    Default input forms

    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.

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

    Can the form widgets in DP 8 (and soon to be released 9) be edited i.e. change the input fields? - I can't test this as I am running DP 8 Trial and it disables certain widgets (I am upgrading to Ver 9 when it comes out in July)

    The widgets in Xara Designer link to the the third party home page where the forms are configured and are hosted.
    But yes, many allow you to change and add custom fields.

    I use Simfatic Forms - it costs about £50 but you get a trial for 30 days. Really good.

    You need a server that handles php.

    Thanks for all the tips - the annoying thing is I have a paid subscription to forms2go but they just create the php script you have to create the form elsewhere I have tried a couple of sites but I can't seem to get it to work - If anyone has done this with forms2go can you post an example for me to follow.

    BTW there is a difference between www.form2go.com and the one I have - forms2go from www.bebosoft.com
