*** Creating a form in iWeb?

I'm redoing my website using iWeb but would like to add a page with a form for clients to fill out (including drop down menus, radio buttons, etc.). So far I've been using RapidWeaver to do this, but I find it clunky and I'm not designing my entire site in RapidWeaver. If I create a form in RW and import or even link it in iWeb, then it won't look consistent. Is anyone familiar with any 3rd party app that can add these features to iWeb or is it just a limitation to the program?
Thanks in advance!

I want to create a form in IWeb can you help?

I need to create a form page in Iweb on my website for visitors to complete and submit back to me.
A Club membership application form.
Anyone able to help??

There are online form sites that you can use like JotForm, Wufoo, etc. Jotform creates some very nice looking forms which you can embed into an iWeb page. The free package gives you 100 submissions per month and 10 SSL secure submissions per month. Over those numbers you will need to pay a monthly fee.
Here are examples of Jotform and Wufoo forms: Embedding Forms
Or you can create your own Form Action form which uses the visitor's own email client to send the information. This is not best integrated method to obtain the information. An example of this type of form is also on the page linked to above.

You must be able to create a form in iWeb!!!!

I can't believe you can't make a form in iweb. someone must know a way around it. If someone knows the secret then please shed light.
Thanks

IWEB: Creating Membership Forms

Need help with creating membership forms on my site. I also wanted to have the members listed on the site, something like Facebook for example.
Any help deeply appreciated.
Many thanks

To add custom HTML to iWeb 1.x sites, see Chapter 2 HERE. Or consider using the free, web-based Ning as a "front-end" to your iWeb site — it offers _membership features_.

Can I create a sign-in 'form' in iWeb?

Can I create a simple 'form' in iWeb that allows visitors to 'sign in' or leave 'e-mail addresses' (that automatically get sent to my e-mail address)? No passwords or anything complicated.
Ben

No problem...
First, set up a free account at http://freedback.com/
Design a form on their site and select/copy the code they give you.
In your iWeb page, type something like FORMCODE where you want the form to go.
Open TextEdit - free text editor that comes with every mac.
To view the code in an HTML file, choose File > Open and select "Ignore rich text commands." Then locate the .html file and click Open.
(If you publish to your .Mac, mount your iDisk to find it. It will be located at iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/Sitename/Pagename.html)
Find your text, FORMCODE, and replace it with the code you get from Freedback. Save your work.
Remember, if you make a change to a page like this post-publishing, and later re-publish, you have to make the html changes all over again!
You could set up a Find/Replace command in MassReplaceIt (http://www.hexmonkey.brownhost.com/). It's a useful and FREE little program that makes all this post-publish editing MUCH easier and faster.

Creating forms for Iweb sites

MY question is about creating forms for iweb sites.
How do you do it?
I think I read somewere that you can't do this with iweb,
so I downloaded a free trial of rapidweaver, which will give me 3 pages for
the free trial, but it says you need php.
Which I don't know if I have php on my computer, my mac5 os x,
and I am not sure what php is.
If any one could explain how I can create forms on my iweb site
in a easy to understand point form.
That would be great!

Well I am certainly willing to try, if you could
explain how to do this
Thanks for your reply.
blueform,
If you found my first post to you helpful, please mark it as such. That way people will have an easier time searching for/with a similar question about this topic.
Okay, I can't go into all the dynamics of the process as each ISP may vary enough to make my description unusable. In other words, what works with my ISP may not work with yours. You'll need to check out your ISPes position and requirements as far as this goes.
The first and most important thing to check out is does your ISP allow you to use CGI scripting such as PERL or PHP. Many small locally based ISPes allow this feature. Some large ISPes in Canada such as Bell's Sympatico give you Web space but do not allow scripting.
Next, unless you are an accomplished programmer you need to find (ideally) a free script that allows you to e-mail a form. I generally recommend something from Matt's Script Archive The scripts are are simple, come with instructions and work fairly well. There is also PHP Junkyard. I use one of their scripts for a message board I have.
Be forewarned, there is a learning curve. Also, if your ISP permits these scripts, you will need an FTP client application to upload them once you have made any necessary modifications.
As an afterthought, you might Google around and see if anyone provides a service that might suit your needs. Usually in those cases all you need to do is enter some HTML code into your iWeb page. This is not a drag-n-drop process and requires some "under the hood" work. One last point. Most of the scripts that I've dealt with will require an e-mail address to send the completed forms. If all is done according to instructions, Spammers will never see the address (you set the permissions for the file that contains your e-mail address so that only the owner can read that particular file; the owner being you). Does this give you an idea of what is involved?

Creating an email form in iweb

Hello,
I would like to create an email form in one of my websites, the type in which you ask a question and sends you an email directly to your email address without having to open mail.
How do I go about it?
Thank you
Message was edited by: Allanfrance

Hello
I checked the services other members posted. All looks cool, but I would recommend you if you are interested to create this form yourself.
My idea is to create a predesigned form, converted to your needs and post it on the web then use simply an iframe to display at your iweb.
1-download trial Rapid Weaver.
create a contact form and publish to a folder.
open it in dream weaver. delete everything you don't need. -Side bars etc.
and save it.
2- upload contact folder on your site
3-IWEB
open iweb widgets
copy and paste following code
<IFRAME SRC = "*<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.YOURSITE/Contact/index.php">http://www.YOURSITE/Contact/index.php" WIDTH="460px" HEIGHT="405px" FRAMEBORDER="0" --if "0" no border, otherwise "1" with border MARGINWIDTH ="0px" MARGINHEIGHT="0px" SCROLLING="no" --"no" no scrolling bar, "yes" show always, "auto" showed when need > Your browser does not support IFRAME </IFRAME>
Change bold, and enhance width and height.
it is very simple, fast you can be done in 10 minutes. advantage is that you don't have to pay for any services.
It is not the best solution, but next version of Iweb should have more enhancements like this
Regards

I need to create a form on my website that viewers fill out and send to me on my iWeb created website. Is there a template or widget that can create fill-in forms?

I need to create a form that viewers can fill-in and send back to me from my website. I created the website in iWeb and would like a template or theme that has the form creator included. It there a widget? Sorry, I'm a novice.

If you want to raise your web design skill level above that of the average iWeb user, you can try creating your own. The actual form layout is fairly easy if you use CSS to style it since the amount of HTML is minimal now that table layouts are a thing of the past.
Here's some examples of forms created in iWeb...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iweb-snippets/form.html
The formmail.php script is probably the hardest part to get your head around and the example provided in the download on the above page uses a very simple one along with a formmail-thank.php.

Nowadays we need to consider mobile device users more and more so forms need to have the special inputs required to launch the various types of keyboard on these devices.
Here's an example of a form which responds to browser/device width. On mobile devices, the
jQuery UI Datepicker disappears to be replaced by the mobile version.
For those of you who don't have a mobile device to test it on, this page also has illustrations of the various keyboard types and the alternative date pickers...

Creating a forms

How on earth do you create forms within iWeb? Can't find it anywhere. I have created my initial web page but want to place a <Form Action="/..."etc. on it but can't seem to find a way to do it. For that matter, is there a way to tinker with the source code inside of iWeb? I can open the published file in GoLive and make changes, but those won't reflect in iWeb. Any help is appreciated.
Rick

You can't do what you want to do inside iWeb. You
can modify the html on a published page to add stuff,
but this will be erased if you edit the page inside
iWeb and republish, so the modification would need to
be repeated each time.
Yeah, I have pretty much discovered this. Very disappointing though as forms are really a basic feature. I hope this is something Apple can add in later. I will probably edit my code to include such things in GoLive. Now I just need to get a good book on CSS as it is much different trying to manipulate CSS code in GoLive than regular HTML output.
Thanks.

Inserting Forms into iWeb

Is there a way of inserting fill-in forms eg application forms into iWeb ?
Or, can someone give me a solution for producing an application form, apart from having a pdf form to download ?
Thanks
Anton

Yes. There are a couple of ways. 1 - use a 3rd party site like Wufoo to create the form and embed it into your iWeb page using the code from Wufoo and an HTML snippet. 2 - use Form Action code.
The following demo page shows each method and the code used: Embedding Forms & Encoding Email Addresses.

I created a website using iWeb, then published to MobileMe, how can i publish to iCloud?

I created a website using iWeb, then published to MobileMe, Mobile Me is now closed, how can i publish to iCloud?

iCloud does NOT allow you to host your web sites. You can continue to use iWeb but, will need a 3rd party web host to upload your websites to. Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like "www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder
I have been using IX Webhosting for several years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across. The have plans that start at $3.95 a mo (USD) and their customer service is top notch.

I am trying to create a form in acrobat pro 8 and it can't be filled in in reader 9

When I open the form in reader, it says it is a pdf/a file.and the form fields do not show up unless I go to edit/preferences in reader and tell it to never view documents in pfd/a mode. I am putting this document on my website for users to fill out, and don't want them to have to do that. How do I create the form that is not a pdf/a document? I have been messing around with this for a day and have not been successfull. I have an old document from last year that apparently is not a pdf/a document and it works fine. I cannot make this year's document open correctly in reader 9. http://www.houseofsweden.us/docs/DecNightsSignUps2009.pdf This is a very simple form created from a word document.

When originally creating the pdf, you would need to choose another pdf conversion setting. In Word if you use the pdf menu, change your settings there: Adobe PDF > Change Conversion Settings. I would use High Quality Print instead. If you use the File > Print method, click the Properties button next to the Adobe PDF printer selection.
For your already created form, you can change the file so your users will not encounter issues. In Acrobat 9, which hopefully is similar in process to 8: Advanced > Preflight > Profile tab > PDF/A compliance > Remove PDF/A information.(You'll have to unsecure your form first).
You can read about PDF/A files in the Help.

Error when create adobe form

Hi,
When i created adobe form, i found an error :
Could not start Layout Designer (see long text)
Message no. FPUIFB086
Diagnosis
The forms design tool for developing the form layout could not be started; either it is not installed or there are errors in the installation.
Procedure
Make sure that you have the forms design tool installed on your desktop (the tool is part of the SAPGUI installation).
Also read SAP Note 801524.
In my computer Adobe Life Cycle Designer 8.0 installed, why it happen?
Please help me.
Thank you.

Good to know — there is no such application as "Adobe XI".
"Adobe" is the name of the company.
"XI" is indicative of the use of either Acrobat XI or Reader XI.
Neither Acrobat XI Pro (for which Adobe provides a free, fully functional 30-day trial) nor Adobe Reader XI (the free to download and use PDF viewer that Adobe provides) have an "Export PDF" entry under "File".
"Export PDF" only is present in Adobe Reader XI over on the right on the "Tools" panel.
The "Tools" panel provides a way for a user of Adobe Reader XI to connect to various By Subscription online services (gotta pay eh).
Export PDF is one of these. A subscription lets you send a PDF file to the online internet service (aka "cloud" service). The service then exports to a supported file format (Word / Excel / ...) and the user selects / directs where the output file is to be saved on the user's local machine.
Of course to use any of the online subscription services one must have an active (paid up in full) subscription to the service.
So ---- As described the puzzle pieces don't fit eh.
What specific Adobe (the company) applications are you using?
Acrobat XI Pro? Adobe Reader XI? Both?
Be well....

I created a form, I want the email notices to go to several people. Why is this so difficult? It seems like they have to be a co-author/reader or something? I don't get it

I created a form, I want the email notices to go to several people. Why is this so difficult? It seems like they have to be a co-author/reader or something? I don't get it

This is crazy! I paid for this service to make it easier to create forms for a company that has had several acquisitions all over the globe. This was supposed to make it easy to create forms hosted on adobe so no matter what happens on all their servers, we would be safe using this forms service until we can integrate all acquisitions and build a permanent web site on a single server. Now I find out that even this is a major issue sending emails to team members, many I have never met so making them a collaborator or even setting up forwarded emails is not something I wanted to do. This service was advertised as simple and easily send notifications to many people. I am now frustrated and thinking this was a waste of money! Why is it like that?
