MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / April 2008how to make a hyperlink
I am trying to put together a form so that people can send their quotes into us via our website. However I am stuck as to how they will actually be able to upload their files. I know on most sites people can click the attach file button and their settings will appear, and I want to make that happen, but I dont know how to do it. Do you want to post a link to an email address?

Don, We are a framing company and build timber frames for houses. What I want to do, is when someone is filling out our form and the press the attach documents button, their computer settings appear so as they can find their plans and attach them to the form they are sending me. is this possible? i read the other messages from david f and mike koewler and i am very confused as this is the first time i have ever used publisher. Hopefully you can help me > Do you want to post a link to an email address? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > I > > dont know how to do it. Caitlyn, Mike and David are very savvy on publisher and websites; me, I'm a publisher 2000 user with a few websites. I tried Mikes HTML code fragment and it seems to work. Try this, in your form file select Insert, HTML code fragment. A window will pop up and have a sample line in it. Replace it with Mike's code, <input type="file" id="file_1" name="file_1" size="14"> Then save the file. Next send yourself a form using a sample file to attach. SignatureDon Vancouver, USA > Don, > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >> > I >> > dont know how to do it. Don, I have to disagree with you about being savvy with Pub. I'm barely about a newbie as far as using it. What I do is cheat - I use WebPlus to create the code then place it in Pub to see if it works!

My defense is I'm using myself as a comparison. <G> SignatureDon Vancouver, USA > Don, > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> >> Next send yourself a form using a sample file to attach. Hi Don, I just want to say thankyou very much for going to the trouble of helping me!!! It worked!!! I was so excited when i finally got it as it has been annoying me for ages!! Once again, Thankyou very much! Caitlyn > Caitlyn, > Mike and David are very savvy on publisher and websites; me, I'm a publisher [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > >> > I > >> > dont know how to do it. Don, Need help again! On my quote form, once submit is hit, I want a thankyou page to appear. However i have noticed that it does not allow you to put a hyperlink to the submit button. I also want the thankyou page to be invisible to the main page and the only way to acces the page is once the submit button has been hit. Can you help? Thankyou > Caitlyn, > Mike and David are very savvy on publisher and websites; me, I'm a publisher [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > >> > I > >> > dont know how to do it. You've got me on this one. Maybe one of the other poster in the news group can pick up the ball. SignatureDon Vancouver, USA > Don, > [quoted text clipped - 63 lines] >> >> > I >> >> > dont know how to do it. Caitlyn, Please do not post the same message in multiple threads. It is considered a breach of Netiquette. Mike > Don, > [quoted text clipped - 54 lines] >>>>>I >>>>>dont know how to do it. Mike, I do apologise, as your help was not any good to me, I thought that if I replied to Don (as he was able to help me with a different problem) the message would just reach him. I do apologise for any inconvienience. > Caitlyn, > [quoted text clipped - 61 lines] > >>>>>I > >>>>>dont know how to do it. Don's suggestion of posting an email address may be your only solution as I don't believe that the Publisher form has the capacity of adding a file for uploading. Your ISP might have a forms program that will. Reference: Publisher web publication forms 101: http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/2006/01/07/80564.aspx Also read the article about HTTP uploading and the troubleshooting article here: http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/category/1921.aspx DavidF >I am trying to put together a form so that people can send their quotes >into [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > I > dont know how to do it. David, I'll leave it up to you to explain how to add it into the Pub form area (!), but the OP should be able to use something like <input type="file" id="file_1" name="file_1" size="14"> in an html code fragment. In 2007, I added a text area, then the html code fragment. Checking the source code, the file upload option is within the <form> and </form> tags.

Hummm...thanks. Perhaps you have explained it better than I already. I will have to play with this, or perhaps the OP can try it and post back as to whether it works for them. Thanks for the code. DavidF > David, > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >>>but I >>>dont know how to do it. David, I can't try it because I haven't enabled FPSE on my server. I know it will work with Soupermail as the mail program, but that's a tad more work for the OP (though Soupermail is a great program!). AFAIK, the id tag is not necessary; the name can be whatever you want and the size can be as wide as you wish. I also found a nifty bit of code that allows someone to upload more than one file. I use it on one site but I think only about two visitors have taken advantage of it! Mike > Hummm...thanks. Perhaps you have explained it better than I already.
