Importing a Form  


Here you can import existing forms and turn them into secure web forms.  Forms can be imported from any type of web page - ie. HTML, PHP, ASP, etc.

To import a form, double-click on the  icon to display the following dialog box :




Right-click in the URL field and paste in a URL (location of a web page) that contains a web form.  Once you have done this press the  button.

NOTE : If you have an offline form (ie. a form on your hard disk) you will need to upload it to your web server before FormsAssurity can pick it up.

The name of the form (if any) will be displayed along with the method of how the form will be sent (Email or HTTP Post) and the directory that contains the form submission properties.

Pressing the button will display the form in the FormsAssurity Designer window ready for you to edit.



NOTE : Incorrect displaying of forms

1)  Some forms may not display correctly in the FormsAssurity designer. This is true of forms which do not use HTML according to the W3C standards. You may therefore have to correct the position of the form components and their size.

2)  If forms are designed via DIV tags which load their properties from CSS absolute positions, FormsAssurity cannot determine where the absolute position should lay since the absolute position refers to the position within the entire page, not to the position relative to the form. You may therefore have to correct the position of the form components.

3)  Submit buttons that use images, not HTML buttons are not supported and you will have to manually create the submit button using the FormsAssurity designer.
