Submitting Forms

[Josh]

I followed the directions for creating a web form in
publisher. When I click submit it says The page cannot
be displayed and the url at the top tries to go here
index_files\--WEBBOT-SELF--
I tried making a page and having it submit to a page on
the server and then I tried having it submit to my e-mail
and the same problem arose.

I am aware that you need to use FP extensions but is there
a way to do it without this component. The server I am
using has CGI Script components, is it compatible with
this?

If you know what you are doing.
First you go to the form properties and change the processing option to "use
my ISP's program"
and enter the URL of said program (CGI).
Then you need to make the appropriate code modifications in the CGI script.

I have a query and some output like this: <cfquery datasource='pb'
name='Distributors'> SELECT DISTINCT CUSN79, DSEQ79, CNAM79 FROM Prices ORDER
BY CNAM79 </cfquery> <CFOUTPUT QUERY='Distributors'> <table cellpadding='2'
cellspacing='2' width='425'> <form name='#Trim(CUSN79)#' method='POST'
action='RunBook.cfm' target='_blank' > <INPUT type='Hidden' name='BookParts'
value='Core'> <tr> <td><font face='Arial'
size='-1'><strong>#CNAM79#-#Trim(CUSN79)##Trim(DSEQ79)#</strong></font></td>
<td><SELECT NAME='CUSN79'><OPTION
VALUE='#Trim(CUSN79)##Trim(DSEQ79)#'>#CUSN79#</SELECT><INPUT TYPE='submit'
VALUE='Go'></td> </tr> </form> </table> </CFOUTPUT> So there are 'Go' buttons
next to each CNAM79 (Customer). When the 'Go' button is pressed the form is
submitted and a new page is opened (_blank). This works great! But I dont want
to have to go down the list and press 'Go' over and over I want to Press one
button and it submits it over and over opening a new window for each form.
Note: the next page creates a file based in the form criteria; and needs to
execute individually. How can I loop through this without Pressing a button?
Thanks for looking George Smith

Hi all

I am not new to Dreamweaver but I am new at knowing how to script the .pl
forms so that people can submit their enquiries from our site.

We already have a working one, but I am creating a new section and want to use
different text.

I have been able to copy the original so that they can input their details and
add comments but once you press submit it comes up with invalid email address,
even though the one I have put in is a valid, in use address!
If you goto [url]http://www.dmcplc.co.uk/products/additiona...estnewpages.htm[/url] you
can see what I have been trying to do.

What I am trying to do is have a product page with the form they need to fill
in one one page because at the moment on our site you look at a product then
click on a .gif to link to the index page. Once filled in they press submit
then the Thankyou for submitting your enquiry page comes up. The form is then
emailed to us.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
