I dont believe it..that actually worked! Why do you think firefox and IE was having problems with the script? security settings?

now im going to test it to make sure the data gets in my database...i'll keep you posted

The form should work. I've tested in WAMP.

Well that happiness was short-lived. Now the data isn't going into my local mysql database. I know the settings in form builder are correct. I'll try messing around in the source file and see what I can see

Oh, another thing..the confirmation page doesnt show. In formbuilder I selected the default radio button for confirmation message. This software is beginning to be much more of a pain than its worth. Perhaps I should have just stuck to hard programming html forms...ugggh

Can't blame the form builder.
Make sure the permissions is setup correctly.

what do you mean by permissions? The form that i was using before this software (just regular hmtl form I built) worked fine. Anyways, here is the error code I'm getting in the error log:

Wed, 21 Aug 2013 04:24:02 +0000: Failed to insert data in from table: [0] 42S22 [1] 1054 [2] Unknown column '_submitted_' in 'field list'

Wed, 21 Aug 2013 04:24:02 +0000: Failed to parse HTML form.

Why is there a column called submitted? There shouldn't be.

I managed to get the data into the mysql database. I had to drop the existing table and let formbuilder build it on its own.
I'm still getting the following 2 errors however:
Wed, 21 Aug 2013 04:24:02 +0000: Couldn't open or read: C:/xampp/htdocs/forbidden/budget/bform.html
Wed, 21 Aug 2013 04:24:02 +0000: Failed to parse HTML form.

I checked folder permissions, and everything is full control. What a mess this turned out to be.

This why most people use outside hosting. It's incredible how many settings have to be set correctly to make all these things work with each other correctly.
Were the other forms you were using in xampp html forms or php forms. It might be as simple as changing the form html to a php extension.

As another note, please remember...with Web Form Builder you never create the database tables. WFB will create them the first time the database is accessed.
