I am pulling my hair out, because I don't even know where to begin. Is there someone who can give me step by step instructions on what to do. I have printed out info from their website, but I can't make heads or tails of it.<br /><br />When I try to put in form action = mailit.php like they said, FrontPage keeps changing it to form action=quote.shtml. I don't understand. Now, when I go to the website and press submit on the form, it says "The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /Quote.shtml"<br /><br />Please, please help. Here is my website:<br /><br />www.dtrav.com<br /><br />I am trying to use the mailit.php for the "Let Us Beat Your Quote" form. Mad!!! Mad!!! Mad!!! <br /><br />Thanks a lot.<!--content-->
Im moving this for better exposure.<!--content-->
You are using the form handler webbot feature of FrontPage. It's been so long since I used FrontPage so I don't know how to have you fix it. But what you need to do is have FrontPage stop using it's webbot feature into this page. Then you will be able to change the action to the mailit.php script and POST will work.<br /><br />Someone familar with FrontPage should be able to help.<!--content-->
If you realized the problem was with FrontPage, why do you blame Ultimate Form Mail? <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /><br /><br />I only used FrontPage 98 for two days, I hated it so much that it became the second thing I always delete as soon as I install any Windows system (the first is the Messenger folder) <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /><br /><br />Try looking in the options dialogs, or something. We have some FrontPage users on the forums, perhaps they'll be able to help.<br /><br /><br />EDIT: I must be blind...

I would also suggest to go to the support forum of UFM.<br />It's located <a href="http://www.surefirewebdesign.com/ufm/" target="_blank">HERE</a><br /><br />Coder might be able to help you and certainly will if he can.<br />Good luck<!--content-->
Thanks for all your suggestions. I posted on their forum, but no one has given me useful information. I have absolutely no experience with knowing how to get a script onto my web. I wouldn't even know where to begin. That is the help I am asking for. I guess I need someone who can walk me through the whole process from start to finish.<br /><br />Thanks, though, for trying to help.<br /><br />Donna<!--content-->
Just for my curiosity.<br />Uner what name did you post there?<br />I can't find any post on the UFM forum.<br />Maybe you could PM me your details and I will have a look at it.<!--content-->

THANKS woesap !!<br /><br />I had to fight with it a bit, i.e. the box to allow scripts to be run was grayed out, but after fiddling with it a bit, I was able to get the script to work
