HELP!! My website has a feedback form on it but when i go to test it by hitting SUBMIT, it goes to a page that says PAGE NOT FOUND.
I tried it by form properties being set to email addy and to a data server...neither worked. Am i skipping a step? The website was designed in Publisher (cuz I don't know html) and is hosted on geocities.
Pls take a look at it.

and let me know what to do....thanks :)Ally

You never said if the form works otherwise, namely that you do receive the sender's feedback?
I don't use FrontPage because it is so messy, as your form shows. However, based on what I use, I would say this is the offending line:
< b:FCOSubmitUrl priv="1818">http://example.microsoft.com/~user/ispscript.cgi</b:FCOSubmitUrl >This says to me that you are trying to either send the user there after submission which isn't physically possible, or trying to use that script at Geocities which is against Yahoo rules (no external scripts allowed) so they are blocking it.
A tip for you also. Your form code is much too long. Get all that font styling out of the page and into a separate CSS file, then create a meta tag in the head of the page referencing that file. I won't explain how that is done, there are plenty of tutorial sites around if you search Google.
Also, I know some Windows fonts look neat, but not every browser or platform supports them. Personal choice as it's your site, but I restrict myself to a family which includes three or four similar fonts, so anyone will pick up at least one which works on their machine. That's the whole purpose of the font-family attribute, that you offer more than one font of similar style.
Example, someone using Unix or Linux instead of Windows won't see the Garamond, Tw Cen MT Condensed Extra Bold or Copperplate Gothic Bold fonts as they don't exist on that platform, so what alternative did you provide for them? Answer is none, so it defaults to their browser's base font which may be quite different to those and change the whole appearance of the page.
To see what that means, check out the base font for Netscape and then for IE and see how one uses a serif while the other uses a sans-serif, which not only are different in appearance but also in size.

Well if you made your form in front page there is your problem. Geocities doesn't support front page.

Good catch! Since I never use FP I hadn't considered they won't support it. Incidentally, why not use the form option provided by Geo themselves? You can soon edit that in a text editor, and if you choose form version two which already has side-by-side radio button samples, learning how to manipulate the HTML to what you want isn't going to be that hard.

I just know that Geocities won't support it because I tried to make a website there before and I found out they don't support it. I had to move 3 websites because Tripod used to support Front Page but now they want you to use the "upgraded" version that costs $4.95 a month to get Front Page support. So I just moved all my sites to Netfirms who still supports it. There are many out there that still do. But I know that Geocities and Bravenet are two that don't.
