Why are one or more of my form objects missing in the list in the dialog?

When you insert a form object in your page using one of the 'Insert | Form Objects | ...' menu options, then DW inserts the object without specifying the ID attribute for it.
When you rename the form object using the Properties panel, then the ID attribute is added. But if you leave the name of the form object unchanged, then there will be no element ID defined for the form object.

However, the extension dialog can only find form objects on the page if they have a proper, unique element ID assigned to them.
So if a specific form element on your page does not show up in the list in the extension dialog, then make sure it has an element ID assigned to it.
