Q: Is there a place that talks about how to do a multi-submission and recall the selections made on page one to fill some of the fields for page 2?

A: You can use the basic structure outlined in the Maintaining Form Content section of the Help file https://bizpep.com/form1/ . Basically you set the field name on the second form the to the same as the field name on the preceding form from which you want to source the field value. Then use the Maintaining Form Content code in the second page field to capture and display the previous field value. Hope this make some sense.

Q: Is there a way to have a selection that you make from one field from a drop down menu fill out the field in another part of the form. For example: I have a list of products in a table. There are two fields - Product_name and Unit_Price . When the user selects the option from a drop down with the a product_name can the Unit_Price for that Product be filled into the form automatically? If so, what would be the best way to do it?

A: To do this on a single form it would be best to use javascript (you would need to develop a small script specifically for this function). An alternative could be using a multi form process where the value is passed from one field to the next on form submission. This would use php (and not depend on the user having javascript enabled) but would increase the complexity of the form and require a multi stage submission process.

Q: In the email that is sent as a result of the form being filled out I want to use a different value for the field name that will include spaces. For example I have a follow up field right now using this code: name="FollowUp" . In the e-mails this results currently in: FollowUp: Yes . I would like to be able to show it in the e-mails as: Follow Up: Yes

A: In the field names you can use underscores ie _ instead of spaces. When the name is displayed in the emails etc the _ is replaced with a space. So use name="Follow_Up" and this will display as Follow Up: Yes.

Q: Lately, the past 2 months at least, I was getting at least 1 or 2 emails a day that were full of links...obviously spam! Over the past couple weeks I started getting that awelrj@mysite.com. Today I've had at least 15 of those emails and 3 of the one with links (from free sites like blogger.co and freeweb.com etc). Anyway, my 2 sites are ..htm and I'm not a programmer. I can build a basic site but since I use javascript to validate and my form is just like what you talked about in the hijacking article, "<form action="http://www.mydomain.com/process.php" method="post">. In this example the form processing script would be http://www.mydomain.com/process.php." So, I'd say it's pretty obvious that my form (and server?) is being hijacked. I didn't even realise this until I read your article and my host is not much help. I'm here asking for help. I'm willing to pay for either your time, your product(s), or both. I simply need to resolve this asap. I've contemplated switching my site to php but afraid it'll hurt my search engine rankings. Anyway, sorry to blabber on. Is there anything you can suggest? Should I recreate my form with your Form1 Builder software? I have to change my forms every few months according to the demands of the merchants I send data to so if I used a new form, I would have to be able to change it now and again.

A: You can use the Form1 processing script with your existing forms. ie simply use Form1 Builder to generate the processing script, upload it to your server (as long as your server supports php) and adjust the form action of your forms to point to the processing script. See the Form Action Method section of the Help file https://bizpep.com/form1/ for details. You do not need to convert your site to php it can remain exactly as is but you do need to have a server that supports php to run the processing script. This approach will allow you to incorporate all the anti spam / hijacking features of Form1 processing. An alternative is our hosted form processing service https://bizpep.com/host.php . This uses the Form1 processing but it runs on our server so you do not need php at all. This could also provide a an easy and quick suitable solution. Either of these solutions will provide improved protection for your forms.

Q: Is it possible to print the contents of the end user's form submission (what they entered into the form fields, including checkboxes) in the Auto Responder Message that they receive?

A: If you mean send the submitter a copy of the form results you can do this using the Defined Email Copy Form Field this will send a copy of the form data email to the submitter which can be printed (it is in the same format as the data email sent to the delivery email address). See the Help file https://bizpep.com/form1/ for details.
