Help with autoresponder CGI

[wr213]

I have a script that is supposed to sign people up via a request and send them the info requested at determined intervals etc. Well the script is supposed to be activated by the line of code

http://www.nationwidenotebuyers.com/cgi-bin/autoresponder/activate.cgi

or by a reference to that in the index page refered to as the activation page. I have done everything according to the instructions but when I click send on the test page nothing happens at all. The test page can be found here:

I am out of ideas on this...I tried messing with the line of code FORM POST but no luck.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

You have two closing form tags </form> and the first one is closing the form so your submit button is no longer part of the form.

Get rid of the first </form> tag

Also your action line is going to fir ar.cgi instead of activate.cgi

I am trying to eliminate the </form> tag as you suggested and i noticed that as soon as I hit save on frontpage 2002 the tag re-appears! I force it down, delete an empty line, hot save and again the same thing. I tried forcing it with the notepad and no joy. Thanks for your help.

This is how the code is created to be inserted into the page:
<form method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;

http://www.cheapmoneymakingcourses.com/cgi-bin/autoresponder/ar.cgi&quot;><input

type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;mode&quot; value=&quot;register&quot;><input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;ar&quot; value=noteb><div align=&quot;center&quot;><center><table border=&quot;1&quot; cellSpacing=&quot;0&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#C0C0C0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;><tr><td align=&quot;right&quot;><font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;>Name:</font></td><td><font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;user&quot; size=&quot;20&quot;></font></td></tr><tr><td align=&quot;right&quot;><font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;>Email:</font></td><td><font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;email&quot; size=&quot;20&quot;></font></td></tr><tr><td align=&quot;right&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot;><div align=&quot;center&quot;><center><p><font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;><input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Subscribe&quot; name=&quot;B1&quot;></font></td></tr></table></center></div></form>

and this is what frontpage does:
<form method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;

http://www.cheapmoneymakingcourses.com/cgi-bin/autoresponder/ar.cgi&quot;>

</form>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;mode&quot; value=&quot;register&quot;><input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;ar&quot; value=noteb><div align=&quot;center&quot;><center><table border=&quot;1&quot; cellSpacing=&quot;0&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#C0C0C0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;><tr><td align=&quot;right&quot;><font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;>Name:</font></td><td><font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;user&quot; size=&quot;20&quot;></font></td></tr><tr><td align=&quot;right&quot;><font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;>Email:</font></td><td><font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;email&quot; size=&quot;20&quot;></font></td></tr><tr><td align=&quot;right&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot;><div align=&quot;center&quot;><center><p><font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;><input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Subscribe&quot; name=&quot;B1&quot;></font></td></tr></table></center></div></form>


Is there a way to turn that feature off?

 

[PaulTEG]

Yes, by using Notepad, and bin the piece of S**T.

There are a number of HTML editors out there that don't try to do helpful things like screwing up your code.

I use an editor called textpad from

http://www.textpad.com

to write the HTML, but one of the other HTML editors to generate the code I want for a particular look and feel, without having to remember all the code 'n' stuff.

Paul,

Thank you so much! I was able to make it work by using Dreamweaver MX instead. I was able to make modifications right away and see what I was doing. I will force myself to learn dreamweaver now. I used FP for its easy to use interface but that code fiasco wasted 3 long days and I can't afford that. I could not see what was happening since I was reviewing the code BEFORE I was putting it in and no wonder could not see anything wrong. I should have inspected the actual code on the page. Thanks to you I was able to discover what FP was doing as soon as I hit save.

Thanks again!
