Forms data format

E

I am trying to grasp how to have a web page be the
recipient to data entered in a onevline frame. What is
the suffix of the page (.txt.htm or .html or ?) and what
should be the format of the data that is entered? (.txt,
HTML CSV or ? All I want is the person's name. None of
this is spelled out in the two FP manuals that I have.
Thanks

(Scratching my head for a minute...) What exactly IS a "onevline frame?" And
you want "a web page to be the recipient to data entered" in this mysterious
entity.

Okay, I grasp that your technical vocabulary is limited. So, rather than
have you try to explain it in technical terms again, how about this? Tell us
what your requirements are. Requirements are not about technology.
Requirements are about what technology DOES for you. For example, you might
have a requirement that a person visiting your site register by filling out
a form with personal information, and having that form enter their name and
other information into a data storage device of some kind. Your requirement
might be that you want to build a shopping cart, where users can browse and
order products. What you've written is a partial plan for fulfilling your
requirements, not your requirements themselves.

So, what is it exactly that you are trying to DO? Just leave off the
technical jargon and tell us what the user should experience.

The v in "one line form" is a typo, sorry. All I want is
a list of the people that visit the site. I thought that
I could just have a blind page with the names that I
could download and review the list from time to time.The
form properties generated a default name that had a / in
itand a txt suffix which caused an error. Now that I read
my question I guess that I really messed it up sorry, I'll
be more careful in the future.
