Adding form elements


Form elements are HTML elements. The Forms tab in the Objects palette contains a complete inventory of form elements including buttons, check boxes, text fields, list boxes, pop-up menus, special elements, and HTML 4.0 elements.

To add a form element:

1 Drag the appropriate icon from the Forms tab () of the Objects palette to the box enclosing the Form icon in your document window. Alternatively, place your pointer in the box enclosing the Form icon in your document window and double-click the icon in the Objects palette.

Note: Icons from the Forms tab must be added in the box that encloses the Form icon in the document window, otherwise they will not be part of the form.

2 With the icon selected in the document window, set up the form element in the Inspector. For information on setting up specific form elements, see the description of that form element.
