No answer from a Web server



Hi Newsgroup,

I have written the following program:
-------------------------------------------
<HTML>

<HEAD>
<TITLE>Form Test</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<H1>Form test</H1>
<FORM METHOD="post"
ACTION="http://e-commerce.bus.sfu.ca/ASPTest/
EchoRequest.asp">

<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="cmdSubmit"
VALUE="Submit">
</FORM>
</BODY>

</HTML>
--------------------------------------------
and saved it in a file named FormTest.html.
I double-click the file name in Windows Explorer. There appears another instance of my Internet Explorer and shows the 'Submit' button.
After a few seconds my Internet Explorer reports an error:
"Error: Server or DNS cannot be found.
Internet Explorer"
If you execute this program, do you get a positve response from that server?
What have I programmed wrongly?
Can you please recommend another public Web server and a similar little program as mine to access
and test the FORM METHOD command.


Regards,
Detlef Lechner
