forms


The form can be filled out by a visitor to your homepage and sent to you. The advantage is that the visitor does not need to have an email address or an email client installed to fill out the form.

Forms can be easily created in the editor without any programming knowledge. The bluetronix software automatically corrects field names and form elements. Sent forms are generally stored in the form archive   Tools -> Form Archive saved. In addition, the forms can be forwarded to an email address. An automatic confirmation to the sender can also be set.

The form can be transmitted in text mode (field -> name: Mustermann) and in HTML mode (1:1 the completed form mask).

In this example, the contact form shown in the image above is to be created.
