I am unable to get a search form working on a web site. I'm using FP 2002, I
published using HTTP, and nothing seems to work (I've searched the forums
here, but I don't think my case is covered). My host (Godaddy) swears the
problem is with my coding or otherwise on my end. The page is:
http://bradsclassictrucks.com/search.htm. The result of using the form always
results in a 404 error and ends at this address:
http://bradsclassictrucks.com/_derived/nortbots.htm
I've found the posts here (by Gail) which say:
nortbots.htm only appears in four cases:
1) You are testing on a disc-based website, including a FrontPage
disc-based web that is being browsed through a web-server.
2) You are testing on a website that does not have server extensions
installed or running
3) The site (or form page) was FTPed from a disc-based web, or
published using a FTP address for the destination. Publish must be to
a URL of the form http://example.com
4) There is a bug associated with FrontPage98 which causes this
problem.
OK, I'm using the published web as hosted by Godaddy via Internet Explorer,
so #1 isn't the problem. I published using http, so #3 is out. I'm using FP
2002, so #4 isn't the problem.
To try to rule out # 2, I've done this:
I erased search.htm off the host-based website. I removed the account's FP
extensions, and then later re-installed them. (I checked my account to make
sure the changes were both made.) I removed and then put a new FP search
form component in my disc-based/local version of the web, and recalculated
hyperlinks. I then published the site again using the "overwrite all files"
option -- and I'm getting the same results. Godaddy tech support swears it's
on my end. Could someone PLEASE (sorry about the shouting, but I'm pulling my
newbie hair out)help me figure this out?! What could or should I do? Thanks
for any help!
