I have a page with a  simple process.  The visitor (anonymous)  puts in his email address and his name, presses submit and he is brought to a page that has the a files he can access.  The name and email address is simply emailed to an email address.

So to do this I made a generic form handler in ASP.  I made the form in a DNN tab using Text/HTML module.  The form displays fine but when you fill out the form and press submit, I get no joy... the fields just empty out.  Yet my form handler works fine from a non DNN site.  Is it not possible to use generic forms in DNN?

I don't think it is possible to implement with the text/html module.

We had a similar discussion here:

The options are probably:

1) Create a custom module which incorporates the form elements that you need

2) Create a html page which incorporates the form and link to the html page from a page within your DNN portal. - style it to look like any other page within your DNN portal.

3) Create a html page which only contains the form that you require. FTP it to your DNN site. Within your DNN portal, create a new page and insert the iFrame module. - Set the iFrame module to the URL for the html page that you have just uploaded. - This will display the html page within a page on your DNN site. (You will need to check that the iFrame works within various browsers)

no. 3 will probably be the easiest and quickest to set up, but you will  have to check for browser compatibility.
