Hey there ... simple question; How can I change who a SUBMIT button emails for responses? I'm guessing it is defaulted to Jotform account site, and I have to go there to get repossess, but can I have the submit button on my form be directed to my own email (not just as a notification)?
Thanks,

Hi, Could you tell me how to apply CSS3 to make the colour slide up the button when hovered over?
Thanks.
Does this feature depend on the form? I use a card form and the form designer only shows "Themes" and "Individual" where I can set some (not all colors) but no CSS.
i have written this code in form
and in head i have written
.form-submit-button {
background: #0066A2;
color: white;
border-style: outset;
border-color: #0066A2;
height: 50px;
width: 100px;
font: bold 15px arial, sans-serif;
text-shadow:none;
}
its not working now wht should i do???
Hi there, I'd like to have a spacing/padding around my su_button, so that the buttons are more on their own instead of attached to eachother. What code do I have to use?
height, padding-bottom only give me higher buttons, but I just need more space around it.

Hi, what a cool idea!
I am having a few issues submitting my theme.
1.) The thumbnail for my form is not ideal. Because my form embeds Youtube, one gets a black screen.
2.) When I try to remove screenshots, I can't. Do you have a recommended size?
3.) Even though I am trying to change the price to $10, it keeps displaying "Free" when I save.
Thanks!
Nick
