Additional functionality requested: 'Contact Form Object' 
Autor: Tristram B.Hello,
I've been looking at the Field Types in the Contact Form Object to see what functions I can take advantage of when creating a means of collecting information from Users of my website. I've also been looking at non WX5 solutions like:
- Google Docs/Forms
- The Android App FormsApp
- The Android App SurveyHeart
What I'm missing from the WX5 Contact Form Object, is the ability to add images or video within the Form itself. I appreciate the Contact Form Object has a primary use for most users of WX5. I'm looking to expand on what is already in place, to make it even better! As stated, I see other developers of contact forms have this ability already in place and would very much like to see the above added to the Field Types.
QUESTION(S):
Is this something the WX5 Development Team would, or have considered adding to the Object before?
I ask because I'd like to be able to create surveys with a visual element WITHIN the Form itself. Something I can see elsewhere but unfortunately not within WX5.
If for some reason I'm missing something, and there currently IS a way to do this, I'd very much appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction with a few clear steps to follow to make it happen.
If however, my understanding is correct and it's currently not a function of the Object, can you please look at the possibility of adding it?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Bovell
On the page with the contact-form you can add optional objects - these objects could be images, videos, text or other things.
In the mail the conmtact form sends to the use, it is able to add html code.
Is this near to what you men?
If you want something inside the form itself (but why do you want this????) then you could use some code - maybe?
Maybe you could specify some more - then maybe some of the users could tell if it is possible - and if not - then the developers of X5 would know what it is you are asking for.

I'm interested to know more about using code, as the media itself would be needed WITHIN the form as previously stated. Could you please explain where this would be added?
It will require you could give a link to a form and then specify exactly what it is you want to achieve.
Maybe I cannot help you - but then maybe someone else can.
If no one can help, at least INCOMEDIA will then know what it is you need.

There is no link for me to share, as I've not published anything yet, that aside, I don't feel my request is complicated or difficult to understand.
I completely understand how to use image and text objects, they are not the solution I'm looking for and that's not what I'm asking about.
I'm asking the development team at Incomedia to have a Field Type option WITHIN the Contact Form Object - that enables me to add an image or video. I think this request is clear.
Hello:
Youtube videos and images can be embedded in forms.
1) You have to choose the "Description" field.
2) In the text box you paste the iframe that they provide on youtube. If it is a file on your page you put this code with the video tag:
----
<video width = "320" height = "240" controls>
<source src = "https://www.yoursite.com/files/name.mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
----
NOTE: If it is video on your hosting, it will only be visible when uploading it, that is, it is not seen in the preview since you have to change the link of the code
3) To insert images use the following tag:
<iframe width = "100%" height = "660" src = "https://www.yoursite.com/files/name.jpg";> </iframe>
You will also have to upload the image to a folder to obtain the link. and edit the height and width.
The form would look like this.

Hope this helps, these are the immediate things I would like to see in the update... I encourage others to add their suggestions if they have any positive suggestions to add to the mix.

Great response Miguel G. your suggestion took me partway to where I want to be. However, I'm having issues with the resizing of the media when viewed using different resolutions/device screen sizes. Ideally, the media would automatically adjust to the size of the screen it's being viewed on - WITHOUT the need for scroll bars within the form itself. I had this issue and needed to mess about with the code (width and height).
I think this is something where the Development Team could make life easier for us by making the Object handle these elements behind the scenes in the same way the Video and Audio Object automatically handles the resizing of media dependent on the screen being used.
Thank you for taking the time to share your suggestion, it moved me forward from where I was originally.
Development Team, over to you!
Hi:
As you mentioned, it is something a bit more complicated with the code.
I leave you these labels, it is only a matter of trying different resolutions, maximum and minimum of "width".
For video:
<video controls autoplay style='width:100%;max-width:600px;min-width:320px;'>
<source src = "https://www.yoursite.com/files/name.mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
For image:
<img src = "https://www.yoursite.com/files/name.jpg" style='width:100%;max-width:600px;min-width:320px;'>
It can be done through CSS for each resolution in your project, but it is more complicated.
Greetings
