FP97: Cannot Use Search Component With Active Server Pages This article was written about products for which Microsoft no longer offers support. Therefore, this article is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated.
This article was previously published under Q183046 For a Microsoft FrontPage 98 version of this article, see 194284 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/194284/EN-US/). On This PageSYMPTOMS
When you click the Search button on an Active Server Page (ASP), the
results of your search are returned, but the ASP script on your page does
not execute. In some cases, the following error message appears in your Web
browser:
FrontPage Error. User: please report details to this site's webmaster.
The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) in the Address box in Internet Explorer
resembles this
Webmaster: please see the server's application event log for more details.
http://<myserver>/<myfile>.asp/_vti_bin/shtml.dll/<myfile>.asp.
where <myserver> is the location of your Web and <myfile> is the name of
the file you are previewing.
CAUSE
You can not use the Search Form on an Active Server Page.
When an ASP page is requested on a server, Asp.dll parses it. It finds any script specified to run on the server, executes it, and displays the results. When you conduct a search using the Search Form, Shtml.dll parses the search page and the results of the search are expanded into the search file and displayed in the browser. When a search is performed using the Search Form on an ASP page, Shtml.dll cannot parse the file because Asp.dll is already parsing it. Because Shtml.dll fails, it outputs the message described in the "Symptoms" section. When using Microsoft Index Server, the Search Form does not use Shtml.dll. Instead, the action for the form points to the .idq file associated with the file. RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods
Method 1: Install Microsoft Index ServerInstall Microsoft Index Server on the Web server hosting your Web.
