Form Changes

I want to use a service that will look after all my forms (that I created in Freeway). It’s very reasonable and saves the headaches of looking after everything myself. They ask that I alter the first line of code on the form. Is there anyway to overwrite the first line of the form that says “Form action =”, either on the form page or in an iframe, or is there a better way to do this. Thanks for any suggestions.

How are you creating your forms?

If you are using Page>Form Setup that is exactly what you are doing ie changing the first line.

Under the Form tab the options are

Method: Get or Post

Action: usually the path to the form handler

These are likely to be the specific areas that your service want you to change.

If you are using the PHP Feedback form action then the control is different as a lot of the options are Hard Wired.

So stick to the standard Page>Form Setup and put in what they want.

Doh! Never imagined it would be sooooo simple. Thanks.

Next question. I have an ASP program I am testing for my site’s links (on a Windows server). It looks great now in an iframe because it fits wonderfully on the page. But the number of links will continue to grow. I have read through all the stuff I could find on incorporating something like this on a Freeway page, but am more confused than ever. Do I stick with the iframe and let it grow scrollbars or is there a way to have the length of the page be determined by the “include asp” file’s size?

If you make the outer page (the one that currently has the iFrame on it) also into an ASP page, then you can use an ASP include to bring the ASP navigation into the main page using a server-side include. The net result will be that the two pages will merge and become one. So your navigation area will grow and push the page down.

This works great. Thanks again.

Except for … how do I get the footer to be included at the bottom of the page? I tried it as a SSI but I can’t get it to position right. I’ve read all the talk on footers and haven’t found a solution yet that I find works. Any suggestions?

P.S. - If you use the add footer space action, how do you link the footer that actually goes in that space? Or is it for text only. Just curious.
