How to replicate a form I have in my site?

  • CoGoEd
    Asked on July 17, 2014 at 12:18 AM

    Question, I'm working on another form to replace my existing one (need to make it easier (e.g. drop downs etc)) for potential users that come to my site.  The form is located here, http://form.jotform.us/form/41957151636156 ... i've been working on trying to get this form to look exactly like the form I have on my current site (the one you were nice enough of to mockup) but haven't had any luck. Is there anyway you can help?

     

    THANK YOU!!!!!

    Yasir

    If you want to clone a form that was also made in jotform, please follow this guide

    Otherwise, please let us know the site URL or the link to the original form.

    Jeanette, 

     

    Thank you! I'll rephrase my question in an effort to be clearer. I have a form that is currently on my site http://www.cogoed.com/. I'd like to keep the formatting (size, color scheme, etc) of the form as is but would like to use drop downs and different responsive/conditional fields like in the form I've created via jotforms located here ...http://form.jotform.us/form/41957151636156

    Can you help with that? Would really appreciate your assistance. 

    Thank you,

    Yasir

    Hi Yasir,

    Just to be clear, you want to replace the form here

    with this form  http://form.jotform.us/form/41957151636156 right?

     

    We can assist you make the JotForm form look similar to the form in the website. 

     

    We just need to be clear on the direction because from your latest message, I am confused when you mentioned  "I'd like to keep the formatting (size, color scheme, etc) of the form as is" -- as if you wanted to keep the form on the website and put the functionality of JotForm form on it instead.

     

    Thanks!

    Hey Jonathan, 

    Thanks for getting back to me. Sorry for the confusion. I'd like to keep the formatting (color, font, size etc) similar to what I have on my site (http://cogoed.com/).

     

    However, I'd like to have the functionality of jotform (conditions, drop downs) etc. the functionality I would like is available on the form I've created here http://form.jotform.us/form/41957151636156?

    Thanks again for the great support!

    So, basically you need to embed your JotForm in  your site, instead of the one you currently have, but, you would like your JotForm form look alike the one that is currently on your site. 

    Wen can start styling the form injecting CSS code:

    .form-textbox {

    width: 254px;

    min-height: 10px;

    color: #4F4F4F;

    font-family: open-sans, sans-serif;

    font-weight: 400;

    padding: 23px 6px 6px 15px;

    margin-left: -25px;

    background: #E9E9E9;

    outline: none;

    border: 1px solid #C4C4C4;

    border-radius: 5px;

    margin-top: -12px;

    }

    So the text boxes would look like this:

    Regarding the background, I do no know if you could provide us the URL of it?

    I still need to work more on the form, but I will get back to you as soon as possible. I will try to make it as much similar as I can, You can take a look at my sample form here: http://form.jotform.co/form/41975739354872

    Thank you David, really appreciate it.

    In the link it appears the drop down sections aren't uniform with the text fields. Would you be able to make all the fields uniform even if some are drop downs and other text fields?

    Hi, this is what i got so far:

    How to replicate a form I have in my site? Image 1 Screenshot 20

    You can look a it a this link: http://form.jotform.co/form/41977863447875.

    Also you can clone it in your account following this guide: How to Clone an Existing Form from a URL.

    It still needs some styling, as you may see the submit button would not show up in Google Chrome, it does as shown in the image in Firefox.

    I will try to give it more style and fix the submit button viewing issue. Hope you like it, it is a pleasure to assist you.

    Thanks David. Unfortunately, this is what I am seeing ...http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag180/YasirK/Screenshot2014-07-17at110644PM_zps651af10f.png

    @CoGoEd

    Can you please tell us what is the browser you are using? My Chrome and Firefox shows exactly what David shows, this way we can find a better solution to display the form properly in all browsers.

    Kind regards.

    Hi, once it is embedded it will have this effect (as the one your current form has): 

    How to replicate a form I have in my site? Image 1 Screenshot 20

    When the mouse  hovers the form, it will look like in the left form, when the mouse doesn't, it will look like in the right form.

    I will try to figure out how to make it look the same in all browsers, I may need to ask for my colleagues help. By the way, did you clone the form on your account?

  • CoGoEd

    @Jeanette - I'm using Chrome on Mac OSX 10.6.8. I get the same results in safari as well. 

     

     @David - thanks again for your continued assistance! I did clone the form and the "sign up" button is still not functioning normally. Aditionally, would you be able to center the "Free First Session" text and remove the white line below it? Ideally, i'd like the form to look as similar to this http://cogoed.com/index.html as possible. 

     

    Thank you all again!

    I see David has taken ownership of this, he will get back to you once he gets online.

    @CoGoEd Sorry for the delay, I have centered the text and removed the line:How to replicate a form I have in my site? Image 1 Screenshot 30

    The submit button would show as in the above images when the mouse hovers the button, check form here. I would appreciate if you could send me the URL to this image button:
