Disable automatic form funtionality for form fields

By default, when you insert a form field outside of a form area, Microsoft FrontPage creates a form area with Submit and Reset buttons, and then inserts the field inside the form.

If you want to use form fields with scripts rather than inside forms, you will need to first disable this feature by doing the following:

  1. On the Tools menu, click Page Options.
  2. On the General tab, clear the Automatically enclose form fields within a form box to disable automatic forms.

Now you can write a script to use as a form field and not have to use the FrontPage automatic form field.

Note    To test the functionality of your form, you must first publish your web site to a web server running either the FrontPage Server Extensions or SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft. Ask your web server administrator or Internet Service Provider whether this software is installed on your web server. Once the web site is published, click Preview in Browser Preview in Browser button to test the form.
