Form elements (also referred to as form objects and input fields) are the building blocks of forms. You can add form elements to a form as easily as you add text, images, links, and Help controls. Form elements are available from the WYSIWYG Editor.
The form elements that you can add to a form include:
Text Field: Enables users to type text in a form. You can enter default text in the field to guide users, or you can leave it empty.
Multi-line Text Field: Enables users to enter more than one line of text in a form field.
Hidden Field: Enables users to add names and values for hidden fields.
Password Box: Enables users to apply password protection. When users type in the box, the viewer displays the password as a series of asterisks (*) for confidentiality.
Radio button: Allows users to select only one alternative from a group. Radio buttons are presented in a list, one of which is selected by default. Clicking a new button clears the previously selected item.
Check box: Enables users to select any combination of alternatives. When the check box is selected, it is usually displayed with a check mark. Check boxes can represent a group of non-exclusive choices.
Button: Allows users to insert a plain button on the form, designate the appropriate caption, and perform customized actions defined by the author.
Submit Button: Enables users to submit a completed form to a server.
Image Button: Allows users to insert a custom image on top of a button that performs an action when clicked.
Reset Button: Allows users to reset the form to its initial state.
Drop-down menu: Drop-down menus present a list of selections in a drop-down menu format. Users can select either one item or many items, depending on how you configure the drop-down menu.
