Hello,
I am playing with version 3.3.26 and it is great; cannot wait for version 4.0...
Three questions about Input controls inside a Form:
1. When I preview my form in a Browser, the tabbing order of the cursor (by pressing the Tab key) is the same as the order on wich I placed these controls on the Form. Is there a way to specify the tabbing order of these controls?
2. Inside my Form I have a submit button, when I press this button I can see all the controls in this form and the button itself being sent to the destination site. Is there a way to prevent the button to be sent to the destination site on the submit action?
3. If I placed a control outside a Form and them move it inside the From, this control is not actually "connected" to the Form, is there a way to do this?
thanks

Hello
1. There's no way of choosing a specific tabbing order but you can order them from top to bottom en left to right by choosing "tools, Sort Objects" in the menubar.
2. For handling forms I use ProcessForm. Within this script you can choose which fields and buttons not have to be sent. You can find ProcessForm here http://mindpalette.com . I don't know if there is an other way to fix this.
3. Select your out of the form control, cut it [CTRL-X], select your form en paste [CTRL-V] |

1- You can place every control into the form using the "Relative" positioning method so they will be ordered from top-left to bottom-right
2- Simply manage the OnSubmit event of the Form object and return false in order prevent the Form from be submitted
3- Exactly as Petran said |

Thanks Petran and Davide,
Davide, could you explain to me issue #2 one more time.
I clicked on the "Send Comments" button (this is one of the controls that I do not want to submit with the Form), I clicked on the Events property for this button, when I drop down the Events combo box I do not see a OnSubmit option...
I saw the OnSubmit option when I have the Form itself selected but I do not know what to do with it.
thanks
Roberto

Yes, the OnSubmit is a form event, it doesn't exist for button.
Please see the Help on the Form object ;-) |
