Need Help with Form

[Winnie]

I used Frontpage 2000 to create a form. As the visitor submits the
form, the field entries will automatically log in a text file. The
coding as follows:

<FORM action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" method="POST" onSubmit="return
validate()" name="fp_form1">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" startspan S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE"
S-Email-Address="(e-mail address removed)" B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE"
S-Builtin-Fields U-Confirmation-Url="confirmation.htm"
--><strong>[FrontPage Save Results Component]</strong><!--webbot
bot="SaveResults" endspan -->

However, when I published this to the website, it is automatically
changed to:

<FORM action="_vti_bin/shtml.dll/feedback.htm" method="POST"
onSubmit="return validate()" name="fp_form1"
webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" startspan S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE"
S-Email-Address="(e-mail address removed)" B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE"
S-Builtin-Fields U-Confirmation-Url="confirmation.htm" --><input
TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP" VALUE="0"><!--webbot
bot="SaveResults" endspan i-checksum="43374" -->

Since the action points to _vti_bin/shtml.dll/feedback.htm, I have
received a blank page. If anyone has any advice, I would greatly
appreciate it. Thanks.

Winnie,

Hello Group,

Check that the URL you typed in FORM PROPERTIES |OPTIONS
CONFIRMATION PAGE tab, refers to a page on your computer
(in other words, your FrontPage generated web. This should be
"confirmation.htm" or "feedback.htm", and not the full URL,
i.e. "http://www.domain.com/confirmation.htm" in the
"URL of confirmation page" field.

This may be the reason you are getting a blank page at the server.

I discovered this problem in FrontPage 2000 some time ago.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Andy
