 * Dear Michael:
    Below is pasted an email to JotForm. I am currently capturing 
   data from their form using your plugin thanks but I can’t get the hidden field
   <input type=”hidden” name=”form_title” value=”New_Order_Submit” /> to pass through
   to the database. I’ve included this tag immediately under the form tag.
 * Dear JotForm:
 * I didn’t know the code was available that’s great but now I have to get your 
   css to override the default wordpress css. That should be do-able but for now
   I have a different problem.
 * I have inserted a hidden field manually into the form but it’s not getting passed
   to my database.
    I’m using a plug-in to capture the data successfully. [http://cfdbplugin.com/](http://cfdbplugin.com/)
 * Here is a screen capture of a database peek.

 * You may notice that one column is “untitled”
 * If you view source of [http://you-get-real.com/new-listing](http://you-get-real.com/new-listing)
   
   you’ll see the hidden field just under the form tag and it’s value is “New_Order_Submit”.
   That field usually ends up as the name of those fields in the database and also
   the name of the “untitled” column. Another field that is hidden is “Status_13”
   and that appears in the peek.
 * I’ve cc’d the plugin developer also so he is aware of this behavior.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * Please tell me more about how you have this integrated with CFDB plugin. From
   what little I know of JotForms, the form submission goes to the JotForm site 
   not your WordPress site. So I don’t see an opportunity for CFDB to intercept 
   the post. I might not understand this clearly.
