DWT prevents proper database post?

[D.]

I've developed a form used to collect contact information
before allowing site visitors to download files. The
form
(http://www.xalttechnologies.com/library_request.asp)
collects the data, posts to an access database, then
passes the form data to a confirmation page.

When I attach my Dynamic Web Templates the posting
functionality is eliminated. An example of the same
library_request.asp file after it has attached can be
found here:
http://www.xalttechnologies.com/library_request_copy
(1).asp

Any ideas why the DWT is causing this?

Thanks for all help.

Difficult to say w/o seeing the ASP code,
- and the DWT editable regions (which you appear to have stripped)

If your ASP code in the page was in a noneditable region of the template, the DWT is wiping it out
- what do you see of your ASP in Code view once you have applied the DWT?

Actually I am allowing FP to generate 100% of the code
and I then save the file with an ASP extension. Therein
lies the question: If the FP form functions without the
template, and then when the template is applied (placing
the form in an editable region), why, then, is it no
longer functional.

I'll "un" optimize the HTML per FP and republish the
files so you can see the source.

What do you think?

Thanks. D.

Look at the code in an un optimized .asp page w/o the DWT applied
- when you use FP to generate your code for a DRW, it adds code to the page in more than the form area (top of page and head
section)
- those other regions need to be editable regions before you apply the DWT

PS
- if you optimize to remove comments or webbot code, nothing will work

Ah, there is the problem. Optimization can and does eliminate required code.
