Form Builder works perfectly with RSD. What you are doing is going about adding the form the hard way which is causing the problems. Just export your form and use the embed code and paste that into your page. Right now you are pasting the raw form into your page and then other markup into the head. That simply is not needed.

Here is a pretty basic RSD website with a form added to it and it works perfectly. This uses the Export > Manual Server Setup which generates this block of code:

<script type="text/javascript">document.write(unescape("%3Ciframe id=\"fb_iframe\" src=\"contact.php" + window.location.search + "\" width=\"100%\" height=\"830\"allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\"%3E&lt;a href=\"contact.php\" title=\"contact\"&gt;Check out my CoffeeCup Form&lt;/a&gt;%3C/iframe%3E"));</script>
<noscript>
<iframe height="830" style="border:none; background:transparent; overflow:hidden; width:100%;"
id="fb_iframe" src="contact/contact.html">
<a href="contact.php" title="contact">Check out my CoffeeCup Form</a>
</iframe>
</noscript>

Scott is correct here. I've added the Form Builder forms to RSD sites and they work flawlessly using the script provided by the Form Builder. It keeps these script conflicts from happening and really is an easier way to add a form.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

We are not running in a standard environment and rather not use ftp (its not even installed on our servers) and/or iframes.
RSD works perfect for us. We insert our own CMS placeholder code in html-elements.
Workflow for changes is: export, then copy and paste changed html and custom .css from export into our CMS panel and submit. That's it.

Hoped it would work the same with WFB (and it almost does actually, except for the jQuery conflict). We can live with the script, but still consider it a workaround.

Anyway, I appreciate your support. Thanks

It's easy to see, once you see it.

Hi, I just read this post hoping it would solve my problem, but even using a blank template I get the " The resource name is already in use or it is reserved" error message when trying to add the web form builder folders to the resources of RSD.

I added the script to an HTML box, and not settings/head just to let you know

Refer to this article here Giles on how to add a form to RSD.

Just to clarify......Is it still the case that we can't add form builder folders/files directly into the resources section RSD?
Thanks,

Not currently at this time. However if you use S-Drive, you can publish your form to our servers and embed the form with an HTML element. There would then be no need to include any files under the Resources.

You can find instructions on how to set that up here at http://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/ … -designer/
