hey everi1,

I've made a form.. eg.. a guestbook.. And i've gotten it all to work... now that it works.. and people are signing it.. All the text is written in Times New Roman( in the results of the guestbook) .. So can i change the the font used?

And also because its on a limited space.. I want to tell the system to not collect the form field names ...(eg. Names:... Comments:).. .. how do i do that?

Sure! http://four4swords.buhh.net/Artifacts/four4swordsPAGE.htm

Thats the link.. I found out how to make the Form field name not appear.. turns out you modify that in the Options bit..

Uhh.. Yeah the bit in the Message Box is in times new roman i think.. and i want it to be arial.. How do i make the automatic webot thingy send entries in some other font...

Hi,
You can do that directly on the MessageBox.htm ... open that up and in the code, between the <head> and </head> tags put this

<style>
<!--
body {background-color: #000000;}
p { font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; color: #FFFFFF }
-->
</style>


Change it as you want. You may want to consider having postings sent to your email addres (done in the Form Properties) that way whenever anyone posts you get notified, just in case you get spammers posting etc, you can then quickly delete before anyone sees the posting ... just a thought

Ok Thanks.. But since only my friends will be on it.. i'm sure they won't spam me.. lol

Thanks for the info!

Umm. .. I want to add in a picture.. to the background of the page.. The thing is , that my image is not as big as the page.. and so FP tiles it.. Is there a way to make FP not tile it.. and place it at the very bottom right corner of my page?

Hi,
It's not a matter of friends ...... spammers have programs that go around hunting out forms and email addresses and stuff. I have a guest book here http://www.scriptfx.com/feedback/sign.php - originally it was just a simple form type script, and I forget how long it took to happen, but I would get people that found the page and would post multi links to their ***** websites, casino websites or advertise products you dont want to know about. Now to have manually posted would have taken certainly around a minute, even if they copied and pasted. But I would get email advice where the time showed less than 15 seconds between postings and identical posts would be left maybe 20 or 30 times in one go .....

This can apply to all non secure forms. So now I have a far more secure scripted guest book also using an image verification as you can see. All posts have to be authorised by me before they appear on public view.

My email address does not appear in the source code of the form, so I dont get any email spammers, but I do still occasionally get manual entries of unwanted advertising appear which I just delete, but I would think it has been cut down from around 15/25 posts per week to around 1 every 2 months or so.

It was just a thought, maybe something to think about in the future if it starts happening.
