I use the same form on multiple pages. When I make a change, I need to change the form on all pages.
With a text field/name on the form it would be much easier to know what form is being used on a given page.

We have a lot of pages and try to have a form on most popular ones.
Thanks in advance.

I would place your form HTML into its own dedicated HTML with only the form code. You could then insert it into your pages using either iframes or a server side include. That way, only one files would ever need to be updated.

Thank you for the reply.

I actually tested this method over the weekend and all worked fine.

The one issue with this is I select one of the drop down question options for each page so each page has a specific selection showing.

You can see this at the following URLs:

Thanks again. At least I know I was on the right track when looking at your suggested method.

Regards,

In looking back at an old post I made on January 23, 2016 your comment to my comments on "checking" a specific item in a drop down from a specific form used on multiple pages was:

"Unfortunately, since it is referencing the same HTML, changing which drop down item is pre-selected without some custom javascript or other programming is not possible. "

I've been using MS FrontPage for over 20 years and it's real easy to do this with FrontPage. Here's an example on our two newest pages.

We needed to find a form application we could embed in our web pages to replace the built-in form app in FrontPage that went away when ISPs stopped loading the FrontPage Server Extensions.

Also, I add the top line in each form simply by going to the beginning of the "Select the items that apply, and then let us know how to contact you. *" line, back space 1 more space and hit an enter. Then enter and format the heading on the new line. You'll see two different form headings on these two forms.

We've been using MyContactForm for over 5 years now and has done a good job for us.
