Is it common to build forms using FB, but then copy and insert into existing pages?

[Stevebo]

I have the look and feel for all my web pages currently completed. Is it common for developers to create the basic forms using Web Assist and then copy and paste them into the location where they would go in a previously designed and completed page and then muck with the css to make it fit, OR, just insert the form in the previously designed page and muck with the CSS to make it fit?

RESOLVED

thanks,

You would probably find that the easiest process would be to use CSS Form Builder to modify the page directly. If that page already has a form on it, CSS Form Builder will import all the ids for those fields, allowing you to simply specify what type of form element they need to be. Then add any additional fields, and design everything.

When finished, CSS Form Builder will replace the existing form with the new one you created. In most cases, this will also maintain the submit/insert functionality that may have previously existed.

We have a How To that you may find useful called Modifying an existing form with CSS Form Builder on the CSS Form Builder Support page http://www.webassist.com/support/css-form-builder/.
