Forms - They will not submit the info - Can some

28/08/2008, 18h37

I have a form that was orginally created in Frontpage and I had to transfer my
site over into DreamWeaver because our servers would not support the FrontPage
extensions. The form began to give me Front page errors, so I recreated the
form itself directly in DreamWeaver. I have put in the "mail to" action, but
my form comes directly up to my email address when I test the form and there is
no information listed from the form itself. I am currently testing it on a
Test site, but the FrontPage version of this form worked correclty, it gave me
an email w/all of the information that was gathered and I was also able to tell
it to send it to an Excel file for sorting. Is there a simpler way in
DreamWeaver to submit the forms, if so I am missing something and can you tell
it to send to another file like a database or spreadsheet? I have searched the
web and can not find the exact I need, hopefully someone here will be able
to.

Post a link to the page, please.

I did change the items you listed. However, I did have to keep the Webot stuff
in the large block of code to be able to gather all the data. I can do the
mailto and get it to come up to my email, but I think the submit I did was
wrong, so I corrected it w/yours. However, for future form reference, using
the mail to should have gathered the information without me having to keep the
large block of code??? I am a little confused on this. Frontpage apparently
did all of this part for me and Dreamweaver is a little fuzzy on it. If I
created another form and needed to gather the info, would I need more than the
"Mailto" code?

Thanks!

I am having the same problem. Forms originally done in FrontPage and I am
working in Dreamweaver 8. The "form action=" is linked to
_derived/nortbots.htm" method="post" > and this page is an error message page.
The next paragraph of code is:

<input type="hidden" name="VTI-GROUP2" value="0" />


No matter what I try, I just get the error page that is the nortbots.htm

I have tried to link it to another file in the _private folder:
form_results.csv or
form_results.txt or
nav_htm.cnt

and I just get an error message. I have spent days on this. Please !

17/09/2008, 00h28

What you are missing is that the action of the form would need to be a
SCRIPTED processing routine. In the case of your FP action, the form's data
is being posted to this "_derived/nortbots.htm" page which is somehow using
the rest of the gobbledy gook in the webbot comment to process and send the
form. All of this is mediated through the mysterious action of FP's "Server
Extensions", another proprietary link in the chain.

FP was unique in the universe for using such a method for processing forms.

With DW, and with any other HTML authoring system, there are only two ways
to process form data -

1. Use mailto:name@example.com as the action of the form
2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the form's data, b)
process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c) formulate and
send an email to one or more email recipients, and d) redirect the visitor
to some ending page

Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It depends both
on your visitor having an email client already installed on their computer -
this eliminates public computers, or home users without email clients
installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed email client
responding to
the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and* send the
visitor to a
thank you page as well.

Method 2a is the preferred method, since it eliminates the problems of
method
1, but it means that you have to grapple with server-scripting somehow (ASP,
CF, PHP, perl, etc.).

Method 2b would be to use some third-party form processing, like
http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/.

You would have to decide which of these methods is best for your needs,
but if it's Method 2a, then start by asking your host what they provide for
form
processing. If it's 2b, then read their FAQ/instructions carefully.

I think that the form did all of the above:
a) harvest the form's data, b) process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into
a database, c) formulate and send an email to one or more email recipients, and
d) redirect the visitor to some ending page

Is that Bebosoft still the one to go with? Is there no where online that just
has the code I need?

17/09/2008, 01h41

I went to Bebo and there are different versions:
PHP, ASP and PERL. Which one would I want?

17/09/2008, 02h26

Which one is supported by your host? Ask them.

Google "form processing". You'll find hundreds. Are you ready to take on
this task, though?

Talked with my customer about the trouble I'm having and they told me to leave the forms off. They are not being used very much at all. So WHEW I think I can pass on this one.

Thanks so much!

Diana C Messages: n/a Hébergeur:	Forms - They will not submit the info - Can some I have a form that was orginally created in Frontpage and I had to transfer my site over into DreamWeaver because our servers would not support the FrontPage extensions. The form began to give me Front page errors, so I recreated the form itself directly in DreamWeaver. I have put in the "mail to" action, but my form comes directly up to my email address when I test the form and there is no information listed from the form itself. I am currently testing it on a Test site, but the FrontPage version of this form worked correclty, it gave me an email w/all of the information that was gathered and I was also able to tell it to send it to an Excel file for sorting. Is there a simpler way in DreamWeaver to submit the forms, if so I am missing something and can you tell it to send to another file like a database or spreadsheet? I have searched the web and can not find the exact I need, hopefully someone here will be able to.

Diana C Messages: n/a Hébergeur:	Re: Forms - They will not submit the info - Can some I did change the items you listed. However, I did have to keep the Webot stuff in the large block of code to be able to gather all the data. I can do the mailto and get it to come up to my email, but I think the submit I did was wrong, so I corrected it w/yours. However, for future form reference, using the mail to should have gathered the information without me having to keep the large block of code??? I am a little confused on this. Frontpage apparently did all of this part for me and Dreamweaver is a little fuzzy on it. If I created another form and needed to gather the info, would I need more than the "Mailto" code? Thanks!

Murray ACE Messages: n/a Hébergeur:	Re: Forms - They will not submit the info - Can some What you are missing is that the action of the form would need to be a SCRIPTED processing routine. In the case of your FP action, the form's data is being posted to this "_derived/nortbots.htm" page which is somehow using the rest of the gobbledy gook in the webbot comment to process and send the form. All of this is mediated through the mysterious action of FP's "Server Extensions", another proprietary link in the chain. FP was unique in the universe for using such a method for processing forms. With DW, and with any other HTML authoring system, there are only two ways to process form data - 1. Use mailto:name@example.com as the action of the form 2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the form's data, b) process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c) formulate and send an email to one or more email recipients, and d) redirect the visitor to some ending page Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It depends both on your visitor having an email client already installed on their computer - this eliminates public computers, or home users without email clients installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed email client responding to the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method and send the visitor to a thank you page as well. Method 2a is the preferred method, since it eliminates the problems of method 1, but it means that you have to grapple with server-scripting somehow (ASP, CF, PHP, perl, etc.). Method 2b would be to use some third-party form processing, like http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/. You would have to decide which of these methods is best for your needs, but if it's Method 2a, then start by asking your host what they provide for form processing. If it's 2b, then read their FAQ/instructions carefully. -- Murray --- ICQ 71997575 Adobe Community Expert (If you MUST email me, don't LAUGH when you do so!) ================== http://www.projectseven.com/go - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.dwfaq.com - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources ================== "galen1artist" <webforumsuser@macromedia.com> wrote in message news:gapahd$lin$1@forums.macromedia.com... >I am having the same problem.
