Forms and non-IE browsers - 7/3/2008 16:57:31   
FrontPage 2003 - Am having a problem submitting a completed form's data via email. Each form works perfectly and I receive a proper email - but only if using Internet Explorer. Firefox and Netscape both simply call up an empty email form when the submit button is pressed. Anyone else have this issue, or any ideas how to overcome the issue? Following is a link to one of the forms ...

Looking at your code I see the following:

<a href="mailto:domcaeruleus@stmdovernh.org?subject=Baptism Request"><INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Submit Form" name="Baptism_Form"><span style="text-decoration: none">    


There is a mailto hyperlink immediately before the Submit button. IE appears to ignore this, possibly because it knows it's in the middle of a FP web bot, but Firefox and the other browsers will see it and act on it, opening up your mail client.

I never use FP forms so don't know what effect this will have but give it a go, save your existing page first.

Delete the bit of code I have shown BOLD. Make sure you only remove that bit, including the < and >. You'll need to use the code tab, you won't see it in design view.

Test it out in both browsers and see what happens.

Thanks for the reply. Tested it with Netscape but no change - still pops up a blank email form. I changed it back and republished the file so it's the way it was. I'll investigate your theory - maybe there's some code earlier on messing things up.
