To get started, with the URL of the website where you want to accept submissions. Later, there will be a section on testing for a development setup.
Next, copy and paste the script tag into any page where you want BetterForm to capture submissions. We strongly recommend leaving async and defer for optimized website performance. We will still capture any forms submitted to those pages!
To start using a form, add the betterform
attribute to the form tag in your HTML.
Next, add a hidden input with a value that corresponds to the name of your form.
Finally, add name
attributes to all inputs that you want to submit to your project.
To indicate to the user if the submission was successful, create HTML elements and add the appropriate attribute to make them visible after submission. The HTML elements must be inside the form to be displayed. Ensure the element is hidden by default with style="display: none"
.
Hide by Default: style="display: none"
✅ Success: data-bf-success
⛔️ Error: data-bf-error
Submit your form from localhost for development testing. We will validate that everything is set up properly and return success if it works as expected.
That's it 🎉 You're ready to launch your website and start receiving submissions.
