gold02 -> Building a Frontpage Website Assistance Required (3/11/2008 0:46:09)
Hello, As briefly indicated, I am brand new to Frontpage and have attempted building a website only to find plenty of issues that I have not been able to overcome. I'll explain how I got to where I am thus far: I'll begin by saying that I have been using Frontpage 2000 which is what I have on my computer (about 6 years old). I open FP and click on "new web" under file menu. Once a blank screen opens, I then click "new page". From there I click on "Form Page Wizard" which I found was the only page guide that provided survey question options. Sorry, I didn't mention that I am trying to build a multi-page (multi-quetion) survey within a single website. From there, I would develop 1 question per page and save each page really not knowing where that question/page would be saved to. With each page I tried to build links that had 2 options - either advance to next question or Home. I didn't seem to have any success here as well. Believe me, I tried to follow the "Help" tutorials to no avail. I tried to develop a background template by following said tutorial and just didn't have any success. Upon completion of all of these pages/questions, I discussed publishing the website with various Go Daddy reps (who is providing both the hosting domain as well as the url for this survey). He had my go to the FTP client to publish the site and when I transferred all of the pages/questions over only the Home page published which is up on my site right now at arnoldsurvey.info Having said all of this, I'm looking for some step-by-step guidance that will help me build a multi-page (one question per page) survey within a website so that I can have my friends and family members click on the url and go through the survey. Oh yes, I'd love for the frontpage website to tabulate results for me on the backend. I clicked "send results to me in a textfile" radio button as part of the "Form Page Wizard" process but, of course, have no idea if that will provide what I'm looking for. Please help (if there is help for me ;-) Thanks very much. Rob

ERK! If you're trying to do a survey, FP forms really is the most complicated way you could go. They're really for a response form that sits on one page on your site. You'd be better off Googling for survey software or a hosted survey service that you can plug into your site.

To me the part of what you are trying to do that does not seem like the best way to go is the one question per page. If you did use the form but just made a list of the questions with a check box beside each then you would have one form to tabulate. The way you want to do it would seem to me that you would be wading through a lot of respones for each series of questions. Does it really need to be one question per page?

And to add more, if you are relying on FrontPage (server extensions) to process the forms, you need to publish them to your website (File - Publish - http://www.example.com). If you use FTP to upload a form that you intend on FPSE to handle, it is not going to work.
