Need to get a form working

[Chroelle]

This form is generated by Frontpage, but it seems I cannot get it to work.

It is a job for a customer so it is rather annoying that I cannot get it to work easily.

When you submit then it takes you to a weird place...

This line tells where the sent info is going, and to what page you'll be redirected:

Code: Select all

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="_derived/nortbots.htm" name="Bestilling" onSubmit="location.href='_derived/nortbots.htm';return false;" webbot-onSubmit webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">

Especially the action and onSubmit attributes.
In default form the action tells where to send the data, and where to redirect the browser. (Usually to some page which can take the sent information and handle it, some scripting (php, jave, CGI...) needs to be used, pure HTML does not really cope with it.

onSubmit allows person to do some data validation check. You can specify a script which can cancel the submission if incorrect data is sent. I have never used that myself. (Actually I did not even know it is part of the html standard O_o )

Thanks a bunch. I found another solution this afternoon though. Feel kinda bad I didn't tell in here before you attacked this.
