I created a form in frontpage but my submit button won't work when I set it to send results to an email.?

Question

I already uploaded it to the host but when I click submit, it takes me to an error page with an address that says webot self. What can I do different?

Answer 1

You can't submit from forms with out the Frontpage file calling a script to run the action you want. You need an SSI or CGI script. If this is already there check the directory. If that's correct, check to see if the site you are using accepts Frontpage extensions. It could be any number of things. I would need to see the code. Hope this helps.

I believe you need a host which supports FrontPage extensions. Not every hosting provider allows these. You should consider a server-side scripting language supported by your host. For example, a host that provides php support would only *require* a single line:

in order to send the email when they filled in the body and clicked submit.

Answer 3

Without seeing the actual code, it's difficult to tell you the answer. Why not repost it including the code you used for the form?
