If you want to present something like this then you would have to do it manually. In terms of managing this for different users and stages though you can also control whether that 'red star' is visible in the same way that you are defining that the field is mandatory or not for that stage and role.<br /> check it out here:<br /> <a href="http://www.perfectforms.com/Documentation/manual/html/field_access_and_field_states.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.perfectforms.com/Documentation/manual/html/field_access_and_field_states.htm</a> </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/marking-mandatory-fields#post-1454 Fri, 21 May 2010 12:14:14 +0000 mpstratfold 1454@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>I've set some fields as mandatory within my form. Can PerfectFroms automatically indicate to the user that the field is mandatory. The convention might be to add a red-star.</p> <p>I guess I could do this manually for all mandatory fields, but what is mandatory may change depending upon the users and stage. It could be very tricky to manage.</p> <p>Did I miss something?

Consequently this shows up as "unamed" in the edit forms panel on the dashboard. Is there anyway of rectifying this for existing form instances, all of which are permanently "open".<br /> Regards. </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/ip-address-from-browser#post-1273 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:45:20 +0000 ajobling 1273@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>The example form is now available to download from here.</p> <p><a href="http://www.perfectforms.com/Documentation/manual/html/?fg_calling_javascript_from_a_form.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.perfectforms.com/Documentation/manual/html/?fg_calling_javascript_from_a_form.htm</a> </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/ip-address-from-browser#post-1256 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:31:59 +0000 ijobling 1256@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>No. Call Javascript will just support javascript </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/ip-address-from-browser#post-1255 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:28:12 +0000 simond 1255@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>is it possible to use VBscript instead of javascript? </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/ip-address-from-browser#post-1250 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:11:04 +0000 ijobling 1250@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>Sorry, but the form is not available to download at the current time.<br /> what is it though that you are struggling with? based on your initial 'how to return IP address, look at the second 'example' where the javascript function is:<br /> function myFunction()<br /> //This function will return the string "Hello World!" back to the form<br /> {<br /> return ("Hello world!");</p> <p>and then in your CallJavascript you enter in the name of the function (myFunction) and set the return target to the field you want "Hello world!" returned to </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/ip-address-from-browser#post-1249 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:48:03 +0000 simond 1249@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>I only ask as you show a mechanic how to strip an engine down, you don't just give him a haynes manual and go there you are you're a mechanic! </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/ip-address-from-browser#post-1248 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 10:48:39 +0000 simond 1248@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>Yeah,I've read this.

Here are the options it has boiled down to:</p> <p>•Use a text label that has html formatting capability, but no ability to scroll through text<br /> •Use a Multiline Text Input marked read-only that has scrolling, but no formatting</p> <p>Is there a way to customize a control to add capability that is needed? Is there a way to do html formatting on the multiline text input? Is there a way to make the text label scroll? (I tried putting it inside of a group... is there something else that would force the flex framework to generate the scroll bar?) Is there a way to use vertical slider to force a position inside of the text label?</p> <p>Any other way to accomplish the entire set of features?

You do NOT use the util.js. You embed your form to your own website page and on that page add in your java script </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/ip-address-from-browser#post-1078 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:22:00 +0000 simond 1078@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>If we're using a hosted solution is this available?
