WEBBOT-SELF v _vti_bin/shtml.dll

[John Hogue]

Where can I get an understanding of how "WEBBOT_SELF"
instructions work within the form submit process?
I'm having problems getting FP'02-generated
form "submits" to work. Viewing coding with an online
Form Submit that works I get into comaprisons of:
action="_derived/nortbots.htm"
onSubmit="location.href='_derived/nortbots.htm';return
false;" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" webbot-onSubmit>
{Doesn't Work!}
versus
onSubmit=" " action="_vti_bin/shtml.dll/(Page name)"
{Works}

So you are asking a different question within my post??

 

[Stefan B Rusynko]

You should only get the onSubmit="location.href='_derived/nortbots.htm' in disc based webs or in online webs that have not been
published using FP http mode to a server running the FP SE

FYI
the nortbots stand for NORunTimewebBOTS
- meaning the action is not server based as a run time webbot tool

Not actually, but coincidentally, there may be some
relationship between the two; I can't say. However, my
root problem went away when the host added or re-launched
FP Server Extensions on the web server AND configured it
to send the submissions by e-mail.
