For this weeks network aesthetics lesson, we had to create forms using static HTML in Coda.
To accomplish this I had to use two online form building tools and paste the code into Coda.
Form 1 – Freedback
Initally I had to sign up to the website, and create a free account that allowed me to create ONE form using their web tool. This is how the dashboard looks
I then had to add all the different questions/question types as well as the answers I wanted. There was also further advanced options for when the form has been completed.
I then copied the code they gave me and pasted it into coda. This is what the code produced when viewed through a browser.
Form 2 – JotForm
The second tool I used was JotForm.
This is what the form building page looks like with tools to add questions and change the CSS of the form
This is the code the tool produced and what I copied into my coda file. On the right is a preview of what the form page looks like through a browser.
