Forms 101-FP2000

I have just completed a weekend event and I want to send out a satisfaction survey. Can someone walk me through this process. I wrote a survey but when I submit, it only shows "submit" in the txt file. Are there some sample surveys out there that I can model? Thanks.

Sounds like the form fields are not being posted. Try
buiding a new form with form wizard. Aslo can you post
your html code?

Make sure that all the form fields and everything are actually inside the
form. FP should show this as a dotted border around the form area. If the
fields aren't inside this form then they aren't submitted to the form
handler.

Hope this helps,

RK,

First off, go to Tools >> Page Options >> General and
uncheck "Automatically enclose form fields within a form."

This frequently causes problems, by producing multiple
form tags as in the case of your form.

As Anon suggested, the Form Wizard is a good way to go.
File >> New >> Page and choose the Form Wizard template.

Mark mentioned your fields may not be contained within the
form proper.

This is sort of what is happening. Only in your case, each
set of fields is in a separate form. The difference is
that the one containing the Submit button, only contains
the Submit button. Hence Submit is all you receive.

If you switch to HTML view, you will see numerous
beginning and ending <Form> tags. There should only be one
beginning and one ending.

Mark-

I tried to put buttons within the dotted lines, but when
Click to expand...
I preview them and click on them, the first row gets
erased by the second row click, then the second row gets
erased by the third row, etc.. I may be in over my
head. I appreciate your patience and help.
