Creating text form buttons

A text form button is a standard browser-style default button which contains the text you want displayed, such as Submit, Reset, Send, or Calculate Order.

To create a text button:

1 Place the insertion point inside the form outline, then do one of the following:
Choose Insert > Form Object > Button.
In the Objects panel's Forms category, click the Insert Button icon.
2 In the Property inspector's Button Name field, type a name for the button.
Note: There are two reserved names: Submit, which submits the form data for processing, and Reset, which resets all the form fields to their original values.
3 In the Property inspector's Label field, type the text you want to appear on the button.
4 In the Action field, do one of the following:
Select Submit to submit the form for processing when the button is clicked.
Select Reset to reset the form when the button is clicked.
Select None to activate a different action based on the processing script when the button is clicked, for example, to calculate a total.
