I have an issue With the file upload part of my form, it doesn't always load my file and email it to me, I think it's down to the form being submitted before the file uploads! Is there anyway of adding a progress bar for the file upload or making a form error until the file is uploaded and ready to send??

That is something we are looking into for a future update.

Hi All, I've been a member here for years, but don't even remember the last time I posted.

My requirements for HTML are quite basic. Mostly just for working with and displaying images. I had an older version of HTML editor, which I liked very well. Lost it somehow, so I have the newest free version. Liked the old one better. It was simpler, less powerful, and suited my needs.

Anyway I have a question: Is there any way to display more than one image with a single entry? For example <img src=http://www.garlic.com/~jimd/pic1.jpg, pic2.fig, pic3.jpg>, etc? I tried this and it didn't work. Just wondered because I'd like to be able to display, say 20 pictures without having to retype the html command over and over? Yep! I'm lazy (smile).

Thanks for any help[.

Have a great day,


Regards,

Jim

You can't do it in the same tag, but copy and paste works very well with the HTML Editor so just copy the entire image tag and paste it on the next line or right after it and edit the image information to the next image. Can't get any simpler than that.

Or...

You can open the folder location in the file tree of your project and drag and drop each image into the html file and that puts the images in one by one without having to type a single word.

Also, are you working with the OSX version of the editor or the Windows version? If it's the windows version we'll move this post to the correct location and if it's the OSX version then it's all set. Good luck either way on it. :)

P.S. If you had a paid version of the HTML Editor years ago, then you are able to update that free anytime for the life of the program so you should be able to download the paid version on your account.

Thanks, Jo Ann,

The only version they showed that I own seems to be a version that I do not have.

The version I just downloaded and installed yesterday, shows, in help/about shows v9.7 build 412.

It shows a newer version is available v12 something. What I would REALLY like to get was the version from a number of years ago. It is probably on one of my Hard Drives around here somewhere. Hadn't used it in a long, long time. Got to looking for it yesterday, I think, couldn't find it, so I downloaded the current FREE version. My needs are so basic, I may have to look for some other brand of editor to really "get back to the basics", lol.

I can't get to first base with this one. I might have to READ something, lol. I hate programs that I can't use without reading the manual.

I tried to do what you said about opening the folder in the "file tree" and drag and drop. Didn't even get that far.. Yep, looks like I've gotta learn to read (smile!)

I may need to contact support about that older version. I know I have purchased a few pieces of stuff from them, but it isn't recorded.

Many thanks.

Regards,

Jim

Well if you did purchase the HTML Editor, and they can find the record (or you can) then you should definitely be able to update to the newest version without too much hassle. Good luck on getting that up to date it's definitely worth it and trust me when I say the old version will not be able to do what you need to do with today's code on a convenient basis. Take some time with the free version and check it out at your pace, don't get yourself too overwhelmed with it and you'll be fine. It's a very different world in the web building area these days, so the newer tools will do a lot better for you than the old one will.

Don't hesitate to ask if you get stuck with something or are trying to make sense of something, that's what we're here for as users to help each other :) Jo Ann

Hey everyone

I've got a question, not certain if it's advanced or not but I can't find a function in Web form builder which helps me out.

I've got a client who I'm building a form for, a warranty registration form where half the form is compulsory fields(everything required for warranty), but they've included fields as a general survey, and have included a message that anyone who fills out all the fields will receive a free gift.

They want to display a different submit button if the user has filled out every field, however I'm going to suggest to them that instead of that, a message will be displayed if they have filled out all the fields required. Conditional logic or whatever its called right? Similar to validation I assume? Is there a way I can add this through web form builder.If not, I do know a little bit of code just not enough to know how to do it off the top of my head/where to start myself, and don't really want to touch jquery for accessibility reasons

We are working on an update that includes conditional logic / fields. Not sure if the "empty or not" check will be in the first version, but if there are enough people asking for it, adding this should not be a problem.

Cheers, good to know that this is a function that might come in, we don't use enough custom forms to warrant paying for a wufoo account so having a piece of software I can make them quickly and easily through is great, the addition of conditional logic in future will make it king for alot of people too i'd say. I'll be able to implement it myself with a little elbow grease at the moment, cheers for the help :)

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
