Add an advanced button to a form

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

Add an advanced button

1. Click in the form where you want to place the advanced 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 Advanced Button.

Set the properties of an advanced button

1. Right-click in the form, and then click Advanced Button Properties on the shortcut menu.
2. In the Name box, type a name to identify the button in form results.

   This internal name, which is not shown on the form, identifies the advanced 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 .

3. In the Value box, type the text that will appear on the button.
4. In the Button Type box, select the type of button you want to use.

   If you select Normal, you will need to write a for the button to have a function.

5. In the Button Size area, select, in characters, the width and height of the button.
6. Click the Style button to access other options for formatting your form using cascading style sheets as an inline style.

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.
