Re: Submit button stops working when I update my website

I have to get to work, and don't have time to offer a complete answer. For
now, go to:
http://www.ipwhelp.com/view_tutorial.php?w=126
and read about how to uninstall, and then reinstall the FrontPage Server
Extensions. That should fix your forms for the short term.

Thanks for your response. I had actually already read the articles you
mention, and had tried the steps to publish via HTTP, but my file wouldn't
publish as it kept saying "cannot find http://...";. I thought I may not
have
had the right http protocol, and tried a few variations, but nothing. I've
repeatedly asked my web host to provide me with the http protocol, or to
confirm it, but they just keep insisting that Publisher files cannot be
published through http, and I think they've decided to stop talking to me
on
the subject! (ipowerweb, by the way - I had read good things about them
and
had great service up to the point I started to have problems with submit
forms - now they just tell me to hire a web designer).
In any case, I never did publish through HTTP, but my web forms DID WORK -
although I have no idea what made them work. I do have MS FrontPage
extensions installed, but the forms aren't working when I update the
website.
Any more help??
Thanks, mle

Ah yes, the ol' forms don't work problem ;-). From your other message it
appears that you used FTP uploading, and you need to use HTTP uploading
protocol. Clear as mud? Read this article and it will all be clear:
"Publisher web publication forms 101":
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/2006/01/07/80564.aspx

But then you ask, what is the difference between HTTP and FTP uploading
protocols. Here is another link to help explain that:

The submit buttons on my webforms
(http://www.somoscapazes.org/index_files/formvoluntarios.html;
http://www.somoscapazes.org/index_files/formescuelas.html;
http://www.somoscapazes.org/index_files/donar.html) have worked in the
past,
but it seems every time I update my website (republish it with updated
info),
they stop working. I really have no idea what I did in the first place
to
make them start working, so it's hard for me to figure out what to do
to
make
them work again. Please help! Thank you, mle
