Author Form Mail Not Working

I created a form on my computer with FP2000. I do not
have the server extensions installed.

I've uploaded my web page the my host that has FP
extensions with many customers already using the FP
forms/email. My form is located here:
http://www.tennisprotips.com/askapro.html

When I submit the form, it redirects the next form
properly, however, no email gets sent? Is there something
wrong with the form? What else could it be?

Thanks,
Gene Miller

Make sure that your host has enabled the email features of the extensions.
The server extensions need some extra information in addition to the general
setup in order to handle email (basically they just need to know what SMTP
server to use to send it to). Sometimes a host misses this one.

Hope this helps,

Do I have to first install the extensions on my local box
before uploading to my host? Do I have to setup IIS or a
personal web server?

Your form is not being sent to the FP Forms handler, but to a PERL script
<FORM ACTION="/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/tennisprotips.com/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl" METHOD=POST>
- contact your host or script provider for help w/ that script

ACTION="/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/tennisprotips.com/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl"
should be
ACTION="http://www.tennisprotips.com/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl"

The action is a web address, not a file location.

OT - the hover buttons you use for navigation are invisible on my system.
I, and many others using Windows XP and/or IE6, do not have a Java Virtual
Machine installed.
