Two forms on site causing conflicts

Two forms on site causing conflicts

Hi,

I have two forms on the one site but every time I make a change to one of them, the other one changes also. For example on the first form, the form width was 600px and then when I created the second form, this width was 370px so the first form changed to be the same.

Can anyone tell me how I can avoid these conflicts and how to fix them?

Appreciate any assistance.

My guess is that they are using the same stylesheet. You could edit the one form and save it as a completely new style in the design area of the CSS Form Builder in order to create a separate instance. Make sure when you edit the form, that you check the box to save as a preset and then give it a new name.

Regards,

Brian

Yes that was the answer - thanks very much.

Just in addition to this, I have a drop down menu with a list of countries - is it possible to make a certain country the default so that if they're in that country they don't have to go to the trouble of choosing one?

To do that, you would have to dynamically code the options to add the selected="selected" code into the select option that you want to be selected for each user. You'd have to get what country the user lives in and then use that to find which value should be selected.

I didn't want to have a different country for each user, I just wanted the one country since most of the users will be from that country. Would I still need to dynamically code the options or is there an easier way?

In design view, if you click on your select list to select it, you should be able to click on one of the options in the 'Initially selected' items in the properties inspector/panel.

Otherwise, in code view, you can insert selected="selected" in to the appropriate option value:

<option value="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</option>
<option value="United Kingdom" selected="selected">UK</option>

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were going for. For the option that you want to be selected as the default, you could either add it to be the first option in the list or set the selected="selected" property for that option.
