FP2000: Incorrect Confirmation Page If Submission Contains Feedback (197402)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q197402 For a Microsoft FrontPage 98 version of this article, see 194054.
For a Microsoft FrontPage 97 version of this article, see 187248.
SYMPTOMS
If a confirmation page for a form submission contains a feedback form, the
confirmation page will not be displayed. The confirmation page for the
second form will appear in the Web browser rather than the confirmation
page for the first form. You will not receive any error message. If both
are configured to send the results in e-mail, two e-mail messages will be
generated. The first will contain the properly filled out information, and
the second will contain no information.
CAUSE
FrontPage allows the same data to be sent to multiple files or e-mail
recipients. It does this by stringing together one or more custom
confirmation pages that contain forms with the same field names. However, this feature does not allow you to fill out and submit a simple series of pages with different forms.
RESOLUTION
To submit a series of forms without generating intervening confirmation
pages, you can redirect the form. Note that redirection does not work if
your Web browser does not support it. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start FrontPage and follow these steps:
- On the File menu, point to New, and click Page.
- Click Normal Page, and click OK.
- On the File menu, click Save As.
- In the URL box, type redir1.htm and click OK.
- Insert a META tag by following these steps:
- On the File menu, click Properties, and then click the Custom
tab.
- In the System Variable section, click Add.
- In the Name box, type refresh. In
the Value box, type 0;url=[FormPageTwo.htm] where [FormPageTwo.htm] is the name of the second
page that contains a form. Click OK.
- On the File menu, click Save.
- Open the page that contains the first form.
- Right-click the form, and click Form Properties on the menu that
appears.
- Click Options.
- Click the Confirmation Page tab.
- In the URL Of Confirmation Page box, type redir1.htm.
- On the File menu, click Save.
NOTE: If you need to chain together a series of more than two forms, create
a separate redirection and place it between each form page, by using the
procedure described earlier in this article.
