When entering a name(usermane field)into the page..http://www.canyousell.net.cnchost.com/namesend2.htm and submit the page, I get an automatic confirmation page, instead of being redirected to this page..http://www.canyousell.net.cnchost.com/namereceive2.htm where the username entered should appear.

This is the URL I entered in the form properties.

When I press the click here to enter button I only get the default confirmation page.

What am I doing wrong? I appreciate your feedback.

Thank you

Herman

I tried going to the URL that you posted and got a 404/not found.

You might want to check the forms confirmation page setting. You can do this by going to the page in "normal view". Right click on the form, choose form properties. Then click on options. Then click on the tab that says "confirmation page". There will be an option for "URL of confirmtation page". Just browse to the page that you want the form to go to after hitting the submit button.

Hope this helps,

Take a look at the source code on the published form page to make sure this is set to send to your confirmation page. If it's not, edit live.

You might try recalculating hyperlinks. (?)
It can't hurt.

I don;t know why you can't access the site (I can). Also the I have inserted the exact URL on my form for the confirmation page but still only get the default conf page.

I checked the source code URL and it is exact also.

Other ideas?

Thank you

Got to it this time. I am stumped. I viewed your source cosde and it is not going to the page you specified.

This is not great advice but when I get to this point myself I start over with a blank page.

I used JS to get jump to the next page but still can't get the name inserted to next page.

Is their a Javascript that I can use to have the name automatically inserted to next page (like the confirmation form)? If so how would I insert it so it won't conflict with the JS I already have?

Thanks a bunch!

Could I amend the JS I have to make it work along with the pop up page?

Thank you

I'd try a basic sample form on another page and see if you can get it to go to the custom confirmation page. If that doesn't work, contact your host and see if there's something on their end.

Finally got it to work! Whew!! I don't know what I did that was different but it was the right advice. Built up a couple of test pages

http://www.canyousell.net.cnchost.com/test.htm with all the pop ups which my friend wanted (though I hate them)and everything works together.

Another question:
What is the best way for 2 people to work on a site who both have FP2000?

Because when he makes changes, it messes up the code and viceversa. I now make duplicates of the original pages, so that I can add his changes without him messing with my code - my 2 cents!

Thanks again
Warm Regards

Since the basic form will work on another page, I'd recreate your form here (you can use the wizard and copy/paste), test, then "save as" to overwrite the page that's giving you fits.
