About the demo form
Our demo form is an example of a very simple contact
form. You can of course create far more complex forms
than this with Web-form-buddy, and it's easy to
bolt-on extra functionality for secure SSL forms,
file uploads, payment by check,
credit card, PayPal and
Worldpay, and even CAPTCHA tests to stop
the bad guys from abusing your forms.
The look and feel is entirely up to you!
The way this page looks is not
dictated by Web-form-buddy (unlike all other
"remotely hosted" form solutions). In the case of
this particular web page, the colors and style of the page
are set by the little CSS section in the
<head> area of the HTML code. But you
can design a page like this in any way you choose using
your favorite web authoring software, and it will work just
fine. All you need do is point the form to your
Web-form-buddy script. And what does that mean? Well
take a look at the form tag in the HTML source code of this
demo web page. It looks like this:
<form
action="http://www.smallgreentree.net/cgi-bin/forms/2913630.cgi"
method="post" name="wfb">
That's your script right there:
"http://www.smallgreentree.net/cgi-bin/forms/2913630.cgi".
When you want to set up other forms for your web site, you
just ask Web-form-buddy for another script, point
the new form at the script and you're good to go!
What features are enabled for this demo form?
To give a taste of what Web-form-buddy can do, we've
enabled a few popular features for this form. You can
modify these and add additional features from your
Web-form-buddy control panel.
- Several of the fields are "required"
fields. Try hitting the submit button without
entering your name. Notice what happens: the problem
field is highlighted and and a "help" message
is displayed. If you design large forms that scroll
down the page, Web-form-buddy automatically
scrolls to the problem field in order to make life as
easy as possible for your web user!
- The email field is checked for
validity. As well as a basic test test to
check that the email field "looks" correct,
Web-form-buddy also performs a real-time
network test to ensure that there is a mail server
running to accept delivery to that email address.
- The form completes with a confirmation
screen and CAPTCHA. This is an optional
feature that allows your web user to check their data
before confirming their form submission. Your web site
visitors will thank you for this, but this two-stage
process is also highly effective in deterring spammers.
And just to be doubly sure, Web-form-buddy has
an optional CAPTCHA system that will
completely prevent automated submissions through your
web forms.
- Auto-responder message. Once this
form is completed, Web-form-buddy will send
your website visitor an automatic email message on the
lines of "Thank you for your form submission. We
will reply shortly". The contents of this message
are fully configurable from your control panel.
- "Smart submit" button. This is an
optional feature that both looks good and serves to
prevent duplicate form submissions. Once the submit
button is pressed, the button is disabled and flashes
slowly to indicate that the form is being submitted.
Without this feature it can happen that someone with a
poor Internet connection and a slow computer will push
the submit button several times.
- Real time data. This is enabled
with the option to show your website visitor's IP
address.
