1.1. Introduction

What does it do?

It is an easy to use formgenerator. The complete configuration can be made with a graphical interface. It is based on Typo3's mailform plugin. Mailform is extended with fieldsets and database driven <select>-fields. A special <select>-configuration is added. It is now possible to create <select>-fields which depend on each other, e.g. country -> province. It also supports multi-page forms and a user management for each single field. It provides an on the fly validation of all textfields.

The forms in the Frontend can be be completely styled via CSS. Every element got its own lable field and a <div> container with an unique class and id. A basic CSS file is created when finishing the wizard. You can use almost every character set due to complete UTF-8 encoding.
