Submitting Problem

What would be the point of having a form submit before anyone gets to fill
it out? Can you give use more details on what you're trying to do.
 
What will the form be submitting (what type of information)? Is it
something a user fills in (although it doesn't sound like it).

I suppose somehow it could be done with an "onload" javascript
command....not sure how to write it.
There's nothing "built in" to FP to do this, since the original intention of
forms was to have a button that the user clicks to submit the form data.
 
This is a multi layer form passed through 2 pages. The user fills the form in
on the first page ad submits it. It then emails the results to myself and
passes it through to another page where it is submitted automatically,
supposedly. This is where is stalls.

Are you trying to get the form to automatically submit to PayPal with all
the information sent over? The FrontPage Forms handler won't "pass"
information to PayPal. You'll need a different form handler or need to use
server-side scripting, such as ASP. With the server side scripts you
wouldn't need an auto submit. After the user filled in the first form and
hit submit you would use scripts to email the results and sent the
information to PayPal. Information on how to do this is on the PayPal site
under the merchant tools
 
Thanks for your reply David but have just done it.
I used javascript to auto submit the form.
Frontpage ia passing the information to paypal.
Fill the form in and take a look.

Once again Thanks for your help, its appreciated
 
I've changed the parameters in it now, also have put it in a different
directory. My Inbox was filling up fast. I have tried it from a different PC
and it workd fine.

The reason for all the messing was the 1st page sends me a confirmation
email of a booking with all the dates and details.

The second page sends PayPal all the information they need.
 
Yah but it was cool

:-)
