For a Microsoft FrontPage 98 version of this article, see 174427.



SYMPTOMS
When you apply validation to a form field, FrontPage overwrites the custom form field name that you entered for the form field.



CAUSE
When you apply field validation to a form field, FrontPage automatically assigns a predefined name to the form to ensure that the name being used is unique. These names are passed to the FrontPage Server Extensions at browse-time. Note that if you apply validation to a form field, you cannot assign a custom name to the form.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, set the scripting language to None. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open the Web that contains the page that uses form field validation.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Web Settings.
 * 3) Click the Advanced tab.
 * 4) Under Default scripting language, in the Client list, select None.
 * 5) Click OK.
 * 6) If you are prompted to recalculate hyperlinks, click Yes.
