Example of a form

• Example form
• Form in Configuration
• Form in Wizard
• The form on the page
• The contents of the email that was sent from this form.

Below is the same simple form as it appears in the Configuration, in the Wizard, on the page and the email it sends.

The fields I put on this form are:

• Name - Input field
• Email - Input field
• What year are you - Selector box (drop down list) (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior)
• Please send me email - Label - this is for the radio buttons below
• Please send me email - Radio buttons (Yes, No)
• Comments - Textarea

When you first go into a form content element's form tab, you will see the configuration with the code.  Unless you know what you are doing, I would avoid editing it from here.

Remember that different email clients may display this differently.  This is Outlook 2003.
