My web hosting company doesn't support FP extensions at this time.
What is the html code for making a simple submit type form in FP2002? I
want 2
textboxes that submit or sends the results to an email. SO when a user puts
in information, the information is sent to an email which i specify. Does
anyone know the Html code to do this? If so, where is the code placed in the
webpage? I know my web hosting company DOES NOT support CDONT and ASP.

What technologies does your host support? Perl/CGI, PHP, JSP? Are you
allowed to use your own server-side scripts?
Have you asked your host (or searched their website) what forms to email
service they may have on offer?

You can build your form using the FrontPage components and wizards, but
until the above technology question is answered, no-one can tell you how to
make it work.

Yea, server side scripts will work, but only PHP, Perl/CGI. Yes, i can use
my own server side scripts. I haven't asked my hosts anything.
www.hostcolor.com.......not very good.

Do a Google search for PERL or php formmail scripts. You will need some
knowledge of PERL or php to configure the script, unless the documentation
is very good.

The documentation should also describe how to set up the form.
