Hi, a friend wishes to purchase website building software for about £50. Most importantly they want to be able to import and edit HTML and CSS templates and they also want to have a simple form builder / questionaire.

I am wondering whether the form builder software offered is capable of complex forms or is it for basic enquiry and emails etc

What would you call complex? If your looking for one that does mutiple pages well it doesn't directly do them. You need to do redirects to do multiple pages. You can do file uploads. Why not get the trial and try it out. There's something to be said about simple, and thats what your friend wants.

If by complex, you mean pass variables to other pages or calculate fields, it won't do that. But it does create forms with various fields easily, sends response mail, allows uploads, and stores data in a database. It is best to check out the 30 day trial to see for yourself if it's right for you.

The 'import and edit HTML and CSS' bit is well covered by the HTML Editor.

Thanks very much everyone,

I downloaded the trial form builder and I think it would be ideal, but he's got his mind set on a form that has 'conditional logic' (if../then skip and go to) multiple page sort of thing. I agree that simple would be the best way to go especially to start with and have said as much... I'll give it a few days and drop the link under his nose again... or at least get him to download the trial versions and test them out.

thanks again

Hiya Reni,

A link goes a long way here as I can't understand much at all of what it is you're having issues with. The forms are already a flash based setup so you upload the files it creates and you put the code it gives you where it tells you to put it and that's all you need to do in most cases. There is no "menu" in the forms so I dunno what that means. Sounds like you didn't upload all the files or that you didn't upload them to the main domain location of your website. Keep in mind that you cannot put these files into separate folders of their own, they need to be in the root directory of your domain (the public_html area or www area where the rest of your main website files exist). All 3 of the files need to be uploaded, you cannot use just one or 2 of them.

Hi Jo Ann

the point is i have a website in flash and now i want to to use the form.swf in the website without using the html.

for example in my site is a image viewer wich is also a swf file and working with a xml file and there is no problem.

so i want the same wit the form to do

and go to the fotos

maybe i am more clear now in what mean so hope you have a solution??

Ok so I think I have an idea of what you're "wanting" to do, but I don't understand "why" you want to do it. Sorry, I just don't see anything on your site that's even a movie of any type. The picture on the site that is supposed to be a movie is one picture. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing?

Anyways, what part of the html file gets in the way? I guess more info on the "why" of your request would help
