Submitting a Form
When a form is submitted, by clicking or touching the Submit button, the name and value of
form elements are sent to the address that is specified in the Form's action (see "Adding a
Form" on page619 or "Changing a Form's properties" on page622). If the name attribute is
omitted, the data of that input field will not be sent at all.
The Form's validation should ensure that the data that the user submits is valid.
Form Elements
This topic lists the elements that can be added to a form in a Web page or in a Capture
OnTheGo template and explains how to add them to a Form, set a default value or change their
validation. For more information about Forms and Form elements in the Designer, see "Forms"
on page619 and "Using Form elements" on page477.
For more information about elements in Forms, see https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_
forms.asp.
Fieldset
A fieldset is a group of related elements in a form. The elements don't have to be of the same
type. After inserting and selecting the Fieldset (see "Selecting an element" on page550) you
can add elements to it in the same way you add elements to a Form; see "Adding elements to a
Form" on page477.
Text
The Text element is a simple <input> element with the type text. It accepts any alphanumerical
characters, including special characters. The string is HTML-encoded before it is submitted to
the server.
Email
The Email element is a text input field that accepts only email addresses in a valid format.
URL
The URL element is a text input field that accepts only URLs (a web page address) in a valid
format.
