Question

FrontPage Server Extensions Problem

Asked by: mdmcq5

I have a webpage hosted by GoDaddy.com and am having problems with two forms I have posted and receive the following error message when submitting:

FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that requires a web server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly.

This form or other FrontPage component will work correctly if you publish this web to a web server that has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed.

Click the <Back> arrow to return to the previous page.

When I log into my GoDaddy account and check my settings -> frontpage extensions - it states they are installed, yet I'm still receiving the error message.

Above the status of the Frontpage Extension Installation there is the following information:

Installing FrontPage Server Extensions on your hosting account will enable you to publish your Web site using Microsoft FrontPage. FrontPage Server Extensions also allow you to implement other FrontPage specific components like forms, counters, and discussion boards.

NOTE: If you do not install FrontPage Extensions, you must use FTP to publish your Web site content.

To add FrontPage Extensions to your account, click Install FrontPage Extensions.

To remove FrontPage Extensions from your account, click Uninstall FrontPage Extensions.

OK..blah blah blah.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the extensions and have used FTP to publish my web, by publishing through Frontpage 2003, even using WSFTP and using an FTP feature on the GoDaddy site, but the form is still not working.  Here is the coding section of my form:

<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" name="Webmaster Contact" onsubmit="location.href='_derived/nortbots.htm';return false;" webbot-onsubmit>
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" u-file="results/webmasterreq.txt" s-format="TEXT/TSV" s-label-fields="TRUE" b-reverse-chronology="FALSE" s-email-format="TEXT/PRE" s-email-address="webmaster@place.com" b-email-label-fields="TRUE" s-date-format="%d %b %Y" s-time-format="%H:%M:%S" s-builtin-fields="Date Time" b-email-subject-from-field="FALSE" s-email-subject="McKeough Builders Webmaster Contact" startspan u-confirmation-url="http://www.place.com/thankyou.htm" --><input TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP" VALUE="0"><!--webbot bot="SaveResults" endspan i-checksum="43374" -->
                  
<p><!--webbot bot="PurpleText" preview="The results of this form are stored in the file 'results/webmasterreq.txt' in your web. You can edit this file using FrontPage, or view and print it from any web browser." --></p>
                  
then i have some various questions and comment sections and end it with </form>

what am i doing wrong?

Also, is there a way to verify the extensions are really installed? for example if i enter my ftp://place.com/ would some extension be placed in there for me to see?
