okay let's get right to it here this is
the coffee cup
flash form builder it's offered a coffee
cup dot com for $39 dollars
I it's made my job a lot easier. doing
web sites
um we're going to assume that you've
already built your form
I you can start from scratch with a
blank canvas
and literally protection there
if you look up here removing my mouse
you can put them put
boxes tax bill checkboxes dropdowns
radio buttons list capture key and so on
capture keys are good because they keep
spammers from Phil and I email form and
flooding your email box
but we're gonna sue me very both perform
this is a very some point get in touch
main email website message
shouldn't message button now what
well if you're doing this on a design
a where your back ron is a gradient
color
we've got a image back there anything
like that always good habit to check
this box right here
that says transparent background that
way
the image will only show up
itself there will be no background for
our caller because if you end up with a
white background
but the back running web sites black
it's gonna look funky
and you don't want that see can check
transparent background
the next thing you want to make sure of
is that you hit configure former
settings cook this all-male happen and
you want to tie pertz gonna go to so
we're gonna put
admin at helping hands
kik dot com you can also do a carbon
copy if you want to go to another email
box and you can do black carbon copy
but we're just for all intents and
purposes of this tutorial we're going to
despite one email address
we're not done yet he also have to go to
form submission
check this out you have a redirect a
website address
or create custom page if you click
redirect web site address you have to
put in here where it's going to redirect
them
after they hit the submit button and you
have to have that page live on your
server
I usually name mine thank you Dad HTML
and then went when they hit the submit
button they go to think you got HTML
anna says thank you for submitting a
male form
somebody will be back in touch with you
soon as possible
la de da de da arm some people prefer
just to do the
create custom page because this will
literally create thank you
for your submission as you can see in
the code reader that's basically all so
that's just a white page says thank you
for your submission
and for the purpose for this tutorial
will just leave it like that because we
don't have to make any extra pages our
website
now you also want to go to Advanced
you always want to make sure that fixed
her fix for
displaying active content is checked
this has much to do with the browser's
you want this check because this is a
flash male form
and you want it to be bugged see wanna
check that
the most important part of this is
knowing
what kind of hosting account you have if
you're using
I'll index hosting you wanna check
use PHP script for Linux servers
if using a Windows hosting server you
wanna check use
ASP script because if you check PHP in
using Windows box this will not work
vice versa if you check a spinner using
Linux box
it won't work so on and so far so just
make sure that you have the right one
check most people are on Windows servers
I prefer Linex some gonna leave mine
checked on Linux someone had okay
now what I'm gonna do is on a save my
mail for
and I have a to fall former to save them
there
you can make as many male forms for a
site as you want I'm gonna call this one
test for any leave the dot
axe and I'll there don't touch it just
leave it there
and then you have safe okay
now this box pops up as you can see on
the left it made
the BG it's just a graphic background
graphic it's got the bike graphic
it's got this SWF object right here
which is actually the if the flash file
it's got the flash form it's got the PHP
handler
and then the HTML page you don't need to
worry about
any other sort of got saved in your
folder all you want to do
is copy this code right here copy the
whole thing
and open up your web editor I'm using
Dreamweaver and in this case
going to the code where you would wanna
Sat and in Dreamweaver you can
specifically click on whatever table or
whatever area the website you want it
player blinking cursor they're like you
see blinking here
and then go to code control
be will pace that coffee cup code for
them to form
go back to design you'll see for object
in a big table
that's all you need that's pretty much
it
and once you save this and upload this
to the server you'll actually see this
male form on that page
I'll get rid of this you'll see this
male form on your website
and you can testify typing in your name
your email address website my surgeon
has some assets and you can go ahead and
some that
arm a couple things hitting cover I'm
actually backtrack just for a second if
you click on each one of these boxes
over here on the right you've got the
skies taxed you really only one is set
for password stuff
I you can make it a required field or
they have to type it out
if they don't they try to submit it than
it'll tell 'em sorry for got a field
if it is an email address you can put
it's in the email address field
Vita for coffee cups offer always puts
Maxwell like 25
not a good idea email and web site
address built you wanna race at like 70
because a lot of email addresses our way
longer than 25 characters
and if it's a required field and they
can type the whole thing and then
it just means you're not going to get
the contact form such a remote lock same
thing on the website you pry wanna make
that
70 characters anything basically it's
common sense anything it's gonna require
more than 25 keystrokes you wanna up
that a lot
and that the message box itself a
maximum length is set to 0 which is
default that means that's
unlimited they can type as much as they
walk
so just make sure you do those a couple
things also before you save this file
now in this case inside to go back and
redo the site wanna
go to save again and I'd wanna say we're
I test form right there
yes that exist you on our place that I
do
and re copy the code back into
Dreamweaver
that some supper coffee cup male form
builder
