When I 'Submit to URL' to a webpage I get sent to that page but no data is sent no matter what I select in the 'Submit As' field. What am I missing? Do I need to do something else to get the form to be sent and why am I being directed to that site?

Submit by Email works fine.

Thank you

rad,

If you're submitting to a URL, you're probably wanting to post the form data to it. If that's the case, you should be using a regular button, choosing "submit" as the type, entering the URL for the web page to submit to in the "Submit to URL" property on the "Submit" tab that appears in the Object palette when you choose "Submit" as the button's type, and setting the "Submit As" property to "URL-encoded Data (HTTP post)".

That should post the form data to the URL. For more information, see [url=http://blogs.adobe.com/stevex/2006/05/http_submit.php]this blog post[/url].

Yes, that is what I am doing. No file is sent to the URL I enter in 'Submit to URL' but my browser goes there. Do I need code it that location to process the transmittal?
