Do you want to add a hyperlink to your form? Or maybe you want to add general text, explaining the purpose of the form you are building? With our description area fields option, you can achieve the above and so much more, as our description area field option is an easy way to add HTML to achieve great results with your form.
Adding a description area field
While you are in the form builder, towards the right-hand side there is a section called "General Fields." Under here, select the option Description Area and either double-click on the field or drag and drop the field onto your form.
At a first glance, it might not appear you can add anything to the Description Area. Double click on the label where it says "Text." From here, you can type any text you'd like to add to your form.
Customizing your description area with HTML
What if you want to bold or italicize the text you've added? Or maybe you want to add a hyperlink? Either way, with HTML you can write code to achieve the above.
Not familiar with HTML? There are a number of websites that allow you to format the text you need that will automatically display the HTML code on the right.
Then, copy and paste this HTML into your Description Area and your formatted text will appear on your form.
