HTML Code Forms
N/A
Rather than hosting your form you create with us, with "HTML Code Forms",
code is generated for you to "cut & paste" to your site; so there is never any need for users
to leave your site.
Text Boxes
These are commonly used for getting
user input such as their name, email, address etc
Maximum
Characters Allowed (Text Boxes)
N/A
This is useful for
setting a maximum amount of charcters a user may type
in this text box; such as setting the max to 10 characters
for phone number fields.
CheckBoxes
These are generally used for giving
the user fixed answers they can pick from & having
it so they can pick multiple boxes; such as picking
multiple interests.
"Pre-Checked"
CheckBoxes
These are useful
if you get your users to fill out a form on your site
& you want to "pre-check" the box that
asks if they want to subscribe to your mailing list
for example.
Radio
Buttons
These buttons are commonly used when
you want to supply multiple answers the user can select
but they will only be able to select one response for
the question.
"Pre-Selected"
Radio Buttons
Sometimes you may
want to set a default selection on your radio buttons
to make the forum quicker for users to fill out; such
as by pre-selecting the most common answers for them
by default & then they can easily change it to any
other selections if they wish.
Select
Boxes
These are like a combination of checkboxes
& radio buttons all in one. They can be used so
the user can only select one option (drop-down selection)
or they can be used so the user can select many options.
The advantage to these boxes are they save screen space.
Default
selection
(Select Boxes)
N/A
This is another useful
feature which can save your users time whilst filling
in your form. Say you have a country selection field;
using this feature you can get it to display "United
States" by deafult, since this would be the most
common answer in most cases.
Text
Areas
These are used when you want the user
to give their own answer & have a lot of space to
type in; such as a area for them to write comments on
your site or a place where they can write their message
if you're using a form so your users can email you.
Required
Form Fields
N/A
These are very useful
for making sure the user that is filling in your form
fills in each question you want them to. The user won't
be able to submit the form without first filling in
all your required form fields (unless they disable JavaScript
in their browser).
Password
Form Fields
N/A
These are recommended to be used whenever
the user is filling in any password fields or anything
else you may want to hide. You most likely have used
these type of fields yourself online where whatever
the user types is replaced by "*" characters
on screen to hide what they're typing.
Use
different email addresses
N/A
This feature is useful if you run more
than one site. So if you make 2 different forms for 2
different websites, then you can get the results sent
to you @ different email addresses if you so wish.
URL Tracking
N/A
All the URL's to hosted forms you create with "HTML
Forms Pro" will be tracked & will be available
to you via a link on your account page.
Option
to remove ads
N/A
Unlike HTML code forms (where you
create your form & just cut & paste the code
onto your site) hosted forms have on-going hosting costs
which a one-time fee just won't cover long term.
So, we thought we would give you the choice of not
paying any extra, but by having ads served on your form
pages or by paying a very minimal yearly fee to cover
our costs & then you can host an unlimited amount
of forms with us.
Submit
Button
This is what users
use to submit your form.
Reset
Button
Reset buttons enable the user to click
the button to clear everything they have typed in the
form & start over again. It's best not to use one
of these on most forms as users may accidently hit it
instead of the submit button & then may not want
to fill in the form again.
