WebPlus Essentials User Guide - Serif

248 Adding Dynamic Content
In addition, hidden fields can be added by right-clicking on the entire form and
selecting Edit Form Properties.... The dialog's Hidden Fields tab allows for
input of any number of hidden fields.
Editing form controls
Each form control type (buttons, text field, etc.) has different characteristics and
therefore different values for editing. Values can be changed as you create the
form or at a later time after the control has been added to the form.
The Form Wizard's Edit Control... button lets you modify the control during
form creation. Alternatively, the control can be edited later by right-clicking on
the form control on the web page and choosing the Edit option, e.g. Edit Text
Box.
Submission of forms
All forms have one thing in common—they must be submitted to allow data to
be collected. To do this you can either create a Submit Button unaided or more
usually use the ready-made button in the Form Wizard. The button needs to be
present on the form and is typically used with a Reset button to clear all form
controls of data.
Form data submission is possible via several methods.
No action
email
address
Form data is not submitted. This option is useful if you
want to temporarily disable data collection or if you haven't
yet set up scripting or Serif Web Resources. At a later time
you can edit the form (right-click then choose Edit Form
Properties...) and select a valid submission method.
Use this option to bypass the usual POST/GET submission
methods. When the Submit button is pressed the web
visitor's default email program is launched. The form data
(passed in a single string) is added to the email body and is
ready to be sent to the configured email destination.
Especially useful if there is no local or remote scripting in
place.
This is an unsecure submission method—any
private or confidential information will be not be
encrypted.
