Federal News Network: The hidden vulnerability: Why legacy government web forms demand urgent attention. “Government agencies face a security challenge hiding in plain sight: outdated web forms that collect citizen data through systems built years — sometimes decades — ago. While agencies invest heavily in perimeter security and advanced threat detection, many continue using legacy forms […]

Not just the modal. Or the tab. Or the window. The ENTIRE BROWSER.

Thanks for assuming I was done with the internet. And for conflating a statement with a question, just to pour salt in the wound.

Today, @liberaforms released a new version including our work on its Dockerfile.

As explained on the project blog:

"The Dockerfile has been improved in many ways, but most notably, it now uses a multi-stage build. As a result, the final image now only includes the runtime dependencies, and not the development ones any more. This led to a significant size reduction of ~43%! It also helps reduce the attack surface as development tools that can be used to craft exploits, such as gcc, are now absent from the final image."

This is a first step of a global enhancement regarding the containerisation of LiberaForms. Our next objective is to remove the use of the root account for running the service.

Need a simple way to collect donations in Drupal? I put together a quick walkthrough on using Stripe + Webforms to build a secure, flexible donation form.

Also keeping an eye on a new Stripe Donation Recipe that could simplify things even more once it’s ready.

Dear web form creators!When you provide a multiline <textarea> input field please do not squash my fondly edited paragraphs into one big mess of a single line.Why this is so awful you ask?- Bullet point lists get completely obliterated.- I intentionally split my text into meaningful paragraphs and you remove that context.- It’s extra dumb if you don’t add single spaces between those joined linesKind regardsYour users

Curious what y’all call this type of form input. I have my own name (won’t share just yet as to not taint the answers), but I rarely find that everyone uses the same name for it.

While I’m primarily targeting UI designers/developers, I’m happy to see answers from anyone.

What do y’all call it?

3 simple CSS tricks for added form validation customization.

I've got some multi-step forms in vue, so proceeding to the next step is done via JS, not a real page navigation.
So I need to reset the focus to the top of the form. Following your book's chapter "Move Focus" I have given my entire form a tabindex="-1" and this seems to work.
Would you recommend some extra feedback that something that feels like navigation has just happened? Something along aria-live="polite"?

Forms are useful for collecting information from visitors. From a basic newsletter signup or contact form, to getting specific details to help with following up. Here are the types of forms you can use and what form fields to include.

Hey, @ProPublica. I took one of your surveys, because I love you. And I'm sharing this with you, because I love you.

You have a number of these questions that should use radio buttons (single answer) but instead use checkboxes (multiple answers).

Talk with your devs. They can fix this for you.

I've finally launched into a test instance of #Civicrm within #wordpress looking at the range of functionality - particularly around #memberships #events and #webforms for #subscriptions - Im interested to what degree i might need to look at #webforms plugins and what #Opensource options are out there.

@bigTanuki regular #WebForms like for submission & contact forms?

The problem oftentimes is not the "ingress" but the #backoffice using a #CRM / #ERP and #ticketing system and #OTRS for that matter is so clunky, I did in fact setup #Jira #ServiceDesk on-prem in 2019!

#Webforms are often used by organisations as the initial step in getting problems reported.

This is part of the #ComplaintProcess, and #DisputeResolutionProcess. And are a #Governance matter.

And yet repeatedly I send the webform back to organisations with obligations around #Safety, such as #AgedCareFacilities and #LocalGovernment, and they don't send a copy of what they have received back to me.

How long have webforms been misused like this?
The internet seems to have muddled minds.
