Field Description
Working with HTML Forms
Tool Tip Text Enter text that appears if a site visitor hovers the cursor over this field
(circled in red below).
Default value If you want to set a default value for this field, enter it here. For
example, if this field collects a city, and most users enter New York,
enter New York as the value.
A site visitor can change the default value while completing the
screen.
Allow multiple lines Check this box if you want this field to scroll vertically to allow the
person completing the form to enter as much text as needed.
Note: This setting cannot be applied if this is a Password field.
Cannot be changed Check this box to prevent the person completing this field from
changing its content. For example, you want to display a license
agreement.
Below this field, you might place a check box prompting the site
visitor to check it to indicate he has read the agreement.
As another example, you could provide instructions for completing
the screen.
Invisible Check to make this field hidden. This option lets you store unseen
information in each document. An example might be putting a
version number on the form.
If you apply this property to a form, the Allow multiple lines and
Cannot be changed fields are automatically checked and cannot be
unchecked. Also, the Validation tab is disabled.
Password field Use a password field when you want the user to enter a password. A
password is like a text field but the user’s entry is disguised. This
prevents an onlooker from seeing the password.
Passwords cannot exceed 18 characters.
