One thing still puzzles me slightly, are you planning on incorporating the 'Create an Account', 'Log in', 'Cancel' buttons into the actual web form or into the web page?


Hi Robin,

Hypothetically on a web form. Please understand that I am not trying to learn how to put two buttons on a form. I have done it many many times over the past 7 years of web design.

OK, here's another example. You select "Login" from the main menu, nav bar whatever. a Login form appears and you type in your password and it is rejected. It is at the moment you realize you can not remember your password. Wouldn't be nice to have a link or button right there to click to get an email with instructions on resetting your password? I can go on and on and but I wonder if I'm getting anywhere. I still can't understand why multiple buttons on a form are so discouraged by CC. Oftentimes the customer dictates how forms are to be designed. CC should let us design forms as we need to design them.

Have a great day,
Frank

Did you read all the first page rather than stopping at the first post he posted a link in? He did mess up on the beginning, but in the end he definitely is working with the HTML version not the Flash one. I did it myself watching his video so I do know it's the HTML version that is worked out in the end.

Oh Yes Jo Ann, Clever :)

Just to make it clear for others like me :rolleyes: ;

When you click the link shown below, You will see the screencast.com page, below the video screen, there are multiple frames and a horizontal scroll bar.

Select the ninth frame from the left and when played, it shows how to add a reset button on the HTML Version of Web Form Builder.

For me it was just click play. It loads on the right frame.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Just for the record I totally agree with Frank P. I bought web form builder because I was tired of recreating the wheel every time I wanted to make a simple form that looked visually nice and did validation. My plan was to write my custom form handling code after the form got submitted.

The world is full of applications requiring more than one button. A general multiple button capability is whats required in WFB for people who want to focus on the application code and not form design, graphic design and stylesheets.

With the HTML element anything is possible.;)

Frank & Steve Long thread.
As an alternative if you use a Pop UP there is a cross that when clicked it cancels the form. You are either in the form or not.I rather like it. It does not take up much room on a page. Then the only people interested in the form have to make a conscious effort to open it in the first place, so why would they cancel?.
The form builder is what it is.It is a data gatherer that works. It is what you can do with it that counts not necessarily what it does.

Actually, I think people cancel forms all the time. I do. I have clicked on forms, then when I see the information they want to collect I change my mind. No big deal. I simply hit the back button on the browser. :D
