Here goes.. I designed I designed a form in FrontPage. Tried to make it submit to my email address. Got an error.. frontpage extentions not installed. Of course they really ARE installed, even re-installed them. Anyway, went to my website, filled out the form and got. Thank you you have submitted blah blah blah.. Okay, so where the hell did it submit it to!?! Any ideas?

Hi,

A couple of ideas...

* Make sure you are publishing to your web site using HTTP publishing (File menu... Publish Site... publish to http://yourdomain.com (substitute your domain name, don't use www) Do not use FTP transfer when the FrontPage extensions are enabled.

* Make sure FrontPage knows the extensions are installed (Tools... Page Options... Authoring... Default).

* Make sure the form properties are set to email the results (right-click on the form... Properties... Email address...)

Hope any of this helps!

Note: The form may not work for browsers with JavaScript disabled or for WebTV users.

Note: the wording may be slightly different depending on the version of FrontPage you are using.

Search the Microsoft KB for error messages:

Microsoft groups have additional FrontPage assistance:

Okay, was using FTP, so tried it the other way. When I goto remote website proerties, a dialog box pops up with 4 options. The only one that doesn't say "cannot connect to server" is the FTP, thats why I used it.
Any ideas?
