I've asked this question on this forum in the past but I can't make it work. I know that you can't simply include a form into a DHTML document but I haven't the slightest idea how to go about doing this.
Here's what I have so far.

2 documents
1st document is the primary website in DHTML.
2nd document is in html and is a duplicate of the primary site's layout with the "contact us" forms section.

Is this the best way to go about doing this?

When I try linking to this document, I get the following result on my website:
Not Found
The requested document was not found on this server.

How do I link to this document?
Is it possible to maintain the integrity of the DHTML and still include the contact us fields?
Here's an example of website that's doing what I'm trying to do:

Seem simple to me, make a Contact page with CSS/HTML, name it contact.html, upload it to your FTP, and link your DHTML pages to it. What's so hard anout that?

It sounds like it should be easy and I've done exactly that but I still get the following message:
Not Found
The requested document was not found on this server.

Name the Contact page, contact.html in file name area of Inspector. Upload it, do u see contact.html in your FTP area? Are your links correct?

Thanks for your advise. I do see the html in my FTP and I've transferred the html to the remote site. As far as the links are concerned. I've tried 3 different methods. First, I tried linking the two documents under the link document tab and then I tried linking through file under the internet tab and I've tried to link with websites under the internet tab as well.

I'm at a complete loss

The way you link shouldn't matter; it's what happens after you get to the page that we need to look at. I was able to get to the contact page from the home page without any trouble.

And, I submitted a form...everything seemed to go smoothly from my end; it took me to the message page after I submitted it.

Uhhh, where did you submit a form at? He never listed his website link; the link he listed is someone elses website with a working form.

When I have had problems linking to another page, I have found the best thing to try first is to enter the full page name in your browsers location bar. Make sure to enter the extension (.htm or .html). This will guarantee that the page is on the server and works. The next thing I try is to cut and paste the actual linked address from the link dialog into my browser. If this works, then at least you know the page is correct.
