    Good day, guy!

    I am newcommer in JotForm.
    Please, help me to understand some points:
    I want to create improved Substring wiget:

    - can I find code of this widget to modify or code of other widget to learn?
    - how can I add widget settings?

    You can check this article. https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/substring

    The substring widget uses the JavaScript String substring() Method. You can check the codes here.

    https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_substring.asp

    Then you can create your own widget by using this guide.

    http://developers.jotform.com/widgets

    And edit widgetSettings.

    Good evening!
    Thank you for feedback!

    I found example code of Substring Widget: http://widgets.jotform.io/substring/substring.min.js.
    But I see:
    - it's not iFrame Widget but without iFrame Widget!!!

    Can I also create not iFrame Widget with needed widget settings (I can setup them for iFrame Widget only) and more easy communicated with other jotForms elements (because cross-origin limit is blocker for me) ?
