Feedback form?

[Mommio2]

Hi! I tried putting a feedback form into our school's web site today, but I
am unable to have it sent as a text file to the server (what it does by
default). Is there a way to instead have the form sent to an email address?
When I hyperlink the submit button to an email address, it just opens up a
new email. I want to send the form via email. Thanks! I am VERY new to FP
2003! I really appreciate all the help I can get!

Mommio2,

The FrontPage form relies on the FrontPage Server
Extensions and publishing with FrontPage to http location.
Don't udse FTP.

In addition, the FP form is set up in form properties to
send to email and optional file. This is not determined by
creating a hyperlink to the submit button. For a basic
heads up on building FrontPage forms, stop by my site.

Wow, thanks to you both! Can't wait to try it! It's so nice to have so
many experts to ask when I am just starting out!

One more question, please. I tried this and it worked GREAT - except
for one little thing! I tried to set up my own confirmation page. After I
set the form properties, I went to the confirmation tab. The browse button
is not active, so I could not browse to show it where my confirmation page
was. I tried typing in the URL, too, but when I try it out online and click
the submit button, it tells me that the confirmation page is not found on
the system. Then, I type in the URL of the confirmation page, and it goes
right there, so it is available! Any ideas why this is happening or why my
browse (to set the confirmation page) is not lit up? Thanks so much again!

Make sure you always have a FP Web/Site open when working on pages w/i the site
- that's probably why you couldn't Browse to it
