I'm trying to make a newsletter for my site. I made a sign up site and a site that makes it process. (Not really... Just a test)
When I publish it, I get the following error message.

The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /test2/Processing.htm.

The link is this...http://www.fungamesuniverse.com/test2/Pop-Up1.htm
It doesn't work. On preview web in Frontpage, it works. A video is attached. Am I doing anything wrong?

Vid2 here: www.fungamesuniverse.com/clip00056.avi
If you just go to the link, it works.

What script are you using for the processing?

I'm not actually processing it. It's just a test so far.

I do not understand the problem. Give me some code or something to look at!

Going to it directly doesn't give you error message.

Oh! I get what you are trying to do! You should have the Processing Your Request in the processing code of the thing that translates it and adds to the email list.

From what I can understand, right now you're trying to POST a form straight to a static html page.
That won't do anything, because static html cannot parse a POST request. The server knows this and tells you that - the 'Method not allowed' error.

If you just want to test the form, rename the forms action (Processing.htm) to an extension that can be POSTed to, like .php
You wont have to change anything in the file, just the name.
