Hey,

Just lost a bundle of work.

I am on Joomla 1.5.23 and Chronoforms 4.0 RC3.11.

1 - I am using the wizard editor.

2 - I needed to add header text to a form after I completed it.

3 - I added a header text box. I then added html in the code window of the header text box.

4 - I then saved.

5 - However - I could no longer access the tabs "Events", "Form Settings", and "Legends"

6 - So I thought it best to delete the header box.

7 - That simultaneously deleted the contents of my whole form. A few hours of work.

8 - So I started rebulding and the same thing happened.

9 - I discovered that I needed to take out ALL div statements from the code in the header box.

Now it's working well - I just have to once again rebuild the form.

Just thought I'd let someone know.

Hi CB1,

I can't replicate this. <div> tags in the Header element appear to behave correctly.

Here's the code in question.... I altered some of the information. (Not the code though)

<div style="width:720px; padding-left:20px;">

Hi cb1,

I was able to copy and paste your code directly into a Header elememt with no problem (I reduced the image size to post here).

Bob

That's awesome to know that it can be done.

Now - I will make a copy of my form and try it again.

I will report back.

Attached are 4 screen shots put into one image file to illustrate what is still going on.

Now what is happening is when I put that html into the header text area:

1 - I still see the "Preview" tabs contents.

2 - I no longer see the "Events" tabs contents.

3 - I no longer see the "Form Settings" tabs contents.

4 - If I try to delete the Header Text Box - the whole form contents deletes itself.

Hi cb1,

It's messy here but everything still works OK (Joomla 2.5.1 ChronoForm v4 Rc3.2)

Try using a Custom Element instead - that doesn't show the content in the admin area (it has a more friendly label instead). Check the Pure Code box to suppress the ChronoForms formatting in the front end.
