Good day every one,

I'm developing a website for a company, which is basically a very simple website just for browesing pdf files. I've put on the homepage a search area to search for a specific file on the site. The other issue is a feedback sections to submit a comments from the users about the site or everythings. This section has a form to be filled and then submit it by clicking the "Submit" button. But, unfortunatelly, I could not active these buttons. They are standing in fron of the page without doing anything. When I click the "Search" button it does nothing and the "submit" button does so!

I've got the following code for the action;
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="somelink">

I could not do anythig for these issues! Can any one tell my what to do?

I'm using Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004, and pages of ".asp" type.

Thanx

Abdallah ;)

<form name="someform" id="someform" action="somelink.asp" method="post">
//other input fields here
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" value="SUBMIT">
</form>
the form would do nothing if 1)the action is not specified and 2)the button does not have have input type="submit"

hope this helps

Thanx dear,

but where the submitted data would go?
In other word, in my case I'm doing a feedback form, and I want to recive an e-mail from the submitted comments. How would this implemented?

Thanks a lot.

the data would of course be going to the page mentioned in the form action part. inthis case somelink.asp
the data which is sent to that page would be processed there.
somelnk.asp needs to have the program which would process the form inputs based on your requirement. that would be an altogether different issue.

whether it works or not depends on what you got in that page!
people could be more helpful if you could post the contents of THAT page

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="feed.asp">

probably it ud b a better idea to follow convention and write this as
<FORM METHOD="POST" NAME="feedback_form" ACTION="feed.asp">

apart from this the page looks ok.

my point all so far has beeen the stuff thats happening on feed.asp. does it do anything at all? is it supposed to output any stuff? i dont know much about asp so ill not be very helpful, but i was wondering if the code there is OK?

What does feed.asp contain? That seems like that would be where the problem lies.
