This is really strange... i have a form on an html page. it works fine before i add an action, when i add an action, it doesn't display. Anyone see anything wrong?

<html>
<head>
<title>IAS- Advertiser Login</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#000088" text="#FFFFFF" link="#FFFFFF" vlink="#FFFFFF" alink="#FFFFFF">
<div align="center"> <font size="6">Advertising Login</font>
  <hr>
  <p>Please enter your Userid and password
    to see the statistics of your advertising campaign. </p>
  <form name="form1" method="post" action="/_scripts/_ASP/advertising/authenticate.asp">
    <table width="200" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0">
      <tr>
        <td>UserID</td>
        <td>
          <input type="text" name="idnum">
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>Password</td>
        <td>
          <input type="password" name="pwd">
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td colspan="2">
          <div align="center">
             <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
             <input type="reset" name="Submit2" value="Reset">
          </div>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </form>

That's odd, it works for me even thru iis 5.0

Do you have the script virtual directory that installs with iis installed on that site..? perhaps it don't allows you to post data to it when that virtual dir is installed for security, and IIS is so stupid that don't know the difference between _scripts and scripts. I'm just guessing...

I would try removing /_scripts/ from the action and see what happens.

Keep us posted, I'd like to know the answer to this one...

i tried removing the _scripts part of it... the strange thing is that i use simalar forms with the same action as this one and they run just fine. there's nothing wrong with my permissions... the iusr account is set up for write and execute... no clue on this one!

i just tried moving the file, (to make sure that the directory wasn't corrupted) to no eval. this really sucks because this is a key component to my site... this is the whole advertising software system that i wrote

Do you know if it's getting to the form handler? Your post indicated that nothing displayed. Is it the input form that dowsn't display, or is it jumping to the form handler and tossing a blank screen?

You might want to do a test with a dummy handler (response.write "Got this far") in the same directory as the form page. Might help sectionalize the prblem.

If you're testing it locally, make sure any Anti-virus script blockers and pop-up blockers are off.

Is IIS up and serving other asp pages?

Grasping at straws here...

Show us some code from authenticate.asp to see if we can see anything in it. The code you have above is just a simple form, there is nothing to debug in it..........
