out of order data

Post by bry »

I have a form but the data comes in out of order. The test site is http://www.test12.info/testcontactform/ ... ctinfo.php

The data comes in like this:

Values submitted from web site form:
IP Address : 96.cc.zz.xx
FirstName1 : one
Spouse :
SI Phone :
Cell Phone Number :
Email :
Property :
EN Street Address :
Last : two
Directions :
AwayPhone :

It should come in the following order - FirstName, LastName, Spouse, SI Phone, Away Phone, Cell Phone, Email, Property, EN Street Address, Directions.

thanks

The order of form fields can be changed using the 'Arranges Objects' in the context menu of the form.

Thanks Baconfries

I will try again as soon as I get home. Do you see why the success page is so narrow? It is supposed to be 1000 pixels wide.

Thanks

The max-width property of the text is set to 4 pixels.

You can set the max-width of text in the text's properties.

I could not find that setting. So I opened the success page with notepad++ and didn't see the 4 px width limit. Then I opened success.css with notepad++ and found and changed it. But I have never had to do that before. In all the years of using WB, I have never had this happen. I did just update to WB15. It seems that it did something differently. But I do not know what.

I will study that later, but right now I have to fix the problems with the form.

Thanks for your help.

HI BaconFries,
I went to Arange Objects with right click on form and found the last name object which was number 7 in the list. So I clicked on Move Up until it was the the second items in the list. I then published and the result is a page that is very screwed up. You can see it at:

http://www.test12.info/testcontactform/ ... ctinfo.php

I just took a look at the WB page and I see that it messed up the page in WB. So I am going back and trying to get it back in order. Am I wrong about only having to Move Up or Move Down on the WB Form??? That seems to have killed the form. I have a copy of the original saved but I need to know how to arrange the order of items.

Thanks much for your help. You are always generous with your help!! And I appreciate you more than you know!

i have discovered - must have forgotten - that I need to stack the editboxes vertically for them to tab correctly. I had the Last Name box out to the right of First Name and that is what messed it up.

Also, I have gone back to version 14. It seems to work better for me.

Thanks

This has nothing to do with how you have placed the objects (vertically/stacked etc) or WB15.
You can set the tab order with the 'Set Tab order' tool. This should work in all browsers because this is standard HTML functionality.
