Ugh, I don't think FrontPage has really gotten away from making hideous webpages since it was born. It does seem an odd thing to be using with Fedora, there are a variety of different website editors available. NB: I don't use them, I use plain editors. I've yet to find any HTML editor that does a better job than I can do by hand. > I need to generate a form that captures name and email address to send > web page update notifications.

If, as David thinks, you're just providing a form to mail service, for someone to leave you a message with their contact details, then there's any number of mailform scripts that will do the job. The one he mentions sounds good, though I've never used it, and don't know if it has any security issues. I use the NMS FormMail replacement for Matt Wright's terrible FormMail script. All that's "required" is some script to handle the data received by a form, in the manner that you require. Which could be mailing the results to you, as the above mentioned scripts do. Or something more elaborate could enter details into a database, and something else could do something with the database, automatically. I couldn't offer more advice on the latter, but someone else could. You might get mored advice if you provide more details about what you really need to do. > Can someone suggest a native way to generate the forms for Apache. > Does Fedora have a forms generator? Do you just mean something to generate the webpage with the form, or the script that deals with the form results? Any HTML authoring program worth its salt can produce the HTML. That side of things has nothing to do with Apache. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
