# Dropdown Issue?

 * I have created a couple forms so far and everything works. But when I try to 
   add a dropdown to one of my forms, it just sits and spins when trying to save
   the form. If I cancel out after a few minutes (close the browser after 5 minutes),
   then go back in, none of my changes saved. I can add other fields (so far) without
   issues… it just seems to be the dropdowns. I’ve even tried adding a dropdown 
   without adding any of my options, etc.
 * I have the latest plugin version and 3.8.1 wordpress. No error messages popup,
   it just sits with the “wait” spinner.

 * Send me a demo account of your website, this way I can fix the problem fast. 
   Most probably you have 404 error in WordPress admin-ajax.php request. I noticed
   this happen sometimes when using PHP version 5.4+ where html input are not properly
   encoded. Below is my email address if you need further more assistance.

 * Unfortunately I am not allowed to give any access to our site. If you can suggest
   some things for me to look at, that may help.
 * Also, another thing I noticed was that I tied to create a custom thank you message
   and noticed a couple things. The styling of the text is very difficult. The styles
   I created seem to not apply, I was only able to get the text to use the correct
   font by updating your guiform.css file. Another thing I noticed was that on a
   form that has many fields, the custom thank you window “breaks”. Any of my forms
   with smaller amount of fields, I am able to update the custom thank you text 
   without issues.
 * Final note (just a tiny cosmetic change) is that the word “default” throughout
   the plugin is spelled incorrectly. I’m seeing it spelled “defualt”
 * Thanks for the great plugin. It definitely makes things easier.

 * Thanks for the quick update. I just updated and began testing. Even though you
   didn’t mention the dropdown, I went ahead and tested anyway. Unfortunately it
   still “hangs” on the spinner when trying to save.
 * I also noticed that I can no longer see the details of the entries people have
   made using the forms. At first I thought the data was lost, but I am still able
   to export to the csv (and receive the emails)… so the data is still there. Just
   unable to view the details/information via wp-admin.
 * Also, I was now able to update my custom thank you message on the form that had
   many fields. I will continue to test and let you know what else I see/find.
 * Thanks again

 * Please check version 1.4.10 and test the dropdown field if it still “hangs” on
   the spinner when you save. I also fix the view entry details. Thanks for supporting
   GuiForm plugin.
