Also you may need to download the latest version of Form Builder and resave/upload the form.
CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!

OK! I have finally flipped. I posted here about a form I designed, (an application for membership). I said I used CSS Menu designer - NO I DIDN'T - That was for the Navigation, which is fine. I am sure I used form builder and as it is not working in IE I thought I would re-build the form. Now I cannot find Form Builder in the HTML Editor. I see "Form items" and a drop-down inviting me to get FORM BUILDER, but what happened, I must have had it installed, as I have a form on my project, (albet, not working in IE).
Iam I better off to buy the latest HTML editor which includes a working Form builder? One thing, since I started this project I have switched to Windows 7 from Vista HP
A ver puzzled and confused tonethemoan :mad:

Is your SWFobject uploaded to the correct folder? Regarding form builder. Form builder does not come standard with the html editor, but form objects do. The form builder is a separate program that needs to be purchased. It is quite possible that you had a trial version before, and that let you integrate it into your html? Not sure.

It is also quite possible that something went "wonky" when you switched OS. I just recently did the same thing vista > Windows 7, and am currently having some problems that I did not before. You may want to try and redownload your purchased programs, that should resolve any conflict that may persist.

Thank you Eric, I am watching the thread about the newest HTML Editor. Yes I did find that my form builder IS a seperate program, which I had completely forgotten, but still in place. This site has taken months to build and I have aged seriously in that time......getting forgetful.

BTW Tone, if you already own a copy of the HTML Editor you don't have to purchase a newer version, just go download it, they are upgrades for life on CC :)

Hi Tone
Eric is correct form builder is a CC product in its own right and not part of the html editor.
However if you click on insert you do get a drop down menu which shows form items. Here you can insert a form which you code yourself.
You may have confused it with an option to get form builder which directs you to CC website to download a trial of form builder.
If you already own form builder you can make load it within the html editor. To do this you first have to set it up (assuming you do have it loaded on your PC)
From the menu bar select Tools - Preferences
This loads a screen with a series of tabs
Select applications and enter a description eg Form Builder
In custom application.exe enter the location where the CC program form bulder residues (there is a browse facility to grab the exe file.
It will be something like Program Files\CoffeeCupSoftware\coffeecupwebformbuilder\FormWizard.exe

Hope this helps

Then go to menu Tools - Applications you ill see Form builder Click on it and it loads in html editor.
