Can you explain “After form additional HTML”? I try to add a simple text like “Verify your data and press SEND” before SEND button. How I do?
Hi Nicola, thank you for your question.
In regards to adding some simple HTML, you would carry out the following in your example type
Verify your data and press SEND
. Notice how I am using HTML tags. That is what you have to do if you want to add extra messages.
I hope this helps you.
Kind regards
Hi, I try to add this code
Verify your data and press SEND
in Advanced Form and Email Settings->After form additional HTML
but doesn’t appear anything between captcha and send button
You can see my form at
http://www.famiglieadottive.it/modulo-di-iscrizione/
Can you explain, step by step. how I add some simple text before send button?
Thanks.
Hi Nicola after doing some more testing I found out that you can add HTML to a field but I am not able to add HTML in the Advanced Tab under Email Settings->After form additional HTML.
So in your case if you add the HTML message to the following field “Accetti l’iscrizione?*”….in the HTML after field: settings it will appear after that field.
Let me know if this helps you.
Regards

Hi, I am trying to create a form that collects data and posts them to PayPal for processing. Since processing takes place in PayPal, I try to pass hidden info to validate the account, and also redirect to PayPal with the necessary info, with POST method. Is this possible? Can you please explain? Thanks, Paul
Hi Paul, have you tried the following
http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com/send-form-data-elsewhere. This feature can be tricky because you are passing the data to PayPal.Very helpful. Am wondering if you have any suggestions on this problem. I am trying to make the ‘submit’ button line up with input rows. In other words, instead of being below the labels and input, I’d like the submit button to follow them on the same vertical row. Can see the example at my link. Let me know if you have any tips or suggestions.
Hi G Ball, I did reply to your support thread in WordPress forum. Did that help you in any way?
Is there a way to get all the submitted data in form of a CSV file or in any other format?
Hi, are you talking about importing data via a CSV file? Or exporting the data to a CSV file?
