Essentially I'm trying to write the functionality of the components I've added from the site I've been working on and have posted here previously at length. This is especially true for my simple subscription form. For the submit button I have changed the type to "submit" added a character pattern and gave it the class of input group button among other things. Despite these changes when I preview the site and provide my email, all I get is "match the requested format." Well, with the pattern and proper class categories, to my understanding of the code this should not be.

I also have a contact section that I took from components again and that is really confusing me. I seem to be incapable of editing that button. Allot of my current understanding of code is selecting each individual element, but for that particular component it seems like what you're left with are the input fields. and figuring out how to make that form actually work.

And while this is not specifically RSD, I cannot for some reason add the scripted code from Wed Form Builder to embed in a page, maybe because I've been adding allot of extra dynamic content here and there. Not sure. But I suspect this entire thing is a matter of software and less dealing with code operations.

Well one thing is for sure there isn't anything wrong with Web-Form-Builder software, Embedding the form is a matter of following those instructions as displayed when you choose to embed,

you simply copy the code that wfb shows (use the copy button that it has and paste that code into the html element on your pge where you want to place it.

open the folder as instructed and place the contents of that folder into the root of your site in any html editor or into the folder if there is one where your page is.

You cannot view the form from within RSD, or possibly even from the html editor until it is published to a server that supports PHP

are you trying to put it into your project that you sent to me before ????

To get the component forms to work, you need write some php code and put it in within the html editor (I think) without any of that it doesn't know what to do, regardless of any classes you might assign.
If you would like send me the WFB file via dropbox and I will make a video for showing the embedding process for you

I built a simple contact/enquiry form within RSD using the form container and some fields, ReCaptcha and submit button (also did a backend admin site with authentication in the same way). The submit button action was a php script, which is uploaded separately and is responsible for handling the form data and then returning to a return page. Very simple and effective. Did not need WFB. It sounds like the kind of thing you are trying to do?

@Wayan, yes this is the same exact website as before. I'll try it out and let you know if there are any further problems.

@Geoff Swan Yes that is why I'm trying to do!!!!

I was wondering about pho as it appears to be very necessary to the action part. I've mostly been reading up on javascript HTML and CSS just now coming to terms there are many more languages that need to be used as well.

I'll give it a shot.

So where exactly is the PHP script uploaded too? It seems like HTML Editor (I use Web Editor as I do not have a PC yet) and RSD are not interchangeable with regards to code, so I wouldn't have the foggiest idea of how to write php code in Editor and then put it within the site.

It seems to me I need to upload or configure files on S-Drive in order to make this happen. Does that sound about right?

If you have s-drive capability for hosting your forms from WFB,, that is by far the easiest way to go.

How do I copy the code from the components if it's read only so I can modify it in Editor?

You cannot,, only once you export it
