I have a relatively simple ballot form created. For testing, I created a very simple page with header and footer only with the form embedded on the page.

The form displays properly when run on our regular hosting service (Hostmonster) and on my Synology NAS server on my internal network. But on a standalone Windows 10 system running XAMPP as web server, the form area is the proper size, but totally blank.

I am not using a SQL database to store the form results, only a CSV file, which works properly. The PHP version is 5.5 on Hostmonster, 5.6 on the Synology NAS, and 5.6 on the Win10 XAMPP server (which doesn't work).

I've been working on this for several days and can't figure out why the Win10 box won't display the form! I've tried several different browsers and they all show the blank form area so I don't think it's a browser issue.

If I can provide more information to help solve this, let me know.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Ronald,
Did you check for errors using your browser? Are you using the iframe code for embedding? If so then try removing the script surrounding it.

Hi Eric, thanks for the reply. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you; I forgot to subscribe to the thread.

The page renders properly in all browsers I tried, no errors displayed. It's just that the form area is blank, but properly sized.

I AM using the iframe code copied into my HTML page from the File/Export/Manual Server Setup menu.

There is a section with <script></script>. If I remove that, the form seems to displays properly. I tried it on all my different servers and it seemed to work OK. I don't have the rest of the pages coded yet so I don't know about redirect or confirmation messages yet.

I'm using the Version 2.5 Build 5437 of WFB. Forms I've done with earlier version (2.4?) all seem to work OK. Should I ALWAYS be removing the <script> part of the embedded forms code now? If so, why does it show up in the "copy to clipboard" box on export? I'm just a bit confused.

Thanks for your help - greatly appreciated as always!
Ron

If it works with the script you can leave it. I can't remember why XAMPP blocks the form from displaying but your form should function fine without the script.

I did a bunch of digging into XAMPP forums and haven't been able to find out what is blocking the Javascript, or why. It's not important that I use the XAMPP server for this project so I've decided I'm spending too much time trying to get it to work. I'm going back to using the production web host and working in a non-public directory.

Eric - thanks for pointing me in the right direction as to the cause of this issue. My faith in Coffee Cup is restored.

I'm not considering that the problem is solved, just avoided.
