I need to add more selection fields to form

I need to add more selection fields to form

I will like to add more fields to the contact form built using CFB. This is so that visitors can click on the appropriate selection box to indicate the area of their needs.

Q: How do I make this happen??


Thanks,

Michael

You can use the CSS Form Builder interface to edit the elements in the form and add in the ones that you need. The idea is that you click on edit contents with the form selected. Then in here you click on the group in the fieldset and click edit. You then select the line you want the element to appear in or create a new line and add the element. Once you have added the element you can change it's type with the select list. You can choose individual checkboxes or a checkbox group.

This info is covered in the Getting Started Guide for CSS Form Builder here:

form_builder_gsg.pdf

You will want to check out the section titled Customizing form elements and modifying validation.

Selection checkbox came up all check when page is loaded.

Many thanks Eric. I have made the modifications that I wanted to make.

There is this other problem -- when is ljcontact100109.php is launched, all the three slection options came up checked. I will like them to come loaded unchecked.

Q: Is there somewhere on the code where this can be done.

--- I made the changes for value="1" to value="0" for the check boxes, but the boxes are still coming up checked when the page is loaded.

"<input type="checkbox" name="GBF_Contact_Us_Form_group_Select_to_share_your_Testimonies" id="GBF_Contact_Us_Form_group_Select_to_share_your_Testimonies" value="0" class="formCheckboxField_Standard" checked="checked" tabindex="3" />
</label>
<span class="checkboxRequiredMsg"> </span> </span> </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="lineGroup">
<div class="fullColumnGroup">
<label for="GBF_Contact_Us_Form_group_Select_for_prayer_request" class="sublabel" >Select for prayer request::</label>
<div class="errorGroup">
<div class="fieldPair">
<div class="fieldGroup"> <span id="GBF_Contact_Us_Form_group_Select_for_prayer_request_Spry">
<label class="checklabel" for="GBF_Contact_Us_Form_group_Select_for_prayer_request" onblur="hideServerError('GBF_Contact_Us_Form_group_Select_for_prayer_request_ServerError');">
<input type="checkbox" name="GBF_Contact_Us_Form_group_Select_for_prayer_request" id="GBF_Contact_Us_Form_group_Select_for_prayer_request" value="0" class="formCheckboxField_Standard" checked="checked" tabindex="4" />
</label>
<span class="checkboxRequiredMsg"> </span> </span> </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="lineGroup">
<div class="fullColumnGroup">
<label for="GBF_Contact_Us_Form_group_Select_to_offer_your_comments" class="sublabel" >Select to offer your comments::</label>
<div class="errorGroup">
<div class="fieldPair">
<div class="fieldGroup"> <span id="GBF_Contact_Us_Form_group_Select_to_offer_your_comments_Spry">
<label class="checklabel" for="GBF_Contact_Us_Form_group_Select_to_offer_your_comments" onblur="hideServerError('GBF_Contact_Us_Form_group_Select_to_offer_your_comments_ServerError');">
<input type="checkbox" name="GBF_Contact_Us_Form_group_Select_to_offer_your_comments" id="GBF_Contact_Us_Form_group_Select_to_offer_your_comments" value="0" class="formCheckboxField_Standard" checked="checked" tabindex="5" />
</label>"
Once again thanks,

Michael

In DW you can change this in the property inspector. Just select the checkbox on the page and in the property inspector for the initial value select 'unchecked'. In your code it is the checked="checked" part that is making the checkbox checked by default.
