Dear friend Pablo,

There is no standard solution for resizable Checkbox and Radio Button objects.

Friend Pablo, I would like to warn the visitor when some form field of my site was empty, but in warning I would not like to reveal the name of that field (not a friendly name). In the "validate field" option I understood that in the warning I can not change the name of the field that is empty. Example: create a nickname (alias name).
I thought of putting a button (Radio Button?) next to each form field that filled automatically when the empty field was filled out.
So, instead of revealing the name of the field that was empty the warning reveals the name of the button (Radio Button?) next, which would have a friendly name. It is possible? If so, how would I do it? (If you wish to see, the form is at

I'm sorry, I do not know if my doubt was clear, because I speak Portuguese.

You can fully customize the validation warning by using the "Error message" property.

Sorry, but I'm trying to use the "Error Message" property without success.
After clicking on the form field, in "Editbox" -> "Validate" and tick "Data required", I tried to use several options in "Data type" (No Constraints, Text and Number), but the error message does not appear.
(after trying the validation I published ALL the files of the site again, but it did not solve)

My reply was related to the checkbox, not the edit box.

Sorry, but would it be possible to check the "Checkbox" - automatically - when the visitor types in the numeric field? That is, make a link between the two form fields.

This cannot be done 'visually'. It will require scripting.

Friend Pablo, I tried to put a "Mode" -> "Info bubble (real-time)" warning to prevent some empty field in the form of my site.
When I do "Preview in Brouser" (on my computer) the effect works, but when I publish on the Internet the effect does not work (I've posted it along with all the files on my site).

Did you publish all files?
Re: Form Controls

Yes, I published all the files on my site (including wb.validation.css etc.)
My form is not in the root of the site, it is inside a separate folder (along with the file wb.validation.css). Does this cause the problem?

If it works locally then it should also work online, there is no difference.
The only reason I can think of, is when files are missing or a naming conflict.

Friend Pablo, you are correct, some file was not published. The form is now OK. Once again. thank you so much.

Friend Pablo, in the contact form of my site I would like to include a field Date (Y; M; D) where the date appears automatically, without being necessary the visitor to fill. It is possible?

Did you try the Date Picker in the toolbox?

I would like to automatically display the date (Y; M; D) in the contact form field (date), with no need for the visitor to do anything, click or change anything.

That is possible with the date picker.

Dear Pablo,
I put in the contact form of my website a CAPTCHA provided by WWB 16, but unfortunately it cannot prevent SPAMS that I receive daily (many sent through the domain "@mail.ru"). Please, would you know how to help me with a more efficient solution?

There is not much you can do to prevent spam even with the use of Captchas. If someone wants to sit and fill your form manually to spam daily then they will. You can try block the IP or a range of IP' addresses but they will simply use another to continue.
