Confirmation Field

P

Philip

In Frontpage 2002, in creating a confirmation page, I followed the help
instructions. But instead of displaying the form field back to me on the
confirmation page, for example, [email protected], it just gives me the word
“email†in the email address field. This applies to the other fields a well.
Any obvious answers that anyone knows of or existing problems I should know
about?? Thanks a lot to anyone that can reply. I’m using windows XP.

Is what your are receiving really "â?oemailâ?"? I ask
this because elsewhere in your question, you state
that "Iâ?Tm using windows XP".

Are the variable names (ie, the variable name that
represents a field in your form) you are using on the
form the EXACT same names you are using on the
confirmation page? I like to copy and paste to make sure.
These variables are used by the extensions to make sure
that the form entry is "mapped" to the location on the
confirmation page you desire.

Are you testing this on your live site or on your local
PC? You need to be testing on a server that has the Front
Page Extensions operating as the extensions do the
processing of the forms data.

Hi Rick!
Yes, the form i am using has an email text box which the client types in his
email address. But when tested, the confirmation page displays the word
"email" instead of an actual address, as explained earlier. I just stated
matter of factly that i'm using windows XP, in case it was important.
As for as I know, having checked it several times, the variables are the
exact same in both locations, but I will try to copy & paste to be sure. But
being that it's doing the same thing in al fields, I doubt this is the
problem.
I am testing it on a live site, and a server which has frontpage extensions.
But I will try and refresh these extensions, good idea, just in case it
makes a difference. Thanks alot Rick, I hope I can get back with any other
possible problems, which I probably will. Thank you.

Hi Rick,
I tried copying & pasting the variables with no good results. I also
refreshed the frontpage extensions at the server and that didn't help. Do
you have any other ideas. The form is being sent to email and that works
fine. Just the 1 little problem persists as already stated. I'm stumped.
Thanks
