• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

This is the code in your feedback page...

<form method="POST" action="_vti_bin/shtml.exe/feedback.htm" onSubmit="" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">

I tried a couple of submissions, firstly, your form allows someone to send the form without completing all of the fields...a little JavaScript could sort that out. Your POST should be to a script that has the details of the EMAIL address (yours) to send the submitted form to. I'm not up on SHTML, as my forms use PHP, so can you provide a copy of the target code?

I used MS Frontpage to set it up. The only fields I required were email and name (or less).

My area of speciality is counseling science, so I know next to nothing about setting up webpages. I was a real stretch for me to do this.

What is the target code and where would I find it? Should I keep it private and pm it to you?

When you make a simple form up in HTML it goes something like this...

<form method="post" action="target_file.???">
<input type="text" value="enter your name here.." name="uname" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>

...when you press submit, then the values in your input fields (uname for example) are passed to the target code or script to handle the form, which then in turn sends the form data to your email address. Normally the email address is in the target code, which in your case, looks like feedback.html.

I'm not up on MS Frontpage, but I had quick peek on the net and found this:

webbot bot="SaveResults"
U-File="_private/form_results.csv"
S-Format="TEXT/CSV" S-Label-Fields="TRUE"
B-Reverse-Chronology="FALSE"
S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE"
S-Email-Address="test@test.com"
B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE"
S-Builtin-Fields
U-Confirmation-Url="index.htm"

...which appears to be the FrontPage setup fields associated with the process you mentioned regarding providing your email address. From what I can see this information should be in your target file, which is...

action="_vti_bin/shtml.exe/feedback.htm"

...I've had a look at this file for you, and the these fields seem to be missing, which could be the problem...

S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE"
S-Email-Address="test@test.com"

If that's correct then either manually edit in these fields, or go through the MS FrontPage process again to see what may have happened.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
