Readme First

This document explains the usage and conditions of usage of LiveFORM. This document will be cleaned up very soon for language and clarity.

If you accept the terms of license and the conditions for modifying LiveFORM as given below you could use LiveFORM on your website. These conditions are meant to keep LiveFORMs on different sites compatible so they could be auto-filled and our lawyers forced us to have the license. The conditions are documented in the source code also.

Usage:
The form is documented and the areas that need to be changed have comments beginning with string "WebMaster" for easy searching. The form contains all the fields that are supported for auto-fill operation. For quick conversion of your old forms to LiveFORM refer to the instructions for conversion. The complete process should take less than 4 minutes. You can remove fields that are not needed and add fields of your choice(see how below). The visual layout and the labels could be as per your choice. You have 15 days free email support.

Platforms supported:
LiveFORM uses standard JavaScript and HTML and hence is platform independent. However, it has been tested on Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT and Solaris operating systems acting as client systems. It has been tested with Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Explorer version 3.0 and above. If you notice any bugs on these or other platforms, please send us an email at lfbugs@patils.com.

1. You can copy the form and install it on your site for non-commercial usage.
2. You may use CGI guestbook.cgi script from our servers so that any data filled-out in your form gets submitted to our CGI handler and which will then mail the form data to you. This could be done in cases where the user does not want to or can not install CGI scripts on their servers. To control the load on our servers, we ask that you use our servers only after getting an OK from us to do so. This is a free service but you need to send mail to guestbook@patils.comfor getting approval. After a certain number of users we will stop offering this free service to new users. You do not need to inform us if you do not plan to use guestbook.cgi script from our server.
3. The form name is case sensitive and should be LiveFORM.
4. The form should contain the original copyright message of Patil Systems in the top section of the HTML document.
5. The form should contain the original version number and copyright field unaltered.
6. If any GIF images are used, they should be used unaltered.
7. You can add any number of fields and remove any fields from the form. However if you are interested in a certain type of data for which the form has a predefined variable, then you should use that field name. i.e. if you are interested in getting user's email address then you should use "email" as the form field name since it is defined in the LiveFORM. The visible label, however, could be as defined by you. Whereas if you are interested in knowing which magazine the user reads the most then you could make up your own name since it is not a pre-defined variable.
