Forms not working

Hello:

I experiencing problems with getting forms to work. Perhaps I've forgotten some steps somewhere. I've integrated FCKeditor 2.6.x with mediawiki (latest version for both) successfully.

I can see the forms icons and I am able to click on them and create forms (weather check box, radio button etc). The problem occurs when I click Save Page. The forms (check box) would be converted to code only eg:

<input type="radio" name="Like It" value="Like It"></input>Like It
<input type="radio" name="Hate It" value="Hate It"></input>Hate It

Is there some more formatting that I have to do to have this form working properly? I search the document looking for ways to configure the forms but could not find any.

Any help is appropriated...

Re: Forms not working

Are you looking for some kind of form processing ability, perhaps integrating into Mediawiki or something? FCKeditor is only an HTML editor - it won't / can't do your backend work for you...

Or am I missing something? What you post is what I'd expect from the editor.

Re: Forms not working

Thanks for the reply Les.

OK So I'm guessing that the forms (radio button etc) will be converted to code rather then the graphical button. Perhaps I misunderstood it's intent.

I thought that by clicking on a form button and seeing the actual button on the page, once I click submit it would retain that button. Further to that I could then create logic and capture the result of those form buttons. I will research ways to creating an interactive form and ways to capture results of that form, unless you have some samples I could use :lol:
