Steps to follow:

• You may wish to switch on the display of hidden fields - icon on web tool bar
• Insert a "Submit button" from the Form Design Control Panel
• View the properties of the Submit button by selecting properties from the Panel
• Change the action and method properties (see FormMail page)
• Add 3 "hidden" fields and set the properties of these:

  HTMLName to 1. recipient 2. email 3. SUBJECT;

  Value to 1. your-email 2. formmail-1@www.qub.ac.uk 3. your-form-name

• Add text-boxes, checkboxes etc as required
• For each of these change the properties for the HTMLName field
• For checkboxes these can have a default of checked (true)
• For radio buttons make sure that each has exactly the same name. These can be defaulted and the value used to differentiate which button is selected
