Joomla 1.5.26
JCE 2.0.20
Chronoforms 3.1 RC5.5
I cannot get a new form to display in a new article.
Symptoms:
**When saved, "{chronocontact}formname{/chronocontact}" (no quotes) displays as text. I check the article's code and it keeps changing to "<p>{chronocontact}formname{/chronocontact}<p/>". I can't eliminate the paragraph code. I delete it, save the article, it gets applied again.
**Older forms are working and displaying properly.
**I tried copying the code from an older page that contains a working form and place it in a new article. I get the same paragraph issue.
**But I CAN place the new {chronocontact}formname{/chronocontact} code in some older articles and it will display properly. Of course, that does the customer no good.
**The only place I can access the form is via the link in the Form management section. I can test the form, get email results, find the results in the DB table, etc.
Based of forum and Google searches, I've tried all sorts of combinations of enabled / disabled editors, editor plugins, mootools, etc and have had no succcess.
I've found references to this issue in other posts, but none had a solution.
I have no programming skills, so I'll thank you in advance for replies in plain english (haha).
Also, If my only alternative is to upgrade to the latest version of Chronoforms, will I have to recreate existing forms and tables?
Thanks Folks!

Hi heywood11,
If you view the article in the HTML view, where you can see the <p> tags and replace them with <div> tags that should prevent the <p> tags form reappearing. In strict HTML <form> tags are not allowed inside <p> tags and some browsers enforce this.
If you upgrade then you will probably have to recreate the forms, not the tables though.

Please see this FAQ about showing a form in an article, it's about CFv4 but also applies to CFv3
