Do you use a script or mailto? Can we see the page?

[Darin McGrew]

Can you post the URL (address) of your contact page so we can see what's going on? What happens when you try to submit the form?

No you don't.

Is this the page, http://www.sdwebdesign.net/contact.html ?

CODE

<form id="contact" name="contact" method="post" action="contact.asp">

If the server gives the right response, that ASP script doesn't exist.
http://www.sdwebdesign.net/contact.asp


Also, you've closed the FORM prematurely. All the form controls must be inside the form.

HTML

<form id="contact" name="contact" method="post" action="contact.asp">
</form>
# LOTS OF OTHER STUFF #
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />

That's why the page doesn't even reload when you hit submit. The submit button isn't part of the form.

also my ASP script is on the server, i don't know why it's giving that message

[Darin McGrew]

Well, it may be on the server, but the URL
http://www.sdwebdesign.net/contact.asp
sends a redirect response, redirecting to
http://www.sdwebdesign.net/error.htm?

[pandy]

Are you sure you put the script in the same folder as contact.asp?

yes I did. they are all together

And ASP is working on your server? Have you used other ASP scripts?

I don't know if it's working on my server. how do i test that to see if it's working on my server? No i have not used other ASP scripts. which other ones i can use? i can send you one that i have and maybe you can look it up.

[Darin McGrew]

And ASP is working on your server? Have you used other ASP scripts?

That's a good point. Either the server is redirecting because it can't find /contact.asp or the server is redirecting because it is configured to redirect all *.asp URLs to the error page.

Darin, I don't know how it works with ASP, could it be that you just aren't allowed to access ASP scripts directly? I don't know if there is a recognizable difference (for the server) between ASP scripts, like this one, and ASP pages with ASP and HTML mixed. What I'm trying to say is, could this be the server's way of saying "access denied"?

vedo, I don't know anything about ASP. You seem to be on an IIS server, so ASP is likely. Check if the spec for the plan you have says anything about ASP. Snooping around the control panel may give something too. Write, or find, something very simple in ASP, like a script that just spits out "hello world" and see if it runs.

Don't known of this site is reliable, but there are simple ASP samples you could try.
http://www.asptutorial.info/

These date directives (or what they're called) for example.
http://www.asptutorial.info/learn/Datetime.html

I'm assuming you just put for example <% =date %> in a HTML page, rename it to .asp, upload it and call it up in the browser. If it works the "tag" should be replaced with today's date. Note that's just how I *think* it works.
