Custom html text input table in web...

I've built a web form with a table filled with text input cells. (5 colums x 7 rows) However I am wondering how to capture the data. Since it's custom html do I have to fiddle with the resulting javascript file? (hoping not)
Maybe there is another way to handle this with the one of the standard drag and drop features? That would be easiest as I do not know how to write javascript. CSS yes, scripts no...

I'd like to just purchase the program but unless this program can help or do this for me I'm not convinced the Web Form builder will work for me.

I'm using the current "lite" version on a MacOX 10.8
My form is at http://arnolfo.coffeecup.com/forms/colorsForm/

Thanks in advance for any suggestion/assistance...

Thanks for the reply... If i only knew what all of that meant...

I'm not redirecting anywhere that I'm aware of. All I want to do is collect the data in the table cells. I had to make a table because the program doesn't give that option, does it?

What if I faked the table with 35 text fields?

You said you want to capture the data. The thread I posted shows one way to capture data. There's several other ways. Tell us what you want to do with the data after it's submitted and maybe we can point you to the best way to capture it.

Eric,

Thank you for your reply.

All I am doing is sending the data back to a sales department via email. So, the data would arrive in a formatted style like the rest of the data. The sales department would then call the sender. Nothing too fancy or technical.

The only other way I could think of doing this was to create 35 text fields and hope they all lined up...

Well that too. I have the form 80% completed. I just cannot get the data sent to the email.
Here is my form. Any data input into the 5 column table does not show up in email.

All variables need to be placed by the form builder to use it as a canned app. If your up to writing your own scripts then your table can be used.
You can build a table looking setup within the formbuilder by leaving the label off all the inputs below the first row.

Ok, so building a faux table by using individual text fields placed next to each other in one row. No lables for any row under the first row. Is that what you are suggesting?

Thanks,

a

Yes, Ctrl + c and ctrl + v will be your best friends for this task.
