The plugin does not connect to the internet. The problem with being unable to edit form elements usually is because another plugin is not restricting its scripts to its own pages. Try disabling plugins to find the culprit, then let me know and I’ll see if I can come up with a solution.

What is happening is the <2 and following content is being stripped as an HTML tag (see under Forms > Advanced Settings > Content Filtering). I’m not sure how to fix this, since the tag stripping works via a whitelist of allowed tags, instead of specifically blocking tags.

For what it’s worth, the conditions bug you described has been fixed. However I do realize that a “bug” that wipes out four hours of work is more like a “complete breakdown”.

Yikes.. hold on I’ll fix that.

@eeidsness, Excel 07 and 10 will not open files containing international characters properly if generated as suggested above (they need the line that converts the encoding). This StackOverflow thread explains why I did what I did, though there are many options that might be more portable.

@cpaprotna, If you could tell me exactly what version of Excel and OS you are using, I could try to recreate the problem. The generated files were designed to open properly by ‘double click’ rather than importing… I just assumed a naive user would do it this way, so I tried to make it easy for them.

You would want to add some javascript to your form, which can by done easily:
– add a note element to the end of the form
– give it a blank label
– check the ‘HTML’ box.

The javascript functions to access the form’s DOM objects are described here.

The choice to use ul/li was a terrible choice – but at this point, changing the default form template would probably break a lot of users’ forms. I’m not sure what to do about this.

If you want to change the generated forms you can create a new form template. Its a bit technical but you can have the form generate whatever HTML you want this way.
