Frontpage, forms and cookies?

[Jan]

Hi

Our webpage needs to collect user data on a form, clicking on submit should
move to a page where the user can check the data they have added and then
either click submit to email the data or back to go back to the form and
change some of the data.

Frontpage seems to allow us to implement something similar where the data is
sent on the first submit, and then a confirmation page is shown (with no
submit). allowing the user to go back to the form, change data and
re-submit.

My questions are:

Is there a way to make a submit button on the confirm page send the email
rather than the confirm button on the form?

Is it possible to 'save' the data the user has filled in, so that if they
need to go back and change any of it they do not have to type it all in
again? I assume it can be done using cookies, but I'm not sure how?

Do I need to scrap the frontpage wizard method and start from scratch using
asp?

Thanks for spending the time to answer these questions.

Frontpage doesn't have that feature you're asking about; it has a
Confirmation of Data Sent page (which is what you mention below - it is not
a 'check it's correct' page - the data has already been sent by the time you
see that page.

You don't necessarily need ASP
You need to set your 1st form page to send all values to the 2nd form page
and have the fields on the second form page get their values from the 1st form page,
then set the 2nd form to actually submit the values to submit to email
For a sample process to pass form field from 1 form page to another see
