Using FP extensions with non-FP pages?

M

Murray

Guys:

Is it possible to do this? I am being asked to duplicate some FP form
functionality on a site I am building with brand-x.

Client has told me to just use this code for the form -

<form method="POST" language="JavaScript" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--"
onsubmit="return FrontPage_Form1_Validator(this)" name="FrontPage_Form1">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" s-email-format="TEXT/PRE"
s-email-address="(e-mail address removed)" b-email-label-fields="TRUE"
s-date-format="%d %b %Y" s-time-format="%H:%M:%S"
s-builtin-fields="REMOTE_NAME REMOTE_USER HTTP_USER_AGENT Date Time"
u-confirmation-url="acctresp.htm" startspan --><input TYPE="hidden"
NAME="VTI-GROUP" VALUE="0"><!--webbot bot="SaveResults" endspan
i-checksum="43374" --><input type="hidden" name="returnto" value="XXXXXx
Home Page"><input type="hidden" name="returntohref"
value="http://www.XXXXX.com"><input type="hidden" name="subject"
value="XXXXX New Account Request"><table cellspacing="0" border="1"
width="500" bgcolor="#DFDFDF" bordercolor="#FFFFFF">

Is this going to work?

Defin "non-FP pages." If you are working with a FrontPage web, and it has
server extensions, you can use the Frontpage server extensions components,
such as form handlers. Otherwise not.

I am building the site in Dreamweaver. The page on which this form exists
is not an FP page, nor is the site an FP site, but it is replacing an older
FP site that used extension methodology to process the forms.

From your response it sounds to me like I am not going to be able to do
this....

Murray,
You are going to have to use a custom script to generate
the email with the form's content.

Thanks - that's what I thought. In this case the FP extensions are not
accessible to me then.

Creating a custom script to handle the form is not a problem, but if I don't
need to do it, I don't want to recreate the wheel, doncha know?

Murray,

That would be correct. FWIW, I recommend not using the FP
form handler when sending Email, as the address is visible
to the harvesters.

Check with your hosting service. Many of them have scripts/executables
already installed, which you can use.

Kevin:

Thanks - that's not the problem. I can do it all myself, but my client had
suggested that rather than do that, I could just fire the form's data into
the FP extensions. Sensing that this was a bogus suggestion I thought I'd
check here first. Indeed it seems to have been a red herring.... 8)
