Create a form submittable when in "treat as html" mode

Hi all,

I'm quite stumped here and hope someone can help.

I'm using Lotus Domino 6.5

Our website design required the strict html dtd but other websites hosted on the server required the Domino (6.5) default of the loose dtd.

Since Domino sets this value universally in version 6.5 we had to tell domino to treat our display forms as html.

This worked great - our website is online now ( )using the strict dtd.

However, I can't figure out how to make the contact form work.

When I try to create the form as normal, Domino tells me that because it is 'treat as html', it can't be opened for editing.

I tried creating a form with no formatting (and thus, using domino's default DTD and treated as 'notes' not 'html') , then copy / pasting the Domino generated html into my hand coded page but when I do so, I either get no response from clicking the submit button (if I leave Domino's javascript in there) or when i click submit, it takes me to the unformatted page without submitting (when I strip the html and create a true, basic 'submit' button).

Does this make any sense to anyone?

I hope so and I look forward to any response.

Thanks in advance,

David
