Adding an email validation to your email form

When someone fills in your email form you should always make sure that the email address he/she fills in is valid so you can easily get back to them. This means that the email address should be correct in its syntax and it must also exist (since there is no problem making up an email address or typing it incorrectly by mistake).
The email validation option may only be activated from within the "email element", so if you haven't got this element in your email form you will need to add it.

Take Note!
This option will not work in Safari/IE6/IE7 or in forms smaller than 220x220 pixels.


Steps to use the Email Validation option:

1) Enter your email form in the form creator.

2) Select your email element and go to the "element settings" on the right.


3) Turn on the "email validation" checkbox and the "mandatory" checkbox as well.
The reason for turning on the "mandatory" checkbox is that in order for the email validation you must be sure that the user filled it in.



4) Press on "apply".

5) Save the email form.

6) When a form filler will try to submit your email form a window will appear, asking him to validate his/her email address.
The user will then have to click on the link to send himself a validation email. Once this email arrives in the user's mailbox he/she will need to copy the key number in it to the validation textbox in the validation window - and only then will they be able to submit your email form.
