Submitting Forms - 12/30/2003 15:50:43
This is a easy question for you pro's but ..i am hung up?  . I have a form that i copied off of another site..changed some of the code to make it more appealing to my site. The form is in Java. My question is multi-part; (1.) When i click the submit button, where should the info go? (2.) How would i go about setting the hyperlink up, if i need a hyperlink? (3.) On the code <!--webbot bot="Validation" s-display-name="TYPE" b-disallow-first-item="TRUE" -->" what is webbot and how does it apply to me? (4.) How would i get the code on the subitted information?!? Included is the Link http://www.mostellarmedical.org/appointment.htm
Any help from you professionals would be outstandingly gracious!
thanks
Judson

1. You will probably want the code emailed to yourself or perhaps have it put into a database. You can specify where you want the form sent in the form properties.
2. You will not need a hyperlink on the form except to allow a person to navigate away from the form without submitting it or to set up an email. The "Submit" button will take care of form processing and send them to a confirmation page.
3. The code you are asking about is part of FrongPage's validation script. This validation is performed by the server extensions. I suggest not including that when you copy code and then using FP's validation properties to create whatever you want.
4. In FrontPage's form properties you will need to choose where the information is sent and what format you want it in.
Note: If you are using FP and copied the form off of another site you may run into some problems. You may wish to create a brand new form and then copy only the code that contains form field tags and place those between the <form></form> tags. Don't copy the <form> tag or any of the <webbot> code.
BTW, you need to make sure you are not copying the other person's design. Reusing standard code is legal, and lists and form fields are not copyrightable, but site design and any content that can be considered "creative" will be automatically copryrighted.

You need to create your own form. It is easy with FP. Also are you sure it is java or javascript?
Check out this site to learn how to create a form with FP: http://frontpag.bizland.com

Hm, is that HIPAA compliant? :)
You have this in there: C:\Documents and Settings\Judson\My Documents\Mostellar Medical Center\results.txt - that might be one of the reasons that it is not e-mailing you.

Hm, bet you never would have thought you would hear that word in this forum eh?
First - do you need it to be dumped to the file as well? Now that actually might not be good because it is stored on the server. And having the information that you are asking could potentially cause some problems. I recommend not dumping it to that file. If you do not want it - right click on the form - choose form properties. Now under send to file name - highlight what is in there & delete it.
Now if you do want it to go to a file you will need to create a directory (usually this is _private) and then you want to make sure that it is has read/write permissions so that it can be written to.

That is interesting. Maybe someone needs to talk to them at some point. LOL. I actually work with Wellpoint / Blue Cross on getting their electronic claims compliant & I know a little extra. But I think it has gone way overboard. I could not even get my eye doctor to fax over my contact lens prescription!
Anyway - get rid of the file first to see if it works. And just to make sure - you are publish & not FTP, right?

That is the other problem. You have to use FP. You will more than likely need to contact your host & ask them to install FP extensions. Once that is done - go to file - publish & enter your URL & it will ask you for your user name / password.

Sounds good - if not - contact the host & get them to re-install the extensions.

Do you have access to the e-mail address that you have on there for the form to be going to?

When you hit enter - did it go to conf.htm? if not - you need to get your FP extensions re-installed.

RE: Submitting Forms - 12/31/2003 13:04:46
If your form says [FrontPage Results Region] (or something to that effect) on it at the top of the form you know that your server extensions have been corrupted. If after you post the form you don't go to a confirmation page your server extensions are corrupted. If that is so, have them reinstall the extensions for you.
Open the Form properties and look over it carefully. There should be a few different tabs where you can specify the email address and the confirmation page.
If things are still not working, try creating a simple form with just one input box that just sends information to your email address. If that is working but the other form is not try recreating the form, copying the form fields over, and deleting the old form.
