7. To insert the form at a default size, position the form place
cursor and click the mouse.
If you're looking for design freedom, WebPlus provides a blank form and form
objects from which you can design your form from scratch. You can add form
controls or standard form objects, or both. See WebPlus help for more details.
To create a custom form (via Form Wizard):
1. Click the Form Wizard on the Web Objects toolbar's Form
flyout.
2. In the dialog, click the Create a new form with the wizard icon and
then Next>.
3. In the next screen, you need to add form controls that will make up
your form. In the Add box, either:
• For a ready-to-go form control, click the Pre-defined button, and
pick your chosen form control. You'll need to double-click the
new control in the window to name the control.
OR
• Click on one of the other form controls to create from scratch.
See Form controls on p. 245 for a description of each control.
4. In the dialog, use the internal name for the control (to uniquely
identify it), or edit it and enter a label to accompany the control (this is
shown on-screen). You can also edit the control by using the Edit
Control button. Editing a control allows validation, control of form
length, and other control attributes to be set. See Editing form controls
on p. 248 for more information. If you've edited a value, click OK.
5. Repeat the above for each chosen form control as needed. They will
be listed (in order of creation) in the upper window.
Before continuing, you have to add a Submit form control to your
form. This is vital to pass data to its destination. Click the Submit
Button to automatically add the button to your form. It is normal
practice to accompany this with a Reset Button, used to clear out
form fields of data not yet submitted. Click Next>.
