While creating a test page with VSD for my team to review, I found that embedding a form into my website with Web Form Builder caused all the text boxes on my test page to disappear. The test page is located at http://www.haleycurlsforhope.org/test.html a duplicate of the page with the from deleted is found at http://www.haleycurlsforhope.org/test2.html Any ideas what might cause this?

Regards,
Kim

hiya Kim,

I'm not 100% sure here, but it does look like there's an end div </div> missing after the form code that was entered into the site. You're using VSD so I don't know how to tell you to correct it, but maybe it's a matter of the place you were telling it to go? Hopefully someone else will have some suggestions there.

The link for your 2nd test page isn't working also, if you want to post the correct link there I'll fix it for you in the top post and I'll delete the fix post. Jo Ann

Kim.

I corrected the links for you.

I can see one problem and that is you have not used the </iframe> closing tag where you have embedded your form. The code should look something like this:-

<iframe width="402" height="468" style="border:none; background:transparent; overflow:hidden;" src="volunteerhours/volunteerhours.html">You need a Frames Capable browser to view this content.</iframe>


You did however use the closing iframe tag for the mapguest link. Jim

have a look for the div class="Object1557" on your page. After the javascript code for your form you will see that you have a tag <noscript> - remove that and your text boxes will come back.

Just wondering why you have used the javascript code for the form and then an ifarme loading the page with the form on again. You don't need the second iFrame. Jim

Looks to me that she's missing a </noscript> at the end of the FB code.:)
Kim remove all the code and try re-pasting it to your html box. In Form builder use the copy to clipboard to grab the code then paste it into your html box.
You need to be careful when removing the Coffeecup reference in the code.;) I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's so easy to overlook something your not looking for.

When I export a form there is no mention of <noscript> or </noscript> in the code you are given by Form Builder, just the iframe code. Jim

It's in every script the form builder generates for me.:)

LOL... I was just about to post with a confirmation that, like Jim, I get only the <iframe> code when I export. But then I thought I'd test it with the latest Build (3261), and found to my surprise that I now get the whole enchilada with scripts and noscripts and iframes an' all...!
My working forms were built with a previous Build and they all contain only the iframe code.
So why was it suddenly considered a good idea to put in all the extra stuff in the later Builds...? Per
