Author Front Page Forms and .SHTM files

Hi

Can anyone confirm if the FP forms works in files
with .shtm extensions please?

On a sub-web, I have a .shtm file with a FP form which
when I hit the "submit" button, the page gets cleared and
re-displayed. It should go to a confirmation page, e-mail
me the results and also update a results file. This
doesn't happen.

To prove that the server is configured correctly, on the
same sub-web, I created a simple form in a .htm file which
should go to a confirmation page, e-mail me the results
and update the results file - when I run this I get the
correct behaviour.

Any ideas?

Thanks in anticipation.

Martha

If want to use the FP Form Handler, your form and confirmation pages must be named with either .htm
or .html file extension.
