Greetings,

I am trying to embed a form created with "web-form-builder-trial-win-en-2.9-..." this evening into a page created with a registered version of "rsd 2.5" without any luck. I obtained the embed script, created my html element, copied the embed script and pasted it into my rsd field associated with my created html emement. I am using the Foundation Theme "Technologic" for this project. When trying to view via browser local drive and or uploaded export of project, it is not there. I uploaded a generic static plain jane html page with the form embed code and it works fine. I have plans to purchase this form builder software so I don't have to use my s-drive account, etc, but i am at a lose what am I not seeing?
Thanks,

Jerry

When embedding a form in a RSD site you need to upload the contents of the exported form folder separately. It cannot be included into the RSD resources, because the form uses php files. I don't know if you are aware of this.

If you want to be able to preview your form while designing change the iframe src to absolute.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Eric,

Thanks for the tip. I have fiddled with it tonight till i'm blue in the face. I just now came back to the forum and checked back in. I'll give it more endeavor tomorrow when I am fresh with coffee in my hand.
thanks again everyone,

Linger / Eric,

I finally got this form working. It was a matter of making sure all the exported files and folders were located in the same directory. After this trial version expires and I buy into the paid version, I may have to come back with a few more questions. I don't see Bluehost on the list, but I still believe all will work out via database setup.

Have a good night,

Jerry

You''ll be fine with Bluehost as that's the host I have most of my sites on.

Jerry,
I'm used to seeing various spellings of my name, since it is not an English name. Your variation is new to me, though ;)
