    Contact Form isn't working

    Recently i changed from using frontpage to upload my site to FTP. This could be realted to the issue i will now explain.

    On my contact us page once details are submitted a 404 errors appears for:http://www.igames.org.uk/_derived/nortbots.htm
    This never happened before.
    The contact page is http://www.igames.org.uk/contact%20us.htm

    Re: Contact Form isn't working

    what did u shift to??? As far as I know, Frontpage auto generates the php code for submission of form..

    Did u try installing the frontpage extension in ur cpanel site (try install and reinstall)!!

    I use to have these problems every now and then in Frontpage...use Dreamweaver or microsoft expression

    is microsoft expression any good in terms of being easy to use and flexible with design?
    I might download the trial for that.

    The Contact form still doesn't workwith the same error. I believe it is something to do with using an ftp im just not sure what

    Re: Contact Form isn't working

    The contact form can't work as it is right now since the form is never submitted if the user has JavaScript enabled (the form's onsubmit event prevents submission and redirects to the nortbots page), and if JavaScript is disabled, the form submits to a page that isn't on your server (_derived/nortbots.htm) and would be incapable of processing the contact info if it was available since it is apparently a static HTML page, not a script (PHP, ASP/ASPX, PY, PL, etc.). The webbot-onsubmit event indicates that there should be a server-side substitution going on for the onsubmit event (the Frontpage extensions are probably supposed to do that, as well as parse and do something with the webbot-related comments), but that has apparently not happened. If you have installed the Frontpage extensions, you are probably going to have to re-upload the contact form (and probably the rest of the site) using the extensions in order to make it work properly. Or you could learn the little bit of PHP it would take to add the functionality and lose the dependence on Frontpage and FPX (which Microsoft has discontinued).
