I have a dodgey client whos hosting company has frontpage extensions installed.
I don't have frontpage but want to know the tags to create a frontpage form-to-email. Can't find them on the net anywhere.
Need a redirect on submit also.

the redirect on submit is the same - its just a meta redirect.
as for the form to email - i beleive its the same as regular.
i had to use front page a while ago and i looked at my forms and there is nothing special.hope it helps

I don't see why some normal CGI mail form will not work in FrontPage or with FP extensions, what do you mean?

OK, I'll try be clearer...
What is the form "action" to initiate a frontpage extension to email a form to a user. What are the tags to select recipients email address, redirect page, etc.
I know it's something like
action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" , etc. I don't have frontpage to find out the other parameters.

just cause it's there doesn't mean you need to use the front page method of sending mail.... do they not have php or asp installed on their site? Should be simple to make a mailto form if they do.

All they have on the hosting site is frontpage extensions, no perl cgi, no php, nuttin... like I said it's dodgey. One of those $5 a month gigs.

well, it's been seriously like 5 years since I've used front page, but if I remember right, you have to have front page to create that stuff and get it to work. Like actually do the "publish" function from front page, and then it makes changes to support files that front page uses... FP is a complicated mess that way, that's why people who know anything don't let it touch their code/website. You're best bet would be to get a copy of front page, or try a third party form redirection service... if they're on a ghetto hosting plan, they should expect a ghetto setup on pretty much anything they try to do aside from static text and images.
