Thread: Printable Form

Hi,

I am new to BV & would like to know how I can achieve the following:

We will be advertising our house for rental, www.ourdordogneholiday.co.uk & would like a booking form that the client can print, complete & post to us along with their deposit. I have looked at the tutorials but the form builder from BV is not exactly what we need. Our booking form will give us information such as: number of guests & ages, dates/weeks required, contact info for clients etc. Is there a way of creating a printable form in BV or should I try to create one in word, if so, how do I then get a word document onto my booking form page in my website?

Thanks,

Hi, for just a printable form you can create one using the form tools of the form menu bar. LINK to see result.

But you would be better off having a form that reply s direct via email. & if you wanted an extra button to allow the end user to print a well.

Worth a look at this thread LINK to see if making a form would be better. If it seems a bit daunting, you can always ask Naval to install it for you. (He is very reasonable).

Good luck.

O.K,

Well I've managed to create a form in BV but cannot understand any of the threads which tells you how to install a print button. Can someon please explan it to me in basic terms as reading all the threads has now got me really confused!!!

Thanks you very much from a very dumb blonde!!!!

Hi, pop the code below the line in a html box & preview for a test.
With a print button it is worth popping a note on the page suggesting
Ctrl & P
or
file>print page.
As some of the codes wont work in old browsers.

<SCRIPT Language="Javascript">

function printit(){
if (window.print) {
window.print() ;
} else {
var WebBrowser = '<OBJECT ID="WebBrowser1" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0 CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2"></OBJECT>';
document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeEnd', WebBrowser);
WebBrowser1.ExecWB(6, 2);//Use a 1 vs. a 2 for a prompting dialog box WebBrowser1.outerHTML = "";
}
}
</script>

<SCRIPT Language="Javascript">
var NS = (navigator.appName == "Netscape");
var VERSION = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
if (VERSION > 3) {
document.write('<form><input type=button value="Print this Page" name="Print" onClick="printit()"></form>');
}
</script>

Hi Chris,

Have added my print button then right clicked to get to HTML but which tag do I insert the script, before tag, inside tag or after tag?

Cheers,

Hi, no button needed. Open a BV html box (top left side menu) Place on page & d/Click on the box. You will get a html properties box appear. Pop the code above in this box & press ok. Preview page.

You can do whatever you like. Please note that you will need a VH hosting account, not only a domain name.
Purchasing a hosting account, you also get a domain name registration for free.
