TizzyTazzy Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 So far 80%+ of my customers have entered the full hostname and full ns1/ns2 when signing up when really they are only suppose to enter server instead of server.domain.com. Hostname: eg. server1(.yourdomain.com) NS1 Prefix: eg. ns1(.yourdomain.com) NS2 Prefix: eg. ns2(.yourdomain.com) Could someone tell me what I need to edit so that it says "server" and "ns1" and "ns2" in the text box so people can see and understand more clearly what they are suppose to type? In most cases they would just leave it to the "default" I set for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoofyFrog Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 You could say enter hostname (Prefix only) and then include an example (server, ns1 ns2,) and a message not to include the full domain? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbrennae Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Several methods could work for this.... You could use some kind of fancy JavaScript that appends the text they are entering with .yourdomain.com and as they type the text is shown for them. Then on form submit strip out the .yourdomain.com part befor the request gets sent to the server. You could do a [textbox].yourdomain.com You could use CSS and JavaScript to set a background image on the textbox that moves with the text making it appear that the text is actually in the textbox but really it's a image that tracks the text as its entered using background position CSS parameters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
