web form

[Bobby T]

I would like to add a web form to my website, but I don't care for the
validation "messages" that FrontPage sends when a required field(s) are not
entered. For instance, if COMMENTS field is required and it is not entered,
the message sent back on submit is.... Please enter value for the "Comment"
field. I would prefer that it would say something like "Please enter
Comment Information", or something else more professional sounding than the
"generic" message that FrontPage sends; preferably a message that I can
control.

Is there any way to change the validation "messages" in FrontPage or is
there some software or add-on available for creating professional forms. I
tried searching Yahoo & Google and didn't find anything helpful. I did find
some products that sounded promising, but the information in the my web
forms would be sent to "their" servers and I don't want that.

Appreciate any information you can give me.

The FrontPage components were written by programmers. If you're a
programmer, you can roll your own. If not, you can learn programming.
Otherwise, it would be best to stick with what the professionals wrote and
you paid for.

Kevin,
Unfortunately, I don't care for "what I paid for". My questions was to see
if anyone could give me any worthwhile suggestions; yours were worthless!

Okay, here's the answer you don't want to hear: Using FP validation, you
can't change it.

My suggestion was the only possible alternative. Your attitude is worthless.

You could check with your host and see if they offer an
alternate form handler that would be more to your liking.

If it does not meet your needs, as Kevin suggests you
would have to program your own or pay someone to do it
for you.

Sorry you can't be given an answer more to your liking
but folks here can be very helpful (and aren't paid). Be
nice in the future and you are more likely to get
continued help.
