Email form to Website owner -Format Options

CritterLes 19 Aug, 2012
I'm using the Email option to email a form back to an owners website. Personally I don't mind the compact minimal format that the email uses. I did rearrange it a bit so the Field Title is n front of the Field content but that is about it. I have a friend that I am working on her site and she is a bit picky. She would like the exact same format of the original form. People can print the form, fill it out and then mail it in but that takes the convenience out of having the form on line.
Is there a way to copy the actual Form Format into the Email output? I know I could write a lot of code but I would love an easier way if it's there. Any alternative solutions are also welcome.
Thank you
Les

Hi Les,

You can use any HTML + CSS you like to create the Email Template. The Auto Generate button just makes a table - as best it can - from the labels and values in the Form HTML. I'm not sure why you get misplaced labels though - are they from Checkbox or Radio Button groups?

If you want to copy the form Format then do View Source in your browser and copy the code between the <form . . . > and </form> tags then paste that into the Email template and replace the inputs with the {input_name} tags. (Probably easier to do in a text or HTML editor.)
