   Hi,
   Just purchase your product, installed it and it works great. Really simple to use.

   I have 3 questions:

   1) Is it possible to change the submit button to a grahpic? If so, how do I do it?

   2) When creating form there is an option to provide the user with guidance e.g. enter your first and last name.... I change my form to lower font size however the guidance also shows very very small. How do I change the guidance font size, without affectiong the entire document? Is that where I can change the colour also?

   3) When use does not fill in a required field it say "please enter a value". How do I change it say "enter your name, or etc" instead of "please entere a value"?

   thanks

   Hi,

   1) Yes, it is possible. Here's how to do it:

   a) Edit your includes/view-functions.php file. On line 1581 you will find this code:

   <input id="saveForm" class="button_text" type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />

   
   replace that line with this one:

   <input id="saveForm" class="button_text" type="image" name="submit" value="Submit" src="http://www.example.com/images/submit.gif"/>

   
   adjust the path to your image of course.

   b) Edit both your embed.php and view.php file
   Around line 25, search for this code:

   if(!empty($_POST['submit'])){ //if form submitted
   
   replace that line with the one below:

   if(!empty($_POST['submit']) || !empty($_POST['submit_x'])){ //if form submitted
   
   this step is required to handle some bug with IE when using image for submit button.

   2) Edit your CSS code for that form. Search for this block:

   form .guidelines
   {
   	background:#f5f5f5;
   	border:1px solid #e6e6e6;
   	color:#444;
   	font-size:80%;
   	left:100%;
   	line-height:130%;
   	margin:0 0 0 8px;
   	padding:8px 10px 9px;
   	position:absolute;
   	top:0;
   	visibility:hidden;
   	width:42%;
   	z-index:1000;
   }

   
   You can adjust font-size and font-color there.

   3) Edit your includes/common-validator.php. At the beginning of the file you will see the messages. However, those message are general, not specific for each field of your form.
