Hi, thanks! I’m referring to forms created manually with html <form> <table> code.

Plugin forms are great, I use one that is on your list. But in several instances the layout restrictions are not so helpful. A good ole’ table would tighten it up perfectly (within limits for screen-size responsiveness).

Please, any ideas, anyone, how to to search by exact match but not be case sensitive? Or how to suppress the above error message would do. Or maybe how to force a letter in the input field when the user does not, to prevent the empty-field error message? Or maybe how to require that field (or rather two fields at the same time) have something in it before a search will run? Any workarounds? Have come a long way but always there is more, PHP/Java is yet on my horizon. Thank you!

Unfortunately no. Receive data order desired but lose the shading for alternate rows. At end of data instead of a scrollbar it displays the code following the ‘aaSorting’:[] as if the code broke there? Have searched the aaSorting term and syntax appears to be correct. If I move it to another location in the dt_options string (with separating comma) then the code breaks at that new location. I do not know dt_options, had picked the phrase from CFDB documentation, your help very much appreciated!

In case it could make a difference in Submitted date formats, data source is “Fast Secure Contact Form” not “Contact Form 7”.

Stumbled upon something called strtolower. Works — except when corresponding input field is left empty returns big error message “Warning: strtolower() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in …” No harm to functionality, just ugly and scary to users. Is there a way to avoid/suppress that message — or another method to do an exact match that is not case sensitive?

‘<form action=”” method=”POST”>Zip Code: <input type=”text” name=”zip5″ /> Last Name: <input type=”text” name=”last-name” /> First Name: <input type=”text” name=”first-m” /> <input type=”hidden” name=”x” value=”1″/> <input type=”submit” /> </form>’

‘[cfdb-datatable form=”my-form2″ show=”date,last-name,first-m,city,state,zip5″ filter=”zip5=$_POST(zip5)&&strtolower(last-name)=strtolower($_POST(last-name))&&first-m~~/$_POST(first-m).*/i&&intval(1)=$_POST(x)” ]’

Only a workaround that is subject to wayward clicks. Thus not truly resolved but can let it rest for now. Thank you.

As a workaround I removed the Reset button from all three forms in the 3-step set. Each form now has an href link labeled “Click HERE to clear the form”, “Click HERE if you prefer to cancel”, “Click HERE to clear the screen after printing” — all of which for now return to a blank Form1. Serves well enough for the today’s demo. Maybe later make my own Reset button but placement might be troublesome.

On Form3 which is only for printing I was able to hide the Submit button. Hopefully it will not get mistakenly clicked but have defined the redirection in case it does.
…….Form3> Styles> Submit DIV:
…….margin: -5% 0 0 0; float:right;
……(moves it up and to the right)
…….Form3> Styles> Submit button:
…….color:transparent; background-color:transparent; border:transparent;

Many thanks!

Ok have turned off all plugins except FSCF and CFDB and Akismet.
The test domain is on a WPMU multisite so other domains on the system are running all plugins. Have tested with two browsers. Have tested with alternate theme (Twenty Sixteen). In addition to my original 3-step form I created a new very simple 2-step form.

Consistently finding:
– On any form, at any step, the Reset button is not returned to the screen if the form fails verification.
– On any form that is the LAST form in a set (either 2-step or 3-step) the Reset button will not work at all, with or without captcha filled out, or a fresh captcha requested and filled.
– On a middle form (Form2 of a 3-step set) the Reset button will work, unless that form fails verification and is returned to the screen, in which case the Reset button is not returned to the screen.

Any ideas on how to make the Reset work consistently? In this case it is very important to erase form data as many users will be a visitor on someone else’s computer and will not be able to clear cookies, reboot or whatever. (Even if they knew how.)

Also, is there ANY way to turn autocomplete off for these forms — to keep a following person from guessing and recapturing information?

Many thanks.
