You can at least place an image inside the form and place all the neccessary objects (button, textfield, radiobutton and so on) on top of the image as long as you make either (the form elements or the background image) absolute.
A far as an example. Sample01 has a form in it take a look at that.
Now to the most important part. The script. If I were you, I would take 14 euro's out of my bankaccount[2 H:)] and buy FormsToGo.

I have been using this piece of software for a long time and you won't be disappointed with it's use. It's easy and works great.

h?, amigo Martin1 l/t/n/s
thnx, forms to go > gekocht > tomorow rty out
@s.dav ....stoeffer, aangeverke, gierigaard :-)
no hotkey to close the manager?
The man who can match the bckgrnd color (on a Flash item placement) must be a genius
we hate those white squares, bwek, jakkk, pfffff!
why are they white and not the same colour as the backgrnd?????
there must be a solution, some sites do not have that problem, sadly I can't find it :-(

Why would you need to point to the php file. What does this php file do?

Aha. Well this is the easiest part.
Open the dhe file with the form.
Select the form by clicking on it with your mouse.
Look at the properties panel and see where it says Action
Fill behind it formken++.php
Make sure the Method right below the action is set to post.
That's it. export your page and upload your php file to right place. If you haven't made any mistakes in either dhe or Forms to go it will work.
One small tip.
I strongly recommend to remove the + signs from the file name. So re-open your html page and your forms to go ftg file inside the Forms To Go program and change the name of the php file to something without the two + signs.
Added 1: The layout problem with the form has nothing to do with Forms To Go. Forms To Go just generates a script that is used when someone fills in your form. Nothing to with lay-out of the form itself.
Maybe you forgot to upload the correct css file?
Added 2:I had a look at the source and there is nothing pointing towards the use of a css file whatsoever but there is a line pointing to the php file.
You will need to remove this line and not remove the line that points to the css file, which line is added by DHE automatically.

As far as I can tell, and I am not sure, the settings at your host are not right. Because post is a normal method of moving information filled inside a form to a script.
You could always set the method in DHE to >>get<< instead of >>post<< and see where that leaves you.
But php IS supported by your host so don't worrie about that.
If you want to avoid spam (you can never completely avoud it I'm afraid, I suggest you look at http://www.bebosoft.com/support/kb/article.php?kwbid=102
another very easy and usefull solution is to add a seperate txt file and fill it with spam info you recieve in your mail box (mail adressess, those anoying viagra words and so on). Next time this info is used to send you spam it will be filtered and there won't be any mails send.
If you open Forms To Go and go to Settings, Stop words filtering you see that you use a txt file. You can also implement the words directly inside the php file but this never worked for me.
Added: I just saw in your screenshot that in the Action field in DHE you didn't include the extension php. You need to add that as well. So not just Formke01 but Formke01.php
So before you change the setting to >>get<< instead of >>post<< I would try to add the extension php to the action part in the properties panel and see if the script works then.

1 I was not interested in their spam thing, but in the fact that the mail 'to' and 'from' must be: a bjazz.eu mail adress, due to theat spam thing! >>see mail I recieved:
-------------------------------------------------------
mail from the hosting company:
Het e-mailformulier werkt waarschijnlijk niet omdat de afzender van het
mailtje wat er uit volgt niet van degene mag zijn die het formulier invult.
Dus afzender (from) dient het e-mailadres van uw site te zijn.
In de formuliergegevens die meegezonden worden kunt u het e-mailadres
wel opnemen van degene die het formulier invult, maar mag niet als
afzender gebruikt worden.

Nu snap ik het ook niet meer. Ik begrijp er geen bal van wat daar staat. Vraag het eens op het forum van Forms To Go daar weten ze vast meer.

You didn't create an error.html page. You need to create one.
You also need to create a success.html page.
Didn't you read the help file in Forms To Go?

Hey Waldorf don't waste your time/money!!
I found a nice gbook that doesn't need php/asp etc just HTML, here the code.. (for free)
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT>
function prev()
{
var kc=window.open('','joe',config='height=300,width=300')
kc.document.write("<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Preview</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><CENTER>")
kc.document.write("<FONT face='tahoma' color='blue' size='7'><U>")
kc.document.write("Preview</U></CENTER><FONT size='2'>")
kc.document.write("</CENTER>Name: "+document.gbook.Name.value+"<BR>")
kc.document.write("Email: "+document.gbook.Email.value+"<BR>")
kc.document.write("Website: <A href='"+document.gbook.Web.value+"' target='_new'>")
kc.document.write(""+document.gbook.WebName.value+"</A><BR>")
kc.document.write("Location: "+document.gbook.Location.value+"<BR>")
kc.document.write("Comments:<BR>"+document.gbook.Comments.value+"<BR>")
}
</SCRIPT>
<TITLE>
Thank you for Signing the Guestbook!!
</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="white" vlink="red" alink="green" link="blue">
<FONT face="tahoma" size="7" color="blue">
<CENTER>
<U>
My Guestbook
</U>
</CENTER>
<FONT color="red" size="3">
<FORM NAME="gbook" METHOD='post' ACTION='mailto:yourmail@yourmailserver.com?Subject=Signed Your GuestBook!!' ENCTYPE='text/plain'>
<CENTER>
[<INPUT type="submit" style="font-family:tahoma" style="border style:none" style="background:white" style="color:red" style="cursor:hand"value="Submit">
]
[
<INPUT type="button" style="font-family:tahoma" style="border style:none" style="background:white" style="color:red" style="cursor:hand"value="Preview" onClick='prev()'>
]
[
<INPUT type="reset" style="font-family:tahoma" style="border style:none" style="background:white" style="color:red" style="cursor:hand"value="Clear Fields">
]
</CENTER>
<BR>
Name: <INPUT type="text" size="10" name="Name"><BR>
Email: <INPUT type="text" size="15" name="Email"><BR>
Website Url: <INPUT type="text" size="15" name="Web" value="http://"><BR>
Website's Name: <INPUT type="text" size="15" name="WebName"><BR>

Comments:<BR>
<TEXTAREA COLS="40" ROWS="10" NAME="Comments"></TEXTAREA>
<BR>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Just copy & paste to an html area or in a new page called gook.htm (or whatever you want!)
Notes :
1. You can/must replace texts in "bold"
2. Change "yourmail@yourmailserver.com" for the email you want to catch the gbook's signs
3. If you want any help just write!!

Your welcome Waldorf[2 H:)] and I do like the blues. In fact I am currently trying to learn to play the blues harp. So keep your ears[4 0..0] open and listen carefully maybe you'll hear me.
Hello Edigital.
Waldorf wasn't looking for a Guestbook but an easy way to create mail scripts.

Hi Martin, Waldorf
You can use the script above like a gbook, email contact form, etc. Also you can design bakground, etc changing hmtl code.
Best regards! |

Hi, Hexagoners
Forms are ?no more? a mystery for me ?but >>
1. When I make a button, to go back, from my (oeps / no success) result page > to the form, all the form-fields are reset (witch is annoying for the customer)[2 H:..(]
2. When I do the same, but with Alt + <arrow, the page is not reset.
How can I make a button, that generates the same result as (2) > no reset?
(1)> happens, when I choose: link manager >link in project > the form in question.
We thank you
Me and Myself [3 yes]

I've made many and many (and many) pages with FORMs so I should be an expert ;-)
First of all I don't like application navigation buttons and I suggest you to avoid back buttons (in the page) where possible.
Question: How have you made the javascript code for going back?
the code must be a thing like (history.back() or history.go(-1)); obvioulsly if you recall the form page from the back button the page is reloaded and resetted ;-)
When you press the back button on the browser is the behaviour the same?
In every case the use of the cache in browsers depends on the server settings; it is possible setting the server saying "don't use the cache at all" so every time you press the back button (in the browser or in the page) the server reloads the page completely; maybe this is your case.
