Here are some of the questions we are most frequently
asked about Smart-Form:
|
 |
Can I control the format of the
results that are
sent to me?Yes you can.
You can select to have the results sent as HTML, text, CSV data or
XML data. In fact, you can set multiple 'recipients' for each form
and each recipient can receive the results in a different format!
If you choose HTML then you can provide a 'HTML Results Template'
that determines how the 'results' HTML is formatted.

Can I have the visitor receive a copy of
the form they submit?Sure! Just create a field on your
form where the customer can enter their e-mail address. Call it 'DynamicRecipientUser'.
Be SURE to specify 'E-Mail Validation' for this
field so that the user is required to enter a valid address.
Next, in the Form administration area add a
corresponding 'Recipient' to the Form's Delivery Package and be sure
to call it dynamicrecipientuser (MUST BE all
lowercase).
Now, when your user enters their e-mail address, a copy will be sent
to the address they specified.

Can I pre-populate my form's fields with
run-time values?
Yes. The link that 'calls' your form
from your website can include the values that you want inserted
into the form before it is displayed
to the user.

My website uses 'FrontPage Extensions'
- will Smart-Form still work?
Yes, it will. Any FrontPage 'Bots' in your Smart-Form will not
function but your form and its validation will work with Smart-Form
once you have copied the form HTML into Smart-Form.

Does
Smart-Form show advertising on my forms?
The short answer is 'no', unless you hold one
of our original 'free' accounts which are no longer available.

Do
I have to know HTML to use Smart-Form?
No. You can use Quick-Form for many forms an
never touch the HTML because the administrative area will let you
use features like validation, help text and so on, just as if you
had used custom HTML.
You can also select form a growing list of pre-defined template that
can be copied to your account.
Lastly, if you need greater control, we are
happy to build your forms for you. We are fast, professional and
very competitively priced! We even
occasionally run a 'free custom design' promotion!

Do
I have to know JavaScript or other programming languages to use
Smart-Form input validation, help or other features?
No. You can do all of those things through the
administrative interface, without touching a line of code!
top
Can
I use my own custom JavaScript in my Smart-Forms?
Yes, at form submission time, once any
validation rules are passed, Smart-Form looks for a user-defined
function called 'ExtraUserValidation()'. If it exists it is
executed. It can do anything you like, provided that it returns true
or false.

Can
I accept Credit Cards with Smart-Form?
You can take credit card information online
with Smart-Form however we do not provide built-in online card
verification/processing and you are expected to use the Smart-Form
X509 encryption certificate to ensure that results being e-mailed to
you are secure.
You can integrate PayPal payment processing into your
forms by including the necessary PayPal HTML code in your
form. Integration of some other payment processing systems are also
possible, please contact us for further
information.
