Form Problems

[doctorpc]

I am adding a simple feedback form and have done this many times. I am
getting aggrivated now because when I click on send, my email opens a new
window to create a new email. What is this??

I have check everything in the form properties and the fields are simple
text fields and the hyperlink for the button is my email address. It has the
mailto: extension in the email and all the settings are correct. I have even
compared this new form to other forms I have done on other pages and it's all
the same.

What am I overlooking??? This is really getting to me now!

The send button for the form is not supposed to be a mailto: hyperlink.
If you've made it one, remove the mailto.
You set the email address the form sends to in form properties.

I've tried that too. I've tried everything I know. I even compared this form
with other forms I've done on other sites. when I take the link off the
button, I get a flat error page with nothing on it like the browser doesn't
know what to do.

I'm flat stumped.

Is the page public where someone can look at it??

Yes, the form is public. I removed the mailto link on the submit button in
the form. Are there any hyperlinks for the button?? I have none now and when
I click on submit, not a Frontpage Error page comes up with no real info on
it at all.

Can I send you this test page? I have done this sooo many time I just have 3
text fields without any labels so I can test it quickly. I'm stumped.

Do I have the txt file as the hyperlink on the button? Tried that too. Then
I get just a blank page coming up when I click on submit. Still no form being
sent.

thanks

You don't want to add anything to the submit button that is automatically
created.

In code view all you should see is the following:

<input type="submit" value="Submit">

There is nothing added to the submit button as I said. Everything is done in
the form properties area and it just says <input type="submit" value="Submit"
name="Submit"> for the button itself. When I click on the submit button from
the browser I get:
FrontPage Error.

Just don't understand what's going on.
