input forms

**geoff99** · 21 June 2013, 10:25 PM

I have some splash pages which collect data as follows
Name
Email
Confirm email
Telephone
Call Back Time
and a submit button

I have Forms2go which I used with another web package (site spinner pro) but I am not sure how to use this with Designer Pro 8 as I can't find a way to create an input form has anyone used F2G with DP?

Hi Geoff

Yes, you need the embed code which you can add to a Placeholder object. (Website Properties > Placeholder > HTML Code (body)

Hi Gary - OK but how do I create the input form? with my previous program I created the form then dropped onto F2G - how does it know which input box to assign to each field name - do I have to name each box? has anyone got an example of a form I could follow?

You can't create forms in Xara Web Designer.
Only embed a pre created form code into placeholders.
Xara Web Designer isn't a HTML editor, just a graphical designer.

Hi Sledger - Yes I just figured that out and I have been searching the net for a free form builder - Thanks for the reply

Look in the Designs Gallery, Geoff. You'll find some there.

Page Elements >Forms

Sledger.. You CAN design forms in Xara. I have discovered how to use placeholders and layers to visually design a form. Still needs a PHP script to send the form but the controls on the form are in Webdesigner, can be placed anywhere you like (like normal with webdesigner).

I would write a short how to with example but where to send or where to post it?

(And can you remove this reply after reading since it is off topic?)

I would be interested in seeing how you do this
