Tip
For other Form elements, you can set the default value to be the value of a
field in the record set; see "Specifying a default value" on the facing page.
l For a Checkbox or Radio Button you can check checked or selected respectively
for the element to initially be checked/selected when the web page is shown.
l For a Button, you can set the button type:
l Submit: The button will validate the form data and if validation is successful,
send the data to the provided URL (the action specified for the Form; see
"Changing a Form's properties" on page753).
l Reset: The button will reset the form to its original configuration, erasing any
information entered and options provided. Note: This cannot be undone!
5. Depending on the validation method of the form (see "Changing a Form's validation
method" on page754) and the type of element there are a number of options to set under
Validation. With Browser validation you can only make a field required and set a
maximum length.
l Required: Check if the field is required to submit the form. If a field is required but
contains no data, a message will be shown to the user.
Note that some elements can only be made required via the Form's validation
settings (see "Changing a Form's validation method" on page754). It isn't always
useful to make a field required; after all, if it has a default value it will never be
empty.
l Minimum and maximum length: Enter a numerical value for the minimum and
maximum character length required for this field.
l Equal to: Use the drop-down to select another field that is already added to the
same Form. The contents of both fields must match for the data to be validated. This
is useful for confirmation fields such as for passwords, email addresses etc.
6. Under Warnings, type the message that will be displayed to the user if the input is not
valid.
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.
