Can you create multi-page forms?

Does this version of Form Builder V2 support multi-page forms?

The current version is V1, and it doesn't create multiple page forms automatacally.

However you should be able to use the Form Builder multiple times on multiple pages, specifying the next page in the form as the action page for the previous would progress you through the pages. Then you could use Session, Cookies, or Hidden form elements to keep track of the data from page to page so that the final page of the multiple page form has all of the data from the previous pages at the end.

Hello Ray,
Thanks for being on board again. I trying to acquaint myself with the interface of CSS Form Builder. I am design a multi-page form and I am not too familiar in using sessions or cookies and but familiar with hidden form element in the HTML editor setting.
Using CSS Form Builder, Can you give me a step by step procedure on a sample multi-page form using hidden form element? Can CSS Form Builder generate the php script for the various forms or one has to write the scripts to process the multi-page forms? Appreciate your help.

You would use Form Builder to create each page of the form individually, specifying the action page as the next page in the form to be processed.

After creating all of the forms with form builder, then add a hidden form element for each field in the first page onto the second page of the form and set the values to come from the previous form. On the third page of the form add all the fields from the second page as hidden form elements as well as all of the fields from the first (really you have already added those to the second page).

By the last page of your form you have a single form with all of the values from your multiple page form and you can use it just like you would any single page form.

Hello Ray,
If I am buying sofware from Web Assist, it is because of your prompt feedback. Reading through some of your responses make me have more interest in webassist products. Again thank you.

I would like to be cleared from your quote above, after creating each page using CSS Form Builder, do I have to add hidden form element using Dreamweaver CS4 or CSS Form Builder? Considering that I have to use CSS Form builder, how do I do that and set the values of the hidden form? Can you break it down further?
Lastly, do I still need to create separate php processing scripts to process each form?
Thanks alot

You would add the hidden form elements by hand after the pages were created using DW.

You could process the entire multipage form on the last page and would not need separate scripts because by the last page the entire multipage form will be represented in hidden form elements. If you wanted to you could process them separately and insert them into a database and then you wouldn't even need to add hidden form elements. The hidden form element technique would be instead of processing each page individually.

I've read on multiple sites that you should use the hidden function to pass data from one form page to another, but no one has stated how this is actually done and how you capture the values of the variables on the first page using the hidden function?

Could anyone show me an example or point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Kevin
