Sophisticated Interaction AND Simple to Use
As you can see, Master Form V4 is very sophisticated software. Yet it is quite easy to work with.
You tell Master Form V4 what to do with
hidden fields in the form and templates with "placeholders".
Hidden Fields
A form field invisible to the user but which supplies information to Master Form V4.
Templates
A template is a file used to determine the format of another file that Master form will create such as an email, a database, an HTML page.
Placeholders
Placeholders can be any form field name, including hidden field names. In addition, Master Form V4 has special placeholders to be used for current date, current time, custom error message, and other specialized tasks.
Once you purchase Master Form V4, your downloaded package will contain the CGI software generated just for your domain
plus
many ready-made examples of different types of forms to get you started.

Master Form V4 to Their Clients.
"With Master Form I set up a typical form in a quarter of
the time. It has paid itself off after the first form."

"Wow! I love this product. I've been designing websites since 1998 and have had the worst time programming my forms. I can't believe how quickly I just got my first form to work."
