I created a form using front page. I want this form to submit to an email after they hit the submit button. I followed everything on the tutorial and even used the Form Wizard in the program.

http://chicagoelections.com/survey.htm
is where the form resides.

I keep getting an error about some front page extension on the server. I have verified with the admin and it shows that we currently have FP server extension 2002 - the latest. Do I need some other type of script or something to make this button work? Do I need a submit function of some sort? This is driving me crazy any help would be appreciated. Someone Helpppppp!!!!!!!

here is the code:

as u may noticed in your form action there is "_derived/nortbots.htm"
this is the page that you send your data to which doesn't exitst. So what you need to do is create a page where you catch your data, and the easiest way to do this is using serverside such as coldfusion, asp, php, .net.... So do you have any of there available to you@!

I go ahead and started a new srvey which I created on the server. After I finish creating this page that _derived/norbots come in on its own. I do not know where the hell that came from. it just pops up automatically. I can remove it and when I put the page in the directory for the site it gets recreated all over again. I about to give up on this crappy server. When I create it on my desktop it put in a path for my computer. I think this program sucks..this front page

you need to change action of your script so where it says:
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="--WEBBOT-SELF--" onSubmit="location.href='_derived/nortbots.htm';return false;" webbot-onSubmit>
just do like this:
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="page.cfm" >
now you need create a page where you going to catch your data, (page.cfm) using serverside of your choice (coldfusion, asp, php..)
