Do forms need to be on static pages?
-

I've just tried to submit the html code of a form done in dreamweaver into a normal content page using the HTML button.
It seems to strip the <form> and </form> tags. No matter what I try - it keeps stripping those tags.
Do I need to wrap forms within a static content page then?
What I am doing wrong - Thanks.

I make my forms in Dreamweaver, too, and if you have a textarea in your form you definitely can't use a WYSIWYG text editor because the editor itself is a textarea.
What I do, to include the form in a content item, is install the kl_php mambot (which lets you use php code within a content item). Then I upload the form file to the server and in the content item type this:
{kl_php}include("myform.html");{/kl_php}
This will insert the contents of myform.html into the content item wherever this code is placed.

Thanks Donna.
So I can't use the insert HTML option within the intro text box?
It's kinda weird that it translates all the HTML code well - apart from the form tags.
I think I'm still missing something.

Try this: (Assuming you are using Tinymce.)
User Manager - Select yourself - change editor to NO WYSIWYG
On your admin backend
Site - Global settings - Default WYSIWYG Editor: Set to NO WYSIWYG Editor:
Then go to Mambots - Site mambots - TinyMCE - click it
On the right you will see an option box - Code Cleanup - Set it to NO
Tinymce automatically strips out some html code by default, this will stop it from doing that. I have 2 admin user accounts, one with default no WYSIWYG and one with my editor. When I have to publish something special, like a form, I use the no WYSIWYG account.
