FP2002 Included Content and Forms issue...

I think I am going mad with this bug!

Hi there all,

I am using the web component 'Included Content' thingy to include a page that contains a footer into a site that will have content that will change quite regularly...however I have discovered that when I insert a form in this included page fricken Frontpage seems to add random bits of the form ie text boxes etc, into each and every page that has the included content in it...the bugger is that this is not added to the included page but to every single other page...which means a tidy up of every page!

Confused yet?

Does anyone know a fix for this? I have tried putting the form opening tag before the included content FP code, but it causes stupid spacing issues...

Cheers,
Ben

I have tried using form in a include page, but it has not worked me.. :( I assume you can try using SSI or create form without using FP extension and using some extrnal script and then use inlclude page... it might work that way.

Hope this helps.

Use FP Includes instead of the included content thingy you refer to.

Create a file which will act as your included content. Set it up just like a regular html page or whatever technology you are using.

Open the page you want to insert the included content. Position cursor where the content should be and then go to...

Insert > Web Component > Included Content > Page

Browse to the page you created above. You have now included a page into your page. The code will most likely look like this...

<!--webbot bot="include" u-include="/nav/bottom.asp" tag="body" -->

This functions very similar to an SSI and works seamlessly with FP. I just realized after using the program for over 7 years that you can use FP Includes in your <head> too!

Confused yet?

Sorry, just reread your post. What does your <webbot> tag look like? Like the one I posted above? Is the <webbot> code outside of the <form> element?

Yep, it's pretty sweet...but as far as I can tell doesn't handle forms well ( see my original post ). NS I have resorted to just a simple include file...pain in the ass really though, cause I like the way the FP include feature actually displays the content when you are building the site...

Cheers :)

There are many different things that could be affecting this. I know FP forms and includes extremely well and there should be no problems whatsoever. Something is wrong somewhere. Usually when these types of issues arise, its just a matter of using a process of elimination.
