Secure Order Form

I recently (August) upgraded my web site from FrontPage 98 to FP 2002. My
order form is on a secure server. Since upgrading I have problems publishing
changes to my order form. Something about the closing instruction that sends
the order information to me (/form) being up near the top and again at the
bottom of the page. My ISP told me to go into html view and remove the
(/form) near the top as it should only be at the bottom. But when I remove
and save, I watch it reappear automatically before I publish. Then when I
publish and run a test order, the "submit" button does not work to sent the
encrypted order information to me. I am losing orders over this.

Any suggestions why the (/form) reappears automatically? Each time I revise
the order form I have to have my ISP go in and remove it.

Thanks
Judith

I've only seen this in FP 2002 when there is invalid code at design time
(which can happen with dynamic pages).

I have never seen this with FrontPage 2003, but since you just upgraded to
2002, I guess you are a little stuck.

What you can do is surround your
<form>
all your code is in here.
</form> code with the following:

<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan -->
<form>
all of your code is in here.
</form>
<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan -->

But that will prevent you from editing in design view as well. That means
you should remove this code and make changes in design view, then remove the
extra </form> tag and put this webbot code back in and then save the page.

This is happening because FrontPage sees the element as being in the wrong
place, i.e. incorrect HTML code and it attempts to move it. Do you have a
URL we could look at to see where the tags are placed?
