I'm a newbie to website creation.

I have most of my site complete but need to create an order form. I am using FrontPage and am hosted by GoDaddy, which requires a form called "GDform.ASP"

I am so lost I can't quite figure out the question!

When I am creating my form on FrontPage I go to Page Properties and tell it that I would like the info to be sent to my email. I then get a message that reads, "Form cannot be configured to send results via email. The Web site may be located at a disk-based location, or on a server that has not been configured to send email. Would you like to remove the email recipient?"

Is this problem related to not being an ASP form? Or is it something else? My email GoDaddy *is* configured.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

No, the problem is more likely related to FrontPage not "knowing" where the form is.

Have you tried Godaddy technical for information on how to code the form?

Active Server Pages or ASP, as it is more commonly known, is a technology that enables you to make dynamic and interactive web pages. ASP uses server-side scripting to dynamically produce web pages that are not affected by the type of browser the web site visitor is using.

The default scripting language used for writing ASP is VBScript, although you can use other scripting languages like JScript (Microsoft's version of JavaScript).

ASP pages have the extension .asp instead of .htm, when a page with the extension .asp is requested by a browser the web server knows to interpret any ASP contained within the web page before sending the HTML produced to the browser. This way all the ASP is run on the web server and no ASP will ever be passed to the web browser.

Any web pages containing ASP cannot be run by just simply opening the page in a web browser. The page must be requested through a web server that supports ASP, this is why ASP stands for Active Server Pages, no server, no active pages.

Its a powerfull scripting language to create dynamic webpage. To run an active server page u need IIS with Frontpage server Extension Install on your web server. To Post a simple mail u need to Use CDONT and few lines of ASP code. U useful Information on www.4guysfromrolla.com

Actually, you don't need FrontPage server extensions at all to run ASP. ASP is a scripting language native to IIS.

Technically, you don't need IIS either, with the advent of Chilisoft ASP (although it runs like crap.) IIS is the much better version, though.

ASP is a technique and uses visual basic language to run. It is powerful tool to connect to database.

Seems like there's a trend that development is shifting to ASP.net, so may not be worth your while to pick up ASP. Anyway, looks like most sites are using php these days.
