433092 2006-02-23 01:09:00 Hi there.

Im having problems getting to the properties section on a Form page ive made up.

By default at the current locaton ourpage.co.nz it works fine, but when I use MS FPage or DWeaver to alter the default address, it falls over. Im using DiscountDomains as the host provider.

Ive been told to look for form Method="post" action = " but I cant find where to do this in either program.

Any ideas?

For what its worth, ive been told not to use Frontpage as its not supported by DDomains.

Thanks

433093 2006-02-23 03:31:00 It looks like your htm file is processed by a perl program called ddmail.pl in the directory /cgi-ddourpagec000.

form method="post" action="/cgi-ddourpagec000/ddmail.pl"

Changing the action to an absolute path will not necessarily work: action=" ourpage.co.nz

There are too many reasons why this would fail to go into here, but you can always try it.

DreamWeaver / Frontpage / whatever shouldn't have a problem though.

Thanks again.... :-)
