The browser used does not matter, provided the browser can display the
form. This display aspect is entirely under *your* control. The

Thomas-
I will create a test page on the site TODAY & I will call it
"order_test.htm" and try to alter the form properties to point (ONLY
in IE)
to a confirmation page.
I will try to see what the help page does to assist me in this...
I'm hoping
that it works, because last time it didn't!
The other concern is a user that uses the FireFox browser... does
the forms
process the data in front page and send it by e-mail when a user
uses this
browser?
Because my customer claims that it never works!?
Thomas A. Rowe said:You have to create a standard HTML page and then enter the path to
it under Form Properties |
Confirmation Page. See help for specific details.

I'm using FP 2003 - tell me where this is, to access custom
confirmation
page, I want to at least edit that confirmation page.. to state
something
differently...???
:
You can use the Custom Confirmation Page feature in FrontPage.

| Okay, but what we really want to do is change the confirmation
to say
"Thank
| you" and to click here to submit your order... how can we do
that?
