WEBBOT-SELF. NEED HELP. - 4/13/2004 15:34:50   
Alright, I'm trying to make a form with Frontpage that people can write their guitar tabs in, and then it will e-mail them to me so I can put them on the website. So I used the Forms Wizard, but when I try to use it, it comes up with "HTTP 404 Not Found" and in the Address box it has "http://www.decile.net/guitartrash/--WEBBOT-SELF--". What is WEBBOT-SELF? It is screwing everything up and I really need to know how to fix this.
Need Help Soon,

That's a Front Page component "bot" - basically it's telling the form to post data to the same page and process it to the output you specify in the field parameters...

Are you trying to let them upload a file? Or simply input some text?

I'm Just trying to get them to input some text. I have some text boxes asking the name of the song and the name of the artist, and then a scroll down to choose the type of tab. Then I have a large text area for them to write their tab into. I don't know how to make this work.

In the form fields property dialog box (Right click the form, select Form Properties) have you indicated your email address as the target?

It's strange that you'd get a 404 error on a form..? Did you specify a custom confirmation page and forget to create it?

When I right click on the forms box and select forms properties, I can chose where to store results(thats where I typed my e-mail), but the "Target Frame" is not able to be used. It does have a button to the side of it with three dots and a pencil. When I click it, I can set the common target. I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about. And I do not have a custom confirmation page set up, I tried setting one up, and it still didn't work.

Hi Gituar Trash,

Welcome to the forum ... :)


Well, let's see.

You have an ending </Head> tag preceeded by a beginning <Form> tag, followed by a <Body> tag. But, you don't seem to have a beginning <Head> tag. Of course the beginning <Form> tag belongs inside the <Body> with your fields and ending </Form> tag.

You currently have your form fields and ending </Form> tag inside the <Body>

In addition, you are attempting to send your results to the Bravenet form handler.

If the FPSE (FrontPage Server Extensions) are in place on your server, then why not use the FrontPage form handler.

At any rate, I would recommend making a new page and a new form. If you start with Insert >> Form >> Form, then you will see the form surround (the dashed or dotted line around the Submit and Rest buttons.

Now hit Enter a couple times to make some working room.

For a basic heads up about FrontPage forms, stop by my site.

If you wish, you could now open this page back up and copy the fields. To make sure there are no unnecessary tags elsewhere, just right click each field one at a time and copy and paste into the new form.

If you wish to use the FrontPage form handler to send to email and file, check/tic Send to: This is where you set email and optional file.

Hi Greg,

Welcome to OutFront

First I recommend in the future, starting your own new thread to ask a question.

This is an old thread and some might overlook this question.

Providing a URL for the form page would be a good next step.

Since you are already participating in this thread, post the URL for the "form page" here.

The published page tells more than the HTML itself.

You currently have Join Our Mailing List - as Subject line and you have Form field name selected. This isn't a form field name.

You have used the same process for Reply-to-line This isn't a form field name either.

Since I can't see the published page at this time, I don't know if this is the extent of the trouble, but it is enough in itself to prevent the form from working properly.

Also, if you take a look at the form in page view, you will notice a dashed or dotted line around the Submit button. This is the form surround. Any field outside of this isn't part of a form function.

Both of your fields are outside of the form, so there is nothing to submit even if it were working.
