The LiveSite Form Builder Toolkit is a set of OOTB components used for building forms in a wysiwyg way. The components are not meant to be used individually by themselves and inspection of their source will reveal specialized code that links the disjoint form elements together. The form builder toolkit uses a css stylesheet and a special javascript file to handle the bindings and form submission.

In the Form Builder Toolkit the component that does all the “work” is the Submit Button. This component specifies the form submit action url and when the submit button is clicked it invokes handler code in the iw-form-builder-toolbox.js. This handler clones the primary form and appends to it all the form builder toolkit form fields on the page. This form is then submitted using a traditional GET/POST.

The css file and javascript file that enable these components may not have been packaged with your installation. I have attached a zipfile to this message that contains both files. Place them in the path of your WORKAREA and configure your page properties to include them both as resources. The javascript file also relies on some constants defined in AjaxRequest.class.js so be sure to include that in your page properties resources.
