The name attribute of Form elements is sent to the server (together with the input value) after
the form has been submitted. When adding an element to a Form or Fieldset, you cannot
specify a name; the ID will be copied to the element's name attribute. After adding the element to
the Form or Fieldset you can change the name on the Attributes pane.
Adding new HTML5 elements
HTML5 added several new input element types that can't be found in the Designer menu. To
add such an element to a template you can do the following:
1. Add an input element from the menu, for example a Text or Button.
2. Select the element in the template.
3.
On the Attributes pane, select the desired input type from the Type drop-down list.
Changing a form element
Once an element has been added to a Form, it can easily be changed: simply select the
element in the template, go to the the Attributes pane, and edit the element. An input element
can even be changed to another type of input element by selecting the desired input type from
the Type drop-down list.
Specifying a default value
Attribute a default value to a Text, Textarea and other Form elements by dragging a field from
the Data Model pane directly onto the field, once it has been created. This also works when
dragging a field from a detail table in a record set into a Form element that is contained within a
Detail Table.
Note that the default value doesn't disappear when the user clicks the field, as placeholders do.
To insert a placeholder in a field, type a label and choose Use label as placeholder as its style
when adding the element to the form; see "Adding elements to a Form" on page455.
Making elements required
To change the validation of a COTG or Form element, right-click the element and choose
Validation settings. Now you can change the Form's validation method and set the
requirements per field; see "Changing a Form's validation method" on page593.
