Submit button doesn't show?...

Hi Eric,

From what i can figure, the white text that you can just see is the editable text, but it is missing the button graphics (it is just the standard submit button that form builder automatically uses with the default theme).

Sorry that was me playing around with it trying to get it to work! oops!


I have uploaded an unaltered (what form builder spits out!) version.

Still the same problem.... I was kinda hoping that it would miraculously work second time around...but no.

Go ahead and open a support ticket as this is very weird behavior.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I had the same issue, and the solution was ensuring the link url was correct

<input style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(forma/../../AppData/Local/Temp/FormBuilder/theme/default/images/btn_submit.png

needed to be

<input style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(forma/theme/default/images/btn_submit.png)

Hi, Scott and I have been discussing this in a support ticket. The problem with the graphics is that the HTML code generated by Web Form Builder is using an absolute path (to your local PC) rather than a relative path which is necessary for the server to find it. You'll have to edit the HTML code in the <body> section for now. Here's my example which is near the end of the generated code:

Generated code (the bolded part is incorrect):
<div id="fb-submit-button-div" class="fb-item-alignment-left">
<input style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(contactus/file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/David/Local%20Settings/Temp/FormBuilder/theme/default/images/btn_submit.png)"
id="fb-submit-button" class="fb-button-special" type="submit" value="Send Now"
/>
</div>

Fixed code:
<div id="fb-submit-button-div" class="fb-item-alignment-left">
<input style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(contactus/theme/default/images/btn_submit.png)"
id="fb-submit-button" class="fb-button-special" type="submit" value="Send Now"
/>
</div>

Note that your code WILL look different. I post this just so you can find the offending HTML. Yours will depend on the name of the folder you chose, where you put it, etc.

By the way, it has nothing to do with Windows 7 or 64bit. I am using Windows XP 32bit and have the problem. Also, if the images seemed to display at some point and not now, it may be because the graphic image was cached by your browser and the cache was cleared.

Was this never fixed?

Been struggling with this issue with a newly generated form thinking I was doing something wrong until I came across this post. Wasn't a problem with previous forms I've generated...?

I had this problem for one form and reset the style for that element and re-added the image and all was good.:)

I tried resetting mine and just for the record it did not work. BUT...

Do not dispair as they have found the problem and it should be fixed in hopefully the next update which will hopefully not be too long from now :)

Yes, tried resetting the style many times and this hasn't worked for the form I'm working on now.

Looked at David's solution but the generated code already looks likes his solution so can't see that work...

Hopefully there is an update soon
