i am using frontpage to create a site and i wanted to use a simple comments
post
i want the user to be able to type their message in a box and click the
submit button, then the message is sent to the end of a text file
the text file is also on the same page but in an IFRAME
 
Right click on the form and under the form options you can specify the text
file you want to send the results to
 
no i dont at the moment i am currently still in the design stage , but the
file i am working with is just a simple webpage with a form and two buttons
one resets the form the other is suppose to submit the info... i can set it
up so you can take a look if you would like?
 
Do you have FP server extensions installed on your design computer? The
forms require a server-based web with FP server extensions.

Are you seeing this in FrontPage code view, or in a browser?
In Code View, this is correct. When the page is saved or published it
will change, the change depends on the server it is saved/published to,
and how the page is published. Check in a browser.

to tell you the truth i dont know , lol but i would have thought that the
html code would sort that out
 
The Form isn't going to work correctly until you publish it to a server with
the FrontPage Server Extensions installed.
 
Is this a disk-based web (i.e. C:\webname) or a server-based web (i.e
http://localhost/webname)? This will only work on a server-based web. If
you're working locally and you're running Windows XP Pro then you can
publish your site to http://localhost/webname and then you should be able to
preview and test the form correctly.

Note: If you're running Windows XP Pro you may need to install the server
(IIS) first. You can do this through Control Panel, Add / Remove Programs,
Windows Components
