Tips:

1. You can make a hyperlink as caption text. e.g. <a href=’http://www.propagator.net’>Propagator</a>.Don’t forget to use single quote marks to contain attributes.

2. You can disable the caption bar background,Just set bar alpha to “0″ by setBarAlpha() method or store the value in IMGOWL tags for smarty.

3. You can make the caption bar to solid box,Just set bar alpha to “100″ by setBarAlpha() method or store the value in IMGOWL tags for smarty.

4. You can add colorful caption on your photo. Since you can write caption in HTML.So that you can use HTML <font color=..> tags to achieve.

5. You can show photos in full mask for unregistered user or non-login user by setBarHeight. It’s very great idea.

e.g: You have a photo,photo’s height is 300 pixels.

For non-login user,you can use setBarHeight method to set barHeight to “300″ pixel and barAlpha is “80″.So your photo will show in full mask. The mask is almost solid.

For login user,change the “barHeight” to “0″ and barAlpha to “0″,too. Your photo will show normally. Voila.

FAQ:

Q: Could I remove {catform} tag when there’s only a form in page?

A: No. Each form must be registered by {catform} tag before it can be validated.

Q: I’ve used Formcat,but I can’t see the validate javascript in page source?

A: You must check that the {catform} and {formcat check=”"} are exist.And the page should be have <form> html tag. Formcat just can detect three format of <form> tag. They are <form>,<Form>,<FORM>.If your form tag is <FoRm>.the formcat can’t detect it.

Q: Formcat can support multi-form in one page?

Q: What differents from Formcat lite and Formcat pro?

A: Pro version and Lite version has the same function and features.Only different is : lite version has few file,it’s compact but inefficient.Pro version separated all validators and put them into validators folder.it’s easy to extend.


Q: Why I can’t see the FlashFocus in Netscape? However it can run in IE and Opera.

A: At first it’s not a bug from Formcat,just from compatibility of browsers.I ‘ve found that how to solve it.It can’t run in Netscape if the <form ..> tags has no “id” attribute. Just add “id” attribute into your html <form..> tag.f
