    Hello,

    How can I pre-populate the form with a non-editable field as in this form where my "name" field is fixed?

    Hi,

    You need to use form source code for embedding and append disabled="disabled" code to the fields that you'd like to protect. Please check this simple guide right here, in this example I have added the code to the name field input line.

    Example: Here

    Let us know if you need further assistance. Thanks!

    Hello idarktech,

    Thank you for your very thorough explanation, video and very quick response.

    Your solution works quite well but I had hoped to duplicate the format as seen on your site's question form. That is.. you can see the "name" field content in bold and there's no text box surrounding it.

    It that possible?

    Kind regards,

    Jim

    Jim,

    Sorry for the delay.

    To remove the box border and make the text bold, you can simply add custom css codes to your form. To do that, you have to get first the field ID. Example:

    <label class="form-label-left" id="label_6" for="input_6"> Name: </label><div id="cid_6" class="form-input"><input type="text" class="form-textbox" id="input_6" name="q6_name" size="30" disabled="disabled"/></div>

    The ID for this name field is input_6, to use it with CSS simply add # prefix. You may use this CSS, just replace the ID to your field ID.

    #input_6{

    border:none !important;

    font-weight:bold !important;

    }

    Here's another simple video for you :) http://www.screencast.com/t/WT8Yt8K8mEU

    Hope this helps. Thank you!
