Configuration options and settings[edit | edit source]
When adding links to your form, it is important to consider the following configurations:
- The option of using the **HTML Code** field is designed primarily for advanced users who are comfortable with HTML coding.
- The **HTML Code** field can only be used with inline forms. This limitation means that you cannot use it in floating bar, floating box, or modal forms.
- You have the capability to add multiple **HTML Code** fields to a single inline form, providing flexibility in how much information and how many links you can include.
Best practices and tips[edit | edit source]
To get the most out of adding links to your form, consider following these best practices:
- **Be Clear and Concise**: When creating links to your Privacy Policy or Terms of Service, make sure the text is clear so users understand where they are being directed.
- **Test Links**: Ensure that you test the links you add to your form to verify they are working correctly before publishing your form.
- **Style Your Links**: Use CSS styling within your HTML code to ensure your links match the overall design of your form and are easily noticeable by users.
- **Place Strategically**: Consider the placement of your links within the form to ensure they are visible but do not distract from the main purpose of the form.
Troubleshooting[edit | edit source]
If you encounter issues while trying to add links to your form, here are some common troubleshooting steps:
- **Check Compatibility**: Ensure that you are using an inline form type, as the **HTML Code** field is not supported by floating bars, floating boxes, or modal types.
- **Verify HTML Code**: If the link is not displaying as intended, double-check your HTML code for syntax errors or formatting issues.
- **Clear Cache**: Sometimes changes may not immediately reflect due to cached content. Clear your browser cache and reload the form page.
