Text Box

The Text Box icon is typically for user-entered-information such as name, address, phone, email, etc. Once a form has been added to a page, click in it. Then, click the Text Box icon. It will bring up the Text Box Properties dialog box, seen below.
Enter a Name. This is important as it will be used to identify each title of the form's information. For an example: a title could be named "Address" or "Text Box." When the form is submitted, we place each piece of information under a specific title Name. When the form is submitted, you will get all its data from Reports. For more about Reports, see the bottom of "Example of a Form," or click here.
Select Type:
Character Width determines how wide the text box will be. The default is 20, but that can be edited to make the box narrower or wider.
Maximum Characters limits the number of characters a customer may enter.
Default text is the message that will be shown in Published Mode. An example could be: "Enter your email address here." As the visitor begins to enter the email address, the default text will erase itself. You can customize your default text by following Steps # 7 & 8.

7. Font Settings: If you'd like to choose a font style for your default text, click the gray button next to "Clear" .

The screen shown below will appear. The first dropdown offers different fonts. To see the actual style of the font,

scroll to the font's name and click. The style will appear in the white box that, in the example, is showing the

font "Comic Sans MS".

8. You also have the ability to choose the font style, the font size, and the special effects of Underline and Strikethrough.

9. Click "OK" to save, or "Cancel" to leave the screen without saving. You can also cancel all

choices by clicking the "Clear" button .

10. Mark this field as required is chosen when the field is necessary. If the form is submitted with missing

information, the form will reappear with a reminder of what needs to be completed.

11. Show a message in a new line. If this is checked, and the form is submitted with missing information, the form will show a

reminder on the next line. The movement from one line to another helps to catch the visitor's attention.

12. Click "OK" to save.

13. Click "Cancel" to cancel the entries.
