Error message Method POST Not Allowed

When the page has a non htm or html extension it is not processed by the FP extensions. You have to
write a custom ASP/VBscript form handler to process the form data, etc.

Kristyn,
The extensions don't have anything to do with ASP pages. The problem
is Active Server Pages (ASP), the server-side technology used on Microsoft
web servers to create dynamic and/or database driven pages, is limited to
Microsoft web servers. The server you are running is a Red-Hat Linux box
running Apache. Unfortunately, files with the .asp extension will not be
processed by this server.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for your help. I have a follow-up question. When I save the form as a
..htm it works just fine. However when the validated field requirements aren't
met the page that shows up is a very unattractive error page :
Form Validation Error
Please correct the information you provided by following these steps, then
submit the information again:

Please enter at least 2 characters in the "name1" field.
Please enter at least 5 characters in the "email" field.
The first "contact" option is not a valid selection. Please choose one of
the other options.
The first "interest" option is not a valid selection. Please choose one of
the other options.

Return to the form.

As opposed to the nice, neat little box that pops up when it's a .asp
extension.

Is there a simple way to have this box pop up using a .htm extension without
knowing code?

Thanks again,
-Kristyn

In order to use the FP Form Handler, the form must have the .htm or .html extension. If you want to
use ASP to process the form, then you have to write a custom form handler in ASP/VBscript. However
you can use the standard FP Form Field validation in either case, just under Form Properties,
disable the have the form go to an error page.
