Hi there... I love Canvas.

Questions on Form--

  1. How can I make the box glow a different color when Required Input fields have not been filled in? Right now it is a little difficult to tell which required fields the submitter has missed.

  2. When the recipient receives the form contents via email, how can I change "Company Name" as the from to the actual company name? And the Subject from "Form Response to Your Website" to something else?

Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for the Kind Words. :)

  1. You can use the following CSS Block to change the Input Styling when the Validation fails:
    [ch_pre type="css"].form-control.error,
    .sm-form-control.error {
    /* your custom css properties */
    }[/ch_pre]

  2. We recommend you to check the Form Setup Documentation: http://docs.semicolonweb.com/docs/forms/form-setup as everything related to this has already been documented. To change the Subject, consider checking the Documentation here: http://docs.semicolonweb.com/docs/forms/settings/ .

Hope this Helps!

Thank you.

Is there a way to limit the types of files for the 'file upload' field on forms... e.g., .doc or Pdf only?

On the form response email... where can I add some html to make the form results look a little better visually...
for instance to add html table coding?

For example the job application form I am using here:

Thanks,

Hello,

Apologies for the Delays.

You can find the following line of code in the include/form.php File:
[ch_pre type="php"]$html = $html_before . '[/ch_pre]

And then modify the existing codes according to your needs to add your own HTML Codes for the Email Layout.

Hope this Helps!
