Not Grasping How to Make Form Control Labels - Activating E-mail boxes

1. I'm not grasping how to resolve the "Form Control has no Label" error codes. I see the AA Label object and not correctly associating the labels. https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/seo_assistant.html The instructions are somewhat confusing & vague to me - do I "drag" the "AA Label" into the fields? (I'm using a cosmetically modified WWB contact block)? I attempted to label in "form8name" but no success.

2. I'm also confused how to get the emails to work with my providers (choice of Google or Hostlinger). When I sent myself a test after giving the approvals for Google Gmail & Outlook (my client email), the message box appears but the sent email does not go anywhere. Would another person trying to contact me run into the same problem? I'm not grasping the additional parameters for the handshake to both my host (Hostinger & Google).

3) I'm not sure if you need the master page when I upload and did not load any images.

4) This is the last hurdle before publishing! Much Thanks!

You need to select the object which belongs to the label in the "For" dropdown.

Your contact page does not have a form.
You will need to check the 'Enable form' for the layout grid.

Okay, I resolved the Header labels (ie Name, Email, Message) fine. The problem is with the edit boxes in this WWB contact block. If you look at my project again, I'm striking out with the form fields. For example, with the "Enter Your Name" field, I have entered the following: "Type: text," "Name" (should this be called "form8Name"??) - there is NO dropdown box already in Editbox field UNLESS I drag a "label object" onto the work area. In this case, there is a dropdown but then it has the name of Label8 which doesn't appear in the dropdown. If I create the label, then try to use that instead of the text field, still no progress and it's hard to equate with the instructions what to use for the Name, value, placeholder - to either get something to work with the editboxes that are already in the WWB contact form I used? I don't know why I'm so dense trying to making this work, but I'm wondering if I'm working with a obsolete form block - not able to parallel the fields properly. FRUSTRATED

Update: All but two "Form Control has no label" SEO errors have been resolved. The only way to make this work was to use a new label object for each error area, then eliminate the problematic edit boxes, do the cosmetic reformatting.

So the only remaining questions are for "Enter Your Message Here" textboxes that use the text area with scrollbar. I can't associate a label name with it so then do I have to create a new text area w/scroll? Then I'm back to the same problem - how to associate with a form object name to eliminate the "Form Control has no label" for these two "Enter Your Message Here." The project is still loaded on my Google Drive and you can see the "Enter Your Message Here" files with scrollbars (TextArea1 & TextArea2). Everything else has been resolved. Thanks!

You are making it much more complicated than it needs to be.

I can't associate a label name with it so then do I have to create a new text area w/scroll?

No, you do not have to create new text area you can create a label the same way as for other elements.

In the DEMO project you have shared, you already have labels. So all you will have to do is select the 'text area' in the 'For property.

You have many duplicated objects. You can reuse the form elements in breakpoints. I suggest is to keep it simple.

Also, in my opinion you have too many breakpoints. For example, why do you need a 1280px breakpoint?

Thank you Pablo. I had the extra breakpoints so to allow me to have a smooth transition between different screen sizes. I know you've said not more than two were needed, but since I have a lot of type, that I am able to gradually resize and control the font sizes. I respect if that's overkill and I'm trying too hard. The problem with the two message areas with the scrollbars, I will look at the text area in the "for" property and revisit this in the morning. I will cut down on the breakpoints also - too wrapped up in the font sizing and positioning.

I will look at the text area in the "for" property and revisit this in the morning.

You can find the 'for' dropdown in the label's properties.

[scribeman01]

I get the "dropdown" in label properties. What I don't get is how to associate the label name with a "form area," other than a Editbox. OK, so I do the label and the "dropdown for the specific textarea object (with scrollbar) but I'm still stuck with the label object and the text area. How do I merge them? If I delete one of them, well then I'm back to square one or forced to use the label editbox instead of the text object with scrollbar. I'm fine with everything else.

[Pablo]

In your demo project.
'form8LabelMessage' is the label
'form8Message' is the textarea

Step 1
Double click 'form8LabelMessage' to open the properties.

Step 2
Select 'form8Message' in the 'For' property.
