Forms Problem - 7/1/2005 15:35:12
The following text shows up on my published form:[FrontPage Save Results Component]
It was working fine (text above was hidden) the last few times I published the site so I guess I messed something up.
You can check out the exact page at:
http://www.austineds.com/Membership%20Application.htm
I actually asked about this before with another site I was working on www.halfknots.com and ya'll referred me back to my Host, which seems logical but it was pointless...they sent me a form letter three days later that wasn't helpful and then asked "was this reply helpful"!!  BUT you guys are awesome and if you know how I might be able to take the bull by the horns on this one...that would be awesome.

usually they have to reinstall the extensions - happens a lot if you update via ftp instead of using FP's "publish" function.

Hi Sara,
Your form properties look ok to me and from the looks of the source, the extensions seem to be there in some capacity.
Just curious. You are sending to formrslt.htm in the _private folder. Did you create this page and place it there? If not, then you would need to do so. If it is in place, try changing the file format to see if this makes a difference, for instance something like Formatted text within HTML.
Maybe try sending to a simple text file (Formatted text) If you might be able to browse to one in the _private folder.

RE: Forms Problem - 7/8/2005 17:47:38
It is still there! When I finally sent a frustrated e-mail to them...My host sent me this e-mail response:
"We went ahead and reinstalled the extenstions on your end from your cpanel login, and server side. From your cPanel login, you have the Frontpage extenstion option, and can reinstall them at will. If the problem has not been resolved, please send us a screenshot of your connection settings from the Frontpage program."
It is still there after republishing after getting this message:
Do you know what she would be referring to by the connection settings in FrontPage."
Thank you Kindly!

I have created a form in Frontpage. The form emails fine through everything except through AOL - when the message comes up to send, it is blank. Any ideas?

SuperGravi,
My first suggestion would be to start your own post rather than joining this one with a question. With a new post, more people will see your question. As to AOL mail, it isn't compatible with formmail. You can forward formmail to AOL mail, but don't use it as a destination.
Sara,
It still looks like the extensions are there. Try sending to a .txt file in _private to see if this makes a difference. Set this for Formatted Text.

If you don't have a text file in _private, open a blank Notepad, do a Save As, name it something like form_results (no spaces) then use browse to direct the save to the _private folder in this web.
The idea of saving a file to _private is to have a backup for the email results. In order to view these results, you would need to open the site live and then open the _private folder.
Once you do this, republish via FrontPage "Publish Web" to http
This type of file is created to be stored in your web, not the site CP.

Well, since I didn't know forums like this existed when FrontPage was walloping me, I do things the long way sometimes.
I would open FP, go to File >> Open. This will pull up the Open file screen. I then type the name of the site. http://widgets.com in the textbox normally reserved for the name of the page you open.
It can take a while for this to open, so be patient. Then you should be able to click on the _private folder and subsequently the file in question.
Many users edit their site via this method. Some only use this method.
You can make additions to pages as well.
Be careful, however, because in order to keep the current version in your local file, you would then go to File >> Publish Web" and use Browse to locate your local web so you can publish down to it.

RE: Forms Problem - 7/18/2005 3:38:57
No problem!
You have a local site and a remote site. If you change the local site and republish, then the two are the same.
If you open the site live and make changes, then I feel it is best to publish down to file each time, to update your local web so it matches the remote web.
Otherwise, when you make changes on the local web, you might ovcerwrite changes you made with the live edit.
Maybe someone can give a clearer description of this. I am notoriously long winded and long worded.

I dont know about you but when Imake changes, there is a trial and error element to it -- triedthis..oops, that didnt work, lets try this etc etc until I get it correct. If you do this "live",a visitor could come to your sight and see the errors. therefore, I never, ever edit live. I edit locally until it is correct, then publish - that way both are in synch. FWIW

Dan,
I rarely use this option myself. I don't really recommend it either. Was just trying to explain myelf.
