MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / June 2007personal webserver
Hi All, In win 98 there is an option "personal webserver" in which one can put a website an view it with your browser. Now under XP where do I find such option? Thanks Edmund Edmund, I don't know if that is available in XP, or if there is another tool to replace it, but you could certainly share the html files from Publisher. When you Publish to the Web with Pub 2003, an index.htm file and a index_files folder is produced. If you were to direct that output to a folder on your computer, and shared that folder with others on your intranet, then they could preview the file as you do. Alternatively, you could zip that folder and send that zip file to anyone that wanted to preview it.

DavidF > Edmund, > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >> >> Edmund > You do know that you can preview your site directly from Publisher, right? Hi DavidF Yes I know that. What I want to do is making a sendmail form and test is before it is uploaded to a "real" webserver. Edmund, OK, I understand. Sorry, I don't have a good answer for you. I don't have Pub 98 installed, but assuming that the built-in forms require FrontPage Server Extensions, then at least the following articles may provide some help: Publisher web publication forms 101: http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/2006/01/07/80564.aspx HTTP uploading: http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/category/1921.aspx I guess alternatively, you could find and use a javascript based form script, that would not require FPSE to function, and could be tested before posting the site. Goggle for some free script, and if you don't find any, and want a sample, there was one posted sometime ago, that I might be able to find. You might also look to your webhost for a forms program. Most provide some alternative... DavidF >> You do know that you can preview your site directly from Publisher, >> right?

Never mind, I have to use an other solution. I if it not to much trouble for you, I appreciate anuything that helps me get started. Edmund As your host does not support FPSE, they most likely provide/support some other Form program...perhaps a CGI script. Look to your host's FAQs or support documents for what they do provide. Then you can still use the form building function in Publisher, but you choose to use your hosts program, not FPSE. You might have to use the insert html code fragment feature in Publisher, but follow the directions of how to use the form program provided by your host. The javascript form script I remembered is pretty simplistic, but here it is: ------------ <FORM action=mailto:youremailaddress@yourdomain.com method="post" enctype="text/plain"> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="4" WIDTH="90%"> <TR> <TD width="30%"><DIV align="right"> <B>Name:</B> </DIV> </TD> <TD width="70%"> <INPUT type="text" name="name" size="20"> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><DIV align="right"><B>Email:</B></DIV> </TD> <TD> <INPUT type="text" name="email" size="20"> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><DIV align="right"> <B>Comment:</B> </DIV> </TD> <TD><TEXTAREA name="comment" cols="30" wrap="virtual" rows="4"> </TEXTAREA> </TD></TR> <TR> <TD> </TD> <TD> <INPUT type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> <INPUT type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset"> </TD></TR> </TABLE> </FORM> ---------- You just use the insert html code fragment tool to copy and then insert into your publication. Sorry, but that's about all I have to suggest. DavidF >> Edmund, >> [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Edmund Thanks Edmund, One suggestion is Soupermail from http://soupermail.sourceforge.net/ Fairly easy to set up and quite powerful. Mike >>Edmund, >> [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Edmund Thank you too. you would also have to set up SMTP mail server on your machine and most ISPs are not gonna let you do that anyway. | > You do know that you can preview your site directly from Publisher, right? | [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] | before it | is uploaded to a "real" webserver.
