| I just took over as webmaster of a web page and am having problems getting my
Form to work. The site was built and maintained using FrontPage but I am using
Dreamweaver to update and maintain it now. I have almost zero knowledge of
server side operations and am pretty new to the web design area. Here is my
problem...
I created a form in Dreamweaver with dropdown boxes, text fields, check boxes,
ect and need the information provided by the visitor to be appended into an
HTML file on the server. I read that Dreamveaver requires you to provide your
own script to process the form. Where do get this script? Where exactly do I
put this script once I get it? How do I know if the hosting server supports the
script?
When I built a form using FrontPage with the Form Wizard, I didnt have to
worry about any script and I am not sure how to go about using one. However it
has been a problem lately with the server "loosing" the FrontPage extentions
and having to keep getting them to reinstall them. This is why I had hoped
Dreamweaver would make things easier by not having to constantly have to get
the FrontPage extentions installed to use Frontpage. Does Dreamweaver have any
extentions that have to be installed on the server to use it? Any help that
anyone can provide would be great. I am trying to learn as I go but many things
are not explained in very simple terms so I keep getting stuck. Thank you for
your time.
