I am using Windows XP Pro. I generate the following code through Front Page Express. When I "submit" my "comments", my browser (IE) reports: "Cannot find server or DNS Error".

The code:
Code:
<form action=&quot;--WEBBOT-SELF--&quot; method=&quot;POST&quot;>
    <!--webbot bot=&quot;SaveResults&quot;
    u-file=&quot;file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Dimandja/Local Settings/Temp/_private/homeresp.txt&quot;
    s-format=&quot;TEXT/TSV&quot; b-label-fields=&quot;TRUE&quot;
    s-builtin-fields=&quot;Date,Time,REMOTE_NAME&quot; --><p> </p>
    <p>Please tell me what you think about this page.</p>
    <p><strong>Comments:</strong><br>
    <textarea name=&quot;Comments&quot; rows=&quot;10&quot; cols=&quot;40&quot;></textarea> <br>
    <br>
    <strong>From:</strong><br>
    <input type=&quot;text&quot; size=&quot;40&quot; maxlength=&quot;256&quot; name=&quot;From&quot;> <br>
    <br>
    <input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit Comments&quot;> <input
    type=&quot;reset&quot; value=&quot;Reset Form&quot;> </p>
</form>
What do I need to do to post my 'comments' to the text file indicated? And what is WEBBOT?

A webbot is FP built in form handling. You ned to be running personal web server, iis or publish these pages to some &quot;web&quot; server with FP extensions installed. DeZiner

Hi mate,

You need to ask this in the frontpage forum, it has nothing at all to do with HTML.

Hope this helps Wullie
