page viewer web part form results page won't work |
|
|
We want to put a short form on the home page where the user enters about
three pieces of information and clicks Submit, with the results being sent
to an admin via e-mail. So I created a page called form1.htm in front page
that has the simple form. On the form properties, they are set to send via
e-mail and display a custom "thank you" confirmation page (which we also
created in frontpage and named thanks.htm). I then added a Page Viewer Web
Part to the home page and set it to display form1.htm. The form seems to
work properly and e-mail the results as intended, but it won't display the
custom confirmation page. Instead it displays the default confirmation page
that normally displays if you leave that field blank. It's the one that
says "Form Confirmation. Thank you for submitting the following
informaiton..."
Is there a way to make the confirmation page display, or perhaps another
solution? Perhaps the Page Viewer Web Part was not a good choice for this?

I have run into the same problem, and was not using the page viewer web
part. I couldn't get the form validation to display the custom
validation page either, only the default was displayed.

I think the problem is that the Page Viewer shows what everyone accessing
the page containing the Page Viewer web part sees.
The contents are not in any way by WSS connected with any particular user
(it isn't aware of who is logged in) and thus it shows the default page.

I don't know if that's the case because the default confirmation page that
it displays contains the data that the user entered. So it is a page that's
generated based on the user's input... it's just not the one I specify. I
wonder if this is a bug?

I have also been trying to find the resolution to this for some time.
When I use an HTML form created in FP with a custom confirmation page,
it always displays the system-generated confirmation page whether it's
in a page view or stand alone.
The only thing I can add is in the Site Summary Report in FrontPage, I
get this Component Error: "A FrontPage Save Results component contains
"ConfirmPageName.htm" as a confirmation or failure URL, but this page
is not present in the Web." I have tried putting the
ConfirmPageName.htm page in the root and in other folders and changed
the path in the form code, and still get the same error reported. The
correct path shows up in the form Webbot code:
U-Confirmation-Url="ConfirmPageName.htm"
Hope somebody has a clue about this! |

I've now also confirmed that this is a problem whether the page is viewed
through the page viewer web part or not.
I'm surprised there's not been any discussion on this. Is there anyone out
there using a form created in FP in WSS??? I'd think this would be fairly
common. If not, what are others of you using for collecting data via forms?
