have a hidden field that for some reason doesn't seem to make it down into the database. It's a key field so it's rather important. Even when I set the value to a constant [7777777] rather than a variable, it still doesn't appear. It appears correct in the form configuration as well as in the html file, [at least to my understanding]. Why might that be?
Unrelated Questions / Comments:
1) setting reCaptcha's color to the black scheme does no appear on the resulting form [at run time], but setting it to the red scheme does - this on a transparent form - don't know about non-transparent forms.
2) I see that you allow for updates to records with subsequent transaction ids, but not normally. I need to allow for updates to existing records and am thinking to change the code to allow inserts and then updates to the same record subsequently in the same logic where the current mysql insert is done. Need I do anything more? Might you allow for updates on subsequent releases?
3) Although several of your drop down table options can be populated with your Predefined Options, Countries fails [repeatedly] just after adding what appears to be all entries and then shuts down your application. I finally had to resort to rebuilding one of your predefined forms that already contained the needed country drop down selection option.
4) It would be nice if you would allow for both display and internal values for your drop down table feature given that, for example, as is the case with Countries, the table display values consume so much more space in resulting records as compared to each country's 2/3 by code.
5) Confirmation Emails insist on being aligned vertically rather than 50/50 horizontally. I prefer horizontal so as to consume less form space.
