Is it possible to add a button, which performs a search(e.g postcode finder) ?? My form has an element where the user can enter his/her postcode and hits the search button. Is it possible for me to add button for this scenario ? Any reference documentation would be helpful.

Hi,
yes it's possible to do it by using a custom form stencil; you'll define a html part of your widget and then you will provide also a controller for it. (javascript code which will do the "magic")

In your installation there should be a docs folder or docs.zip. In there, look for the section on 'Custom form fields'.
