I have a client who has multiple people sending forms in on a regular basis. With previous form software, I could have a few of the fields already filled in with an individual's personal contact information when he/she landed on their page. Essentially, I had a unique web page/form for each person with some of their personal contact information already filled in to make the process faster for them.

For example, www.website.com/form-bob.htm would have Bob's contact information already filled in and he'd fill in the rest of the order information.

Same thing with www.website.com/form-jane.htm where her info is already filled in, waiting for the rest of her order info.

Is this possible to do with Web Form Builder? I see Placeholder, but upon submission, it's telling me it won't submit because it's a required field. Will this stay filled in with the placeholder if I remove the required tag?

Thanks much.

The place holder text is not submitted with the form results. It is only there when the program loads and the information will be deleted as soon as you enter text. What you would do here is manually adjust the HTML page for each form that the software produces and just enter that information in there. It should (I think) then work.

For what it's worth six months later, and for users who aren't HTML-savvy, Web Form Builder doesn't include the attribute for each field that you want to do this for. Just like you have a



attribute currently, you'll need to add (using a text editor like TextWrangler)



for each field you want pre-filled. Actually, just change "placeholder" to "value" in the Form Name/Form Name.html file.

Also, please be sure to post that changing files outside of the program risks that you may overwrite those changes later so you need to always keep a backup of your changes so you know what to put back in each time you upload the form. Granted, not every file does get overwritten, but a good majority of them will. Should always warn people about that when you suggest external file changes outside of the programs that CC creates
