Adding HTML attributes to a field
There are two places to attach HTML to a field. Use the Field Extra HTML tab on the Field Properties box, or use the HTML Attributes field event to attach HTML formatting attributes to editable fields. By adding HTML code to a text field you can, for example, lengthen that field when it is viewed through a browser.

To add HTML attributes using the Field Properties box:

1. Double-click the field you want to format.

3. In the Other HTML tag field, enter the HTML code (without quotes) -- for example, to resize a text field from its default size of 20):


4. Save the form.

4. Save the form.
