Problem with form on existing website

Hi,
I've recently taken over the management of a clients existing website.
It had a php contact form on it that I have now deleted and I'm trying to use a Frontpage form.

When I click the submit button I get directed to the following page:
http://www.optiqueopticians.com/_vti_bin/shtml.dll/contactus.html

and I see an error message that says:
FrontPage Error.
User: please report details to this site's webmaster.
Webmaster: please see the server's application event log for more details.

I can confirm that the hosting is ok.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Regards,

Sonars_UK

Since you mention a PHP form, I'm guessing this was not a FrontPage site. So are the FrontPage server extensions installed and working on the web hosting account?

You could still use the PHP form in a FrontPage site and some people would consider the PHP form to be a better solution. You may want to consider going back to it if it was working.

Suggest you check out the coding of your form. Perhaps just do a test form on a BLANK page, make sure that works first. The form you have looks like you have copied and pasted or edited but left old code behind. Also the custom confirmation page stated inthe form doesnt even exist i.e. http://www.optiqueopticians.com/ccontactconfirmation.html
You have closing form tag but no opening:
</P></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></FORM>
Then you have an opening form tag with form and closing tag .... the code is a bit of a mess.

Your head tags show that you have saved the page from a .php page

only the code has got messed up while you have tried to edit it.
