Would be great to have four options for name fields,</p> <p>Normal (f,l)<br /> Normal 2 (f, m, l)<br /> Extended (title, f, l, suf)<br /> Extended 2 (title, f, m, l, suf)</p> <p>or something like that. In the meantime I'll try to figure out how to float single line fields next to each other... </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/middle-name#post-5520 Sat, 18 Apr 2009 08:35:30 +0000 AMurray 5520@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I can think of two work-arounds for this:</p> <p>Instruct the user to include both first &#38; second names in the "first name" field, and their surname in the last name field. (just include the instruction in the "Guidelines for User" feature). This is the easiest method.</p> <p>Another way would be to create three fields manually for the three names (going on the assumption that most people have only one middle name) and use CSS to line them up on the same line (using the tips previously answered in this forum regarding radio buttons/checkboxes; but the principle is the same for lining up the fields on one line.</p> <p>Hope this helps, and makes sense.</p> <p>[edit: the first way won't really work if you intend to use the data e.g. in a form letter, (or particularly in the auto-response email) since the "first name" will contain first and middle names, and will read as "Dear James Tiberius" in stead of "Dear James" ] </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/middle-name#post-5519 Sat, 18 Apr 2009 08:28:32 +0000 dpimatrix 5519@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I have this problem as well. It is rather a security problem (The ability to ID the customer more accurately than it is cosmetic. This is a needed field.) </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/middle-name#post-5514 Fri, 17 Apr 2009 22:20:53 +0000 SevenHunters 5514@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Every form I create needs a middle name included. :( </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/middle-name#post-531 Wed, 09 Jan 2008 06:25:37 +0000 yuniar 531@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Sorry, I'm afraid MachForm doesn't have that feature. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/middle-name#post-528 Wed, 09 Jan 2008 00:00:33 +0000 mmartucci 528@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Is there a way to add "Middle Name" to the name field? </p>
