Host does not support FrontPage Server Extensions

[Stiens]

I have spent the past week on this forum and reading FAQ's and articles,
trying to figure out why my submit button doesn't work. From everything I
read I understand that I have to upload using HTTP iso FTP. My host however
does not support FPSE, so I have to use FTP. Is the only answer to change
hosts? The webpage that is giving the problem is
http://www.al-fi.ws/index_files/Page770.htm and I use Publisher 2007 on
Vista. Please help

Unless your host supports FPSE, then you have to use a different form
program. Most hosts provide one, and instructions on how to use them. Look
under Support or FAQs. The referenced article describes how to integrate a
different form program.

I rushed to answer your question without looking at the page you linked. As
your form needs are relatively simple, you could use a javascript form. You
can google for others, but here is one example. Just change the obvious
parts, and use the insert html code fragment feature to insert it into your
Publisher page. Ctrl + V is a good way to paste into the code fragment
dialog:


<FORM action=mailto:[email protected] method="post"
enctype="text/plain">
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="4" WIDTH="90%">
<TR>
<TD width="30%"><DIV align="right">
<B>Name:</B>
</DIV>
</TD>
<TD width="70%">
<INPUT type="text" name="name" size="20">
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><DIV align="right"><B>Email:</B></DIV>
</TD>
<TD>
<INPUT type="text" name="email" size="20">
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><DIV align="right">
<B>Comment:</B>
</DIV>
</TD>
<TD><TEXTAREA name="comment" cols="30" wrap="virtual" rows="4">
</TEXTAREA>
</TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD>&nbsp;</TD>
<TD>
<INPUT type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
<INPUT type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset">
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</FORM>
