Nope its all gobledegoop to me :)

So near yet so far, form almost does a perfect job, come on CC should this bit of form builder have options at this stage, so we can edit not just the text, but also the form result height.

You can do it!!! You can do it all night long!!!

I know you can do this Viv, you just have to copy and paste... Just like in VSD. Just in HTML it is words instead of pics.

We could stop working on calculations and payment integration if you want us to focus on that Viv. We only have so many things we can do at once. ;)

I've been trying to find out how to specify where I want the files uploaded to the server to GO. I can't find it -- either it's not there or it's not obvious.

SUGGESTION: on the PROPERTIES tab when you select a FILE UPLOAD element, allow us to specify what folder these files are to go into; The easiest way would be for us to specify a folder relative to the location the form is called from. For example, if we have the Web Form Builder entered on a page called "submit.php" in the /repository directory of our site, then if we specify that we want the uploads to be put into the /tempupload directory, they will be actually be put into the /repository/tempupload directory. That directory should be automatically created if it doesn't exist.

If that capability already exists, it's well hidden and it would be nice if you'd tell me how to find it.

Also, on this user forum, it would be very nice to be able to see all our own posts and their replies (a quick link button), and it would be nice if we were able to set a flag to have the system send us an email when we get a reply to a posting.

I would love to see the ability to set default padding and similar settings that can span for "all" elements and then adjust from there instead of having to adjust every single element. If I start a form and I see that every element line is 21 padding on left and I know I want them all 0, or if I see that there is way too much padding between the lines (top and bottom) I'd like to have a global setting that spans all the elements. Right now it's a real inconvenience to have to set every single element if you know you what padding you want to span them all.

Same for colors and pretty much anything that could be construed as a global setting.

I would like to be able to have an element be able to send me a set value that the user doesn't see. In other words if user clicks check boxes:

A [ X ] , B [ X ] , C [ ] , D [ X ]

I want the results to send me back:
(I don't have a form setup with the checkboxes yet so I don't know what the new checkbox results look like so this is just a generic idea below)

A: checked = $40
B: checked = $50
D: checked = $120

Where the monetary (or any other type of text) values are values I give to to the field in the program, but are not shown on the form. I don't know what this is called, but a sort of hidden value that is entered in the results if certain things are checked or radio buttons are chosen or pretty much any element has a value in it. Doesn't have to calculate, just has to give the value in results.

Hope that makes sense :)
