Add a push button to a form

In Page view, do one or both of the following:

Add a push button

1. Click in the form where you want to place the push button.

   If you are inserting a form field but have not already created a form, Microsoft FrontPage will automatically create a form area and insert the field inside that form. The form area will appear as a dashed line when you are editing the page.

   You can insert a new line by pressing ENTER.

2. On the Insert menu, point to Form, and then click Push Button.

Set the properties of a push button

1. Double-click the button.
2. In the Name box, type a name to identify the button in the form results.

   This internal name, which is not shown on the form, identifies the push button in the form results. It will be visible to the site visitor on the default confirmation page, which is displayed when you use a form handler rather than a custom script.

3. In the Value/label box, type the text that will appear on the button.
4. In the Button type box, select Normal.
5. Click the Style button to access other options for formatting your form using cascading style sheets as an inline style.
6. Click the HTML button to view the HTML of your page so that you can write a script for your button to give it an action.

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 to test the form.
