Re: page cannot be displayed after hitting submit on sign up form

First of all, it appears that 110mb.com does not support FPSE which are
essential to get the forms to work in a Publisher web page. This is typical
of the free hosting services. I don't know about the second, as I could not
get the site to load, which says something about whether you would want to
host a site there. If you want to use one of these then chances are you will
need to use the ISP's form program or perhaps a javascript form.

Otherwise as long as you are using XP and IE6, then these references will
explain HTTP uploading and the basics about forms. And if you aren't using a
form, then I would suggest using FTP uploading.

There are always trade offs and nothing is really free. GoDaddy is great for
registering domains, and its paid hosting is ok, but its free hosting has an
advertising banner across the top of the page that is incompatible with the
absolute positioning code that Publisher uses. Other free hosts give you
free hosting but charge you an arm and a leg for domain registration. I
would use GoDaddy for registering any domain, and then if you want to
experiment with free hosts go for it, but there will be trade offs. If you
are only doing a personal site, no business, then who cares if the site
doesn't load all the time, or it is super slow, or that you have to
advertise other sites on your site. But if you get serious or are doing a
business site, then cough up the $5 a month for paid hosting that is
available at many hosts. I use GoDaddy to register my domains, but host my
sites with http://www.webhost4life.com/

As per your pictures not showing, that is probably because you did not
upload all your web files. Assuming that you are using 2003 or 2007 and
haven't changed the default, then when you Publish to the web, Publisher
will produce an index.htm file (your home page) and an index_files folder
that contains your other pages and all the images. You probably did not
upload that folder.

Hope that answers some of your questions.

4- By the way... Im using this free hostings due I want to test first how
my
page works then use a fee hosting. Do you think the free sites have some
limitations like no images just text? My page is just 378kb load. Im
checking some sites at these hostings and they have images and no problem
and
they are more than mine in loading therms.

I made my own web site and the last page is a sign up form for a news
letter.
When you hit the submit botton the next page is the page cannot be
displayed
message. And also the form doesnt go to my email like I have it set
to
do.
I
tried to add a thank you page with a link that takes you back to my
home
page
and put it after the sign up form page to see if that works but
still
the
same thing happened. I am using microsoft publisher 2003. How can I
fix
this?
