Thread: forms

Hi team,

I'm now a paying member. I think because I didn't subscribe for a while all the work I did on building disappeared off my files. Was there a time limit on this or another problem?

Now I'm rebuilding my pages from scratch. I'd like to clarify about forms.

Do I need to have an email and name box if I'm inviting comments. Is the comment box enough since it will direct the commenter to the e-mail address designated, thus name and email will be there?

When a commenter double clicks the comment box he can write the message but it goes across on one line. I don't know how to set it so the length of the line is limited before the message goes to the next line down.

I think I should (as per David's advice) install a captcha program on my form page. I'm registered with ReCaptcha now but haven't had time to drill on the program. Any advice about where I might run into headaches when trying to install it on my form/comment page. And is it a good program?

Help appreciated, and thanks again for previous help. Shoemaker

Must have been another problem.....Your BV files should still be on your computer.......

You need a from address otherwise it will insert your email address...

try BV form wizard first, It might already contain a cachtpa.........if not
use Navaldesign's advanced form which does contains a cachtpa........

Check
