Search Button Functionality - Errror - FrontPage Server Extensions

[sharsy]

Hi,

I'm getting the following error with regards to my search button in my
FrontPage document:

FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that requires a
web server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly.

This form or other FrontPage component will work correctly if you
publish this web to a web server that has the FrontPage Server
Extensions installed.

Does anyone know how can I fix this?!! I have asked ourIT guy to
install the extensions and I thought he had...

Thank you!

The error comes from nortbots.htm in the _derived folder.

nortbots.htm only appears in five cases:

1) You are testing on a disc-based website, including a FrontPage or
Expression Web disc-based web that is being browsed through a
web-server.

2) You are testing on a website that does not have server extensions
installed or running.

3) The site (or form page) was FTPed from a disc-based web, or
published using a FTP address for the destination, or published to a
file system destination including a network share or UNC address (like
\\machinename\path\webname), or to an address like C:\sitename .
Publish must be to a URL of the form shown in the following examples:
http://example.com, http://www.example.com, http://servername,
http://192.168.1.200

4) The site was correctly published, but the extensions were not
installed correctly or were mis-configured. Re-installing the
extensions may correct the problem. Some forms (example Search) may not
be supported by the server and may also show the error.

5) There is a bug associated with FrontPage98 which causes this
problem.


If you used FTP (item 3 above) then the extensions (if they were
installed) will need to be repaired or installed again, since FTP will
corrupt the extensions.
