Submitting forms

[Josh]

I followed the directions for creating a web form in
publisher. When I click submit it says The page cannot
be displayed and the url at the top tries to go here
index_files\--WEBBOT-SELF--
I tried making a page and having it submit to a page on
the server and then I tried having it submit to my e-mail
and the same problem arose.

I am aware that you need to use FP extensions but is there
a way to do it without this component. The server I am
using has CGI Script components, is it compatible with
this?

This is covered on my FAQ page at my site.

If you know what you are doing.
First you go to the form properties and change the processing option to "use
my ISP's program"
and enter the URL of said program (CGI).
Then you need to make the appropriate code modifications in the CGI script.
