hey all,
using fp2002 (have to, company says so), and fp wants to &quot;help&quot; with the coding (still, grrrrrrrrrr). It's auto-inserting a closing form tag immediately after the opening form tag. anyone know how to turn off this special (read annoying) &quot;feature&quot;? If you delete it, it just re-inserts it for ya' (helping ya' don't cha' know) even though you have a </form> further down the page (which it, conveniently, ignores exists).
thanks
mark
 
I would throw this over in the Front Page forum.

Not to blow you off... I would answer if I knew (don't use it), but I bet you'd have a better chance of getting quick answer over there.

Frontpage inserts elements and not tags. This may be the source of your confusion. If you ask it to make a form for you, it inserts the whole block-element &quot;<FORM></FORM>&quot; just as it is supposed to.

At least that's the only way I can get FP (2000) to insert a </FORM> &quot;without asking.&quot;

You aren't supposed to even be on the code-view panel (&quot;HTML&quot;) in FrontPage, but we all know how impractical that is.

Of course I may have misinterpreted your situation too.
 
yep, I actually posted this here and in the fp forum, figured I'd cast a wider net that way.

Element/tag...okay, either way, it's still breaking the forms. I did find a checkbox in the &quot;tools>page options&quot; that is supposed to allow you to &quot;turn off&quot; the automatically inserting form elements in between form tags...but no dice.

Anyone else wanna take a bash at it?
