work unless we use asp. That causes a problem as the form
handler doesn't work in asp, just htm. What is the alternative? Using a CGI
script to handle the mail?

Thanks,
AJ

Then you have to use ASP to process the form, then means writing a custom ASP/VBScript form handler
and CDONTS or CDOSYS or another 3rd Party ASP email component, etc. and not the FP Form Handler.

That was what I didn't want to hear. I was hoping there was some easy way to
get the FP Form Handler to work in this situation. Why is that? You'd think
that it would work with asp pages.

You'd think that it would work with asp pages.
Apparently, he doesn't. Or he wouldn't have said what he did.

Maybe you think it would work with asp pages. Why do you think that?

Not necessarily. Explaining how something works is different from how someone
would like it to work.
