Row/Column Size Insert new data

[tpolimeni28]

I am new to the tool so I am sorry for all the questions as I learn the way along with stumbling thru PHP, and Java code which I dont know... Now that I have that out of the way.. As I build this I learn... Few things here I am looking for help with.

One If I Use a drop down I want to shrink the column size so its no so large and wide. I tried to mess with the Browse and width section of the form to reduce the width entry, however it barks at me about my custom code must be unique and not blank

2) TextArea option is there a way on the sheet I can make the text wrap so its displays fully? Example how in excel you can make a box longer wider and such, can this tool do that automatically so when you enter the form you see the text as a whole

3)Subforum is there any good places I can locate to read and understand how to create them better?

4)Can I have a main form, with tabs which will take me to another forum... Example I open Fastform Test, within this fastform can I have a tab that will take me to test1, then test all with in the same form but each form will not have the same data structure?

5) When I used the form to insert a new column or data field, the existing data was purged, any suggestion on how to add a new data area without losing the current data?

1) See here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/139 ... pdown-list

2) The webkit based browsers (Safari, Google Chrome, Edge) allow the HTML textarea to be resized by default with a grab handle in the bottom right corner.

4) Do you want to open another form (in a new browse tab?) when you click on a tab?

For number 2 I should have been a little more clear. When I create the fast form and items are in a row list, I’d like that row to be fatter to display more text in the default view prior to clicking on an entry. That way if you want to see all data within that table as a whole you can view it in the main form page with out pulling the area to the left forever.

For the tab, either within the current view page have it open, or new tab whichever would be easiest and make more sense.

Is there a way to opposed to see an excel form layout in the fast form to see things in a pretty window? Even a way once you open one entry from the fast form to have a next and back button. I found an older entry with this, however the code doesn’t work from the post that very old.

2) you can freely resize and arrange objects if that's what you're looking for

I am however a logout seems to place things back how it once was. Do I need to change settings or add code to make the row column sizes bigger and or smaller statically?

Any insight on the tab options if that is even possibly?

Please upload a screenshot that shows what you mean by "row column sizes"

In the form's custom code, add a nuSelectTab() function like. When a tab is clicked, nuSelectTab() is run where you can open another form.
-> Wiki nuForm()

Code: Select all

function nuSelectTab(tab) {

    if (tab.innerText = 'tab title here...') {
        nuForm('form id here...', '', '', '', '2');

    }
    return false;
}
