crushed01 -> Frontpage questbook name field (5/4/2008 16:38:08)

Hey there.
first of all I would like to say that frontpagewebmaster.com has helped me with my frontpage website a LOT!!!!Thanks to you all!!

now for my question.
I have the standard frontpage guestbook on my website (http://www.stormzone.nl) and now I would like to ad an extra (name) field into the page so that people have to type their name if they want to leave a comment!!!!!
Help Please

Bernard

OK, your problem is, when you set the Guestbook up you let it default, you should have specified the fields you wanted it to ask for. I've posted instructions below to set up a book from scratch. Modifying your existing one may be awkward depending on how much HTML you understand.


Adding a Guestbook.

Under the "File" menu, click "New" in the FrontPage Editor.

Scroll down the list and select "Guestbook" Click "OK"

A new page will appear in your FrontPage editor window. Add data fields to it using the "Form Field" option under the "Insert" menu.

Save the Page into your FrontPage web

Adding fields to your existing form should be possible by the same method but, the comments you have in there so far have been posted into a file called guestlog.htm. If you modify the form then you need to add those fields to the log file as well as I'm not sure how it will display if you don't. I've never used the Guestbook bot so can't tell you if it'll implode or not.

You could try it and if it doesn't work, set up a new one from scratch.
