Hi Community, I have a long form thats almost complete. However there are a couple of items im stuck on and I now fear thing are about to get very sticky. Heres what I need:
A newsletter checkbox to be selected by default
Two email fields for validation (the second compares itself to the first)
The newsletter checkbox only becomes active if an email has been entered before
Im not an ASP.net programmer and dont have visual studio so the documentation isnt helping much (custom fields etc). I would know how to do these things with a normal form and scripting language. Is there anywhere I can just get in at my form code to make changes?
You will have to created you own custom field types for contour then you can add those fields to your form. I recently had email validation compare requirement and i did it with a macro that injected the two textboxes and validators in although it would have been better to have done it with a custom field type. Either way you will need to get your hands dirty with some .net.
Is this going to be really difficult?

Hi Ismail,
I found a recent post of yours that where I think you give the code for validation using hte macro/injection technique! Is this what you mean?

Thanks a mill. Rob
Robert,
Yes thats the one it all works but think it would have been better to have created a fieldtype for contour not sure why i didnt do that?
