5. Using the the Method drop-down, select whether the form should be sent using the GET
or POST method.
6. Using the next drop-down, select the form's Encryption Type (enctype):
l application/x-www-form-urlencoded: Default. All characters are encoded before
they are sent. Spaces are converted to "+" symbols, and special characters are
converted to ASCII HEX values.
l multipart/form-data: No characters are encoded. This value is required when you
are using forms that have a file upload control.
l text/plain: Spaces are converted to "+" symbols, but no special characters are
encoded.
7. Select a validation method:
l The Browser validation method leaves it up to the browser to validate the user
input. When adding fields to the Form (see the next step) you can only make fields
required and set the maximum length as an additional requirement for some fields.
l Select JQuery Validation to validate using JQuery scripts. This allows you to
specify stricter requirements per field and type a different message for each field to
display to the user if the input is not valid. This method ensures a more consistent
validation as it is browser independent. The necessary JQuery files will be added to
the JavaScript folder on the Resources pane when the form is inserted.
8. Under Fields, click the Add button and click on the desired field type to add a field of that
type; see "Form Elements" on page721.
Note
A Fieldset is not available in the Form Wizard, because a Fieldset itself can contain
multiple different fields. Add the Fieldset after inserting the Form; see "Adding
elements to a Form" on page561.
9. Double-click each field in the Fields list and change its settings. For an explanation of the
settings, see "Adding elements to a Form" on page561.
10. The order of the elements in the list under Fields determines in which order the elements
will be added to the Form. Use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to change the
order of the elements in the list.
11. Use the Location drop-down to select where to insert the element.
