Hi Jono,

Welcome to Webmaster-Talk From one newbie to another.

Looks like you are building your form with FrontPage. Does your site have the FPSE (FrontPage Server Extensions)?

I ask, because you are using a mailto hyperlink rather than the FP form handler.

The FrontPage form is designed to utilize the extensions to deliver your results to email and optional file.

The difficulty with use of email hyperlink or email action is that it won't work with all email accounts. I am an AOL user and although I could receive results from some accounts, I could not send them to myself using AOL mail.

I realize this doesn't address the original q re: Mac vs PC, but if the extensions are available, you can set your form properties to work with them.

Even if you host doesn't have the extensions, but instead offers an optional form handler., still building with FP but directing to the other form handler.

hi amysticweb

yeah i did it in front page my original site old one was done in dreamweaver on mac my new one was done on pc with front page which i am new to dont quite understand html forms or how to configure them properly yes i'm with blueyonder using pwp as host they have fr pg extensions installed to get site to work correctly.

I dont know how to set form properties to work with fp extensions should i figure this out or would i be better off using asp or php which i dont anything about either but can learn quickly.

thanks for your reply

Hi Jono,

FrontPage forms aren't fancy and when you receive the results in email it isn't fancy. But if what you need is a basic form, and the extensions are properly set for formmail then FP should work for you.

I have tutorials on my site for building with the form wizard, custom forms, form properties ... all the basics. http://frontpageforms.com

To get things started, the FrontPage form relies on three primary ingredients when using the Send to: option for email and file. This applies to Guestbook, Search Form, Discussion Web etc.

1. The FPSE (FrontPage Server Extensions) must be enabled on the server.

2. You must publish with FrontPage to http location. Don't use FTP as this can break or corrupt the extensions.

3. Use of .htm or .html page extension.

Additionally, in order to send results to email, the SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) must be set up on the server to send form mail.
