Getting form to work in Include page
I am using FP2000 and my site uses includes. I can set up a form in the include but it isn't sending letters.
I have a standard Contact.htm page and it works fine.
What am I missing?

Looks fine - what does the "browser generated html of the form" look like once it's in the container page?
ASKER
Here is the source html from a container page. Of course there is scripting happening on these pages before the body tag
<p align="center">Sign up here to receive tips, tricks,
downloads and other neat info.<form method="POST" name="Send me tips tricks and neat stuff" action="index.asp" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SE

Two action tags there - the webbot submit action and the asp page one... the asp action has to go if you want to use FP's email generation.

I have no idea where this is coming from to get rid of it???
...because you can't use the FP email form and asp pages at the same time...
>>I have no idea where this is coming from to get rid of it???
It's not an asp page?

Sorry - hope I didn't say something wrong...
I see this as the form tag in the browser:
<form method="POST" name="Send me tips tricks and neat stuff" action="_vti_bin/shtml.dll
<input TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP" VALUE="1"><p align="center">
<input type="text" name="T1" size="20" id="fp1"><label for="fp1">
Enter e-mail address</label></p>
<p align="center">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
</form>
I don't see the index.asp, but also don't see any of the original form components...

Sean...I stand corrected. Works on all pages except index. Some reason it is looking at this like it is index.asp?
>>Here is what the e-mail looks like when I get it back from the ISP
Confused :-(
So you are getting the emails? Or is that from when it's not included...

Cross-posting - hold on and let me look through again...
Well index is an asp page...
So there's no way that form will work...
Just to confirm - when you have that form on an email page, it will automaticallyt change the action to the name of the page - thus removing the FP webbot action that generates the email - so that's why it's not working :-(
>>Just to confirm - when you have that form on an email page
What I meant to say was:
Just to confirm - when you have that form on an "asp" page

Sean-No way...I just taking you to the source :-)~
Here is what I found. All other pages work fine. Index page doesn't work. I am publishing to ISP as "index.html". I have no clue why index.asp works or why I am being redirected to index.asp.

That is bizzare. Let me look at the site again.

Site's not responding - I'll check back in a bit...
hmmm - maybe you better send the login stuff again so I can open in FP...

Sean...index page must be ".html" and not ".htm"?

By George.....I got it!
Been wanting to do that.
Here was the problem: I was working locally and saving/moving to local web folder and publishing to ISP. I didn't bother to think that I needed to go to ISP web folder and move/delete from there as well. Somewhere along the way I had made an index.asp page and it was still there.
Also for some reason my local navigation structure was showing another page as the home page. Cut/paste and I tok care of that as well.
It really is alot better organized than the other site I had you look at. Anyways...all is working now.
I love this site. I love the people that take the time to respond and their patience.
That was directed at you!
