formAction:'https://beds24.com/booking.php',
Previous versions of the widgets are not supported any longer. If you want to use old versions you can access the menu pages via these links widgetLang:*[https://beds24.com/control2.php?pagetype=widgetcalendar Availability Calendar]*[https://beds24.com/control2.php?pagetype=widgetstrip Booking Strip]*[https://beds24.com/control2.php?pagetype=widgetbox Booking Box]'en',
