Hi Folks,

I believe that I am using the HTML version - certainly there are no flash files produced when I save. I notice there is a version 3033 of WebFormBuilder, which I will install now.

My apolgies if I am wrong!

Watch this space ...

Phil

Hmmm ... certainly, the interface is much different in v 3033, and I take your point.

Looks like I may have made a "boo-boo" here.

Xmas party tonight (leaving soon), but I'll have a good look at this stuff tomorrow when I've sobered up!

Apologies for any confusion,

Phil

I didn't use any theme, just check "transparent" check box and used a white font since my page background is 242424. Thanks for your kind words.

Many thanks Ericphotoart. That will save me a ton of time playing around with the themes, as what you have, is exactly the look I'm after too. Looks great! Thank you.

Apologies again - yes, I'd skipped from one variant of FormBuilder to another. Thanks, Tom, for pointing out my mistake before I tried to confues everyone (especially myself) further!

I agree with Bren, I think Eric's forms look great.

Anyway, I have figured out how to add a reset button easily in the HTML version - screencast to follow ...

Phil

Hi again!

If you wish to add a Reset button to a WebFromBuilder form (HTML version), there are two main files to look at ...

Let's say your WebFormBuilder form is called EricsForm -

You'll need to edit the EricsForm.html and default.css files.

All is explained here -

THAT is a very very helpful video Phil, thanks very much for that. By the way, one of the main reasons anyone would use a reset button is for things you cannot "undo completely". Things that come to mind first hand would be radio buttons that aren't already pre chosen on loading the page. Radio buttons have a permanent effect so if you choose something, you usually cannot go back and redo it without a reset button.

Now if we can get CC to make the Radio buttons not preselect a choice this will be an awesome help

Thanks Jo Ann

I hadn't thought of things such as radio buttons! So there is a good reason, after all.

I've just tested my theories on a form with radio buttons and options and it seems to work ok - phew!

It makes me wonder why the flash version of WebFormBuilder has an option for adding reset, whereas the HTML version doesn't. Mind you, that's software development, which can a be a bit of a black art!

Hello Phil,
Your video was fantastic! You did it the way everybody can understand and even I did
I made a small change however the html page. I copied this code:
<input style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(theme/default/images/btn_submit.png)" id="fb-submit-button" class="fb-button-special" value="Submit" type="submit" />
and then changed the submit to reset. The rest was exactly how you described on the tutorial.
Here is my form with YOUR Reset button

Thanks!

Hi Eric

Your form looks good!

I can't actually see the code that you copied, but it's certainly worked - just shows what a little teamwork achieves.

I've been looking at your checklist for modeling tips, and I'm afraid it'll be a while before I can send you a decent photo. Having said that, I believe it's not advisable to send offensive images over the 'net, so perhaps I won't bother!

Regards,

Phil
