HomeTry out the next Form Builder
The purpose of this (small) update was to improve the form outline displayed on the left (the treeview). I rewrote the entire drag&drop functionality and added the possibility to expand/collapse form sections.
Give it a try and share your comments here. Thank you!
At the time I started working on the drag&drop feature I couldn’t find any good javascript library capable of sorting nested lists, so I ended-up writing my own. It’s now available as open-source (but not yet bug free).
The lastest version of the script.aculo.us library offers this functionality as well, so if you’re already using prototype, this is a good alternative.

I like your site a lot. It is a great way to easily create beautiful forms. However, what if I just want to use your form builder and then host the entire form - including response tracking on my page. Is that possible?

Yes, you can. Once you have created and saved the form, you can retrieve the html and host it on your site. If you don’t want to use the Form Assembly processing service, just point your form to your own script (by changing the action attribute on the form tag).

… and that’s free of course.

When’s the new version going to be publicly available? Looks like it will be much easier to use!

…probably this week-end, and I will have another upgrade ready for testing at this time (with some serious new features.. like inline fields and predefined elements).
