Author Frontpage form doesn't go to thank you page
Manny Borges

2006-04-17, 6:40 pm

I have a frontpage form that will not switch to its specificed confirmation
page.

It only uses the default, ugly auto generated one.

This happens on all my dev systems, my production system and my seperate
unrelated in all ways, test system. The only common denominator is
Sharepoint portal server 2003 is installed on all the systems.

Has anyone else experienced this?
The problem appears to be with the shtml.dll file.

Make sure when you browse to the custom page to select it in form properties, that you don't
go outside of the web.

If you switch to code view and look at the web bot code the path to the confirmation page
should simply be the file name like this:
u-confirmation-url="pagename.htm"

All the paths are are relative and in the same web.
I have used this manty times in the past on standard IIS systems with FP
extensions.

I am going to tentatively determine that SharePoint breaks this
functionality.

My workaround is to use an external PERL form processor script to send the
email and redirect the user to a thank you page. I have tested and seen that
other form items that depend on the extensions(like field validation) still
work fine in this hybrid mutt setup.

Can anyone who has access to a sharepoint portal server confirm this
behavior?
