Q: I have been playing with the Maintaining Form Content section so that previously entered data would be maintained. I unchecked the JS return and made the jsreturn = false. Then I was not even able to see the form at all. I reset the values back to what they were, but I still can't even see the form on the website. What did I do wrong ?

A: It sounds like you have corrupted the code ie broken it. This could happen if you edited the form file using a html editor (DreamWeaver, FrontPage etc) or Word or anything other than a straight text editor like NotePad. You must only edit with a text editor. Alternatively you have changed / removed a " or ' when adjusting the variables or done something similar in the form when you added the maintaining php code. Try rebuilding and you will be fine.

Q: I have a long form on a client's site and am using FormBuilder1 MYSQL. I have the form set to $jsreturn = "true"; yet if someone misses a required field when they return to the form via the button their previously entered data is no longer there. I want to make sure that we do not irritate people by having them lose their data previously entered when they are sent back to the form. Am I missing something here?

A: To ensure content is maintained in all cases (and is not browser function dependant) use the Maintaining Form Content function as outlined in the Help file see https://bizpep.com/form1/ .

Q: How much formatting is available for the results email? Is there a way to format the information to look like an existing paper form (a table with 10 columns and 12 rows)? Or is it limited to a linear listing of the fields in the html form?

A: The data email cannot be formatted as a table, it can only be sent as a listing (line by line).

Q: How do I set the defaults for First, Last name, email address, etc.. so that they stay as the defaults each time I open the software to build a form. Seems that this has to be done each and every time the software is used. The same is true the other goldmine default like processing style, data structure, etc.

A: The software does not remember default variable values. However these are simply the values applied to the variable values at the top of the processing code. Once you have built and saved one form with your required default values you can simply copy and paste these for reuse in any other form processing code you like.
