HTML forms are the bane of web developers’ lives. They are rarely exciting, easy to get wrong and subject to numerous revisions from clients and bosses. Would you consider letting them directly edit the code when even the most basic forms require knowledge of:
HTML表单是Web开发人员生活的祸根。 它们很少令人兴奋，容易出错，并且会受到客户和老板的多次修订。 即使最基本的形式也需要以下知识时，您是否考虑让他们直接编辑代码：
HTML5 input types.

I reviewed JotForm 3.0 in January 2015. The online application enables non-developers to build and edit sophisticated data capture forms using a WYSIWYG interface. You add fields, choose a theme, modify the color scheme, define integration options, publish, wait for responses and view reports.
我在2015年1月评论了JotForm 3.0 。 在线应用程序使非开发人员可以使用WYSIWYG界面来构建和编辑复杂的数据捕获表单。 您可以添加字段，选择主题，修改配色方案，定义集成选项，发布，等待响应并查看报告。
JotForm 3.0 was a great solution, but the latest release has gone even further to provide non-technical users with intuitive tools to build forms of any complexity.
JotForm 3.0是一个很棒的解决方案，但是最新版本甚至进一步为非技术用户提供了直观的工具来构建任何复杂的表单。
JotForm 4.0 has just been released and I’m pleased to report it addresses the complexity problem. The interface has been overhauled and is more attractive and intuitive than before. Options are easy to access but hidden until you require them.

新的JotForm 4.0界面具有完全响应能力，可以在台式机，平板电脑或智能手机设备上使用。 您的所有编辑都会立即保存，并且即使您的网络连接不完整，它也可以正常使用，因为该应用程序可以离线运行。 联机返回时，表单数据将同步。
JotForm also allows you to access a list of revisions and revert back to a previous edit with a single click.

Finally, multiple team members can work on the same form simultaneously. Your changes are automatically applied to everyone else’s view.
最后，多个团队成员可以同时处理同一表单。 您所做的更改将自动应用于其他人的视图。
JotForm 4.0 is a radical overhaul of the form design system which was originally launched in 2006. I’m a die-hard coder and rarely like WYSIWYG editors but JotForm is a pleasure to use and saves considerable time. It’s especially quick when you don’t need to wade though third-party API documentation when integrating other systems.
JotForm 4.0是最初于2006年推出的表单设计系统的一项重大改进。我是一个顽固的编码人员，很少像所见即所得的编辑器那样工作，但是JotForm令您乐在使用，并节省了大量时间。 当您在集成其他系统时无需翻阅第三方API文档时，这特别快。
