Forms - Please Help!!

[Steve]

Hello,
On my site when you submit the form it takes you to a confirmation page and
everything is fine. The form results are stored on a public page so other
visitors can read what you typed. The layout is - writing sepearted by a line
and then wrting again and so on. I do not want this. I want to have control
over where the results are stored like in a table. Sort of like confirmation
fields but the results MUST stay on the page. Then I can change how they
look. Any suggestions?

Are you using the Frontpage guestbook template or discussion forum template?
They have limitations as far as the flexibility of the layout is concerned.

You might try using the database results wizard, and use your form to write
the results to the DB. The results wizard generates the results area on
your page in Design view, but you can have more control over the layout - it
gives you more flexibility than the guestbook or discussion forum anyway,
and requires the server ext and ASP on a Windows server.

If you're hosting on other than Windows, then a perl/cgi script might suit
you - try www.ezscripting.com for some easy, simple to use scripts - which
give you some flexibility on layout of the results that people can view.
