i have an asp page is use which sends emails to me/client & adds records to a database for shoppers who request a brochure from the site

i created a brochure page called "brochure request"

i wished to link it to my asp file called brochure.asp

but actinic will not allow me to !, only files with html extensions are allowed it seems

is there a work around ?

You can always code a html tag into your brochure fragment i.e.

!!<<a href="http://www.mysite.com/">My Site</a>>!!

thank you

have put straight into action, see

www.forsyth4.co.uk (http://www.forsyth4.co.uk)

as you can see i did have the brochure link on the left hand side

i am just wondering now

can you embed java script in the fragment which redirects to the asp file ?

to make it really neat i need to replicate all the menus in the asp file

Hi,

As far as i know, you can embed anything that is HTML compliant - ie javascrip etc in !!< >!! tags. Actinic will basically leave them alone and output the raw result. I have used it successfully in my extended info pages on http://www.calibresoftware.co.uk to launch new popup windows.

With regard to menus, why not have the form as a brochure page, embedding all the form code in a fragment using !!< >!! and just having the action going to the asp page you have made?

thank you

i like the idea of having the form in the html page & the action in the asp page

before i have had the asp form post data back to itself

took a look at your site, i like the reviews button on each product
