Re: Need help with HTMLArea in Cforms
Hi Leszek,
Well, I got your answer and then had to go work on other things
instead! But I'm still a little confused, see below....

OK, that all makes sense... but then why is it that the sample does not
seem to have this problem? The workaround you show isn't in the
template for the
sample, yet the reply page sent upon submission of the form correctly
shows the HTML generated by the htmlarea control...
Not Getting It, :-)

cForms - schemas
Posted by Lee Carroll <le...@pear-partnership.co.uk>.
Hi,
I've just started using cforms - very cool. Are their any xsd's which
describe the various cform documents.
Particularly model , template, template style and binding namespaces. The
docs and examples are great but a complete reference of
elements, attribute and enumurations would be invaluable for some one like
me starting out
Cheers Lee C

Never mind, I do get it... :-)
The sample doesn't use an <fd:submit> widget, it avoids the problem by
using a raw HTML <input>.
