Validation page no longer working

J

James Ivey

Morning David,

Thanks for responding.

It's all the "Workshop Selection" fields down at the bottom of the form.
The "Group Option" radio buttons.

I've got them set to validate, and when they are not, I get the Alert box
instead of my validation page.

The validation looks like it's working correctly. You have a validation
page as your confirmation page. This will only appear after the form is
submitted and the form can't submit until all the required fields (validated
fields) have been entered. If one is missing, when you click submit you see
the alert box telling you that you need to fill in the field. It looks
right to me. Is there a different way you expect it to work?

Yes, it is working, just not the way it has been.

Prior to yesterday, when one of the required fields not filled in, it would
go here:
http://www.iampeth.com/validation.htm

Now, I get the Alert boxes, and I can't seem to change it back.

The Alert boxes are Ok, but I would rather have my own validation page
(validation.htm)

The way it's working now is the way it should work. The way it was working
should never have worked unless you didn't have those fields validated
before. Seems like it went from not working right to working right but
you'd prefer the not working right way :)

To do that you would need to custom code your own JavaScript Validation and
code for submitting the form instead of using FrontPage validation

Then what is the point of having the option to set a custom Validation page?
(in Form Properties)

My apologies. I misread the question. I never use the custom validation
page so I forgot it was there. I just took another look at your form. In
form properties you have it set to ../validation.htm. Try changing it to
just validation.htm (get rid of the ../)

No problem. And thanks again for responding.

I'll give that a try later this evening (don't have Frontpage on my work
box).

Its still a puzzlement though. It was working fine until yesterday.

Well, I tried getting rid of the ../ and unfortunately, no worky.

When I do a View Source on the web page form, I see a nice big chunk of
javascript just after the <body> tag that is calling all the Alert boxes...
it appears to be generated by the Frontpage Server extensions. That is, I
didn't put it there.

Could the ISP (1and1) have upgraded the server extensions causing this?

I'm baffled. More than anything I'm annoyed that now I can't use my custom
validation page.

Dang it.

Yes, called them last night. She assured me nothing has changed.

I installed Office2003 last weekend - wonder if that could have anything to
do with it? I doubt it since it didn't include Frontpage2003.

Oh well, its a mystery. I can live with the Alert boxes.

Thanks David.
