ChronoForms v8 is now WordPress ready, ChronoMails is out

Form wizard - is it more than an html-generator?

Grover002 08 Aug, 2010

Hi,
I am building some forms now and thing work out fine. But using the wizard can become a slow process once you have to build a series of forms. Also not all markup/layout can become just as I would like.

So I consider to skip to good old HTML coding. But before I do that....is there anything else the wizard generates? So if I cut and paste my HTML source code, can I still use the "create table" function, which I like a lot?

Thanks!

Hi Bas,

The Wizard is good for sketching out quick forms but can be long-winded for more complex ones.

You can copy any HTML you like into the Form HTML box as long as you don't include <form>, <head> or <body> tags. For the book I successfully used form code from the Wufoo form-builder, from Google, and from DreamWeaver.

Remember also that you can duplicate forms and copy code chunks from one form to another.

HI Bob,

First experimments seem to produce the desired results. I took the wizard-generated HTML and adjusted it to what I need, with some additional CSS. Fortunately the generated HTML is very clear and clean.

Cheers,
Bas
