    Printable Form

    Hi,

    I am new to BV & would like to know how I can achieve the following:

    We will be advertising our house for rental, www.ourdordogneholiday.co.uk & would like a booking form that the client can print, complete & post to us along with their deposit. I have looked at the tutorials but the form builder from BV is not exactly what we need. Our booking form will give us information such as: number of guests & ages, dates/weeks required, contact info for clients etc. Is there a way of creating a printable form in BV or should I try to create one in word, if so, how do I then get a word document onto my booking form page in my website?

    Thanks,
    Linda

    Hi, for just a printable form you can create one using the form tools of the form menu bar. LINK to see result.

    But you would be better off having a form that reply s direct via email. & if you wanted an extra button to allow the end user to print a well.

    Worth a look at this thread LINK to see if making a form would be better. If it seems a bit daunting, you can always ask Naval to install it for you. (He is very reasonable).

    Good luck.
    Regards Chris.

        Hi, pop the code below the line in a html box & preview for a test.
        With a print button it is worth popping a note on the page suggesting
        Ctrl & P
        or
        file>print page.
        As some of the codes wont work in old browsers.
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------


        <SCRIPT Language="Javascript">

        function printit(){
        if (window.print) {
        window.print() ;
        } else {
        var WebBrowser = '<OBJECT ID="WebBrowser1" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0 CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2"></OBJECT>';
        document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeEnd', WebBrowser);
        WebBrowser1.ExecWB(6, 2);//Use a 1 vs. a 2 for a prompting dialog box WebBrowser1.outerHTML = "";
        }
        }
        </script>

        <SCRIPT Language="Javascript">
        var NS = (navigator.appName == "Netscape");
        var VERSION = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
        if (VERSION > 3) {
        document.write('<form><input type=button value="Print this Page" name="Print" onClick="printit()"></form>');
        }
        </script>
        Regards Chris.

          Hi Chris,

          Have added my print button then right clicked to get to HTML but which tag do I insert the script, before tag, inside tag or after tag?

          Cheers,
          Linda

            Hi, no button needed. Open a BV html box (top left side menu) Place on page & d/Click on the box. You will get a html properties box appear. Pop the code above in this box & press ok. Preview page.
            Regards Chris.

                You can do whatever you like. Please note that you will need a VH hosting account, not only a domain name.
                Purchasing a hosting account, you also get a domain name registration for free.
