I want a form to be confirmed (on a new page) before it is saved to the database.

I want a form to be confirmed (on a new page) before it is saved to the database.

I want a form to be confirmed (on a new page) before it is saved to the database.
1. The user fills out the form.
2. The user is sent to a new page where the content from the form is displayed.
3. If the user confirms - the contents are saved in the database.

How do I? I can't find any tutorial on this. I think I've seen one before. Has it been removed?

There is an old post in the forum that reminds me of my question (http://www.webassist.com/forums/posts.php?id=7584). But that doesn't give enough answers.

Have your first page submit to the confirm page by setting the Form action to the confirm page. That first page doesn't need any server behaviors.

On the second page use the bindings panel to add the form from the first page so you can easily display the submitted values.

Then add hidden form elements and set their values from the form bindings as well so that they will be re-submitted on the confirm page and can be inserted easily from there.

Just make sure the form button names are different on each page so you can identify which page is being submitted in your insert server behavior and use the button press trigger for the second form when doing the insert.

I'm confused. I have a form that is three pages long.

On the first two pages are different fields to be filled.

On the last page, the contents of the two previous pages should be displayed. And the user should click in a confirm radius and press the send button. Then all fields should be inserted to the database.

When I test it seems to work, and a thank you page appears. But nothing is saved to the table. There is no error-message. What have I missed?

All data is displayed on the last page when I echo each field. But I'm not sure what value I should choose to attach to Insert Record. Since I now have two forms to choose from (page 2 and page 3). In addition, each field has a copy, as they echo. For each form field to be linked, there is three to choose from in the bindings tab.

The bind column for the insert should be able to use the same value as the echo on the page as long as you have them all in hidden form elements.

Just create a hidden form element for each value that you are displaying with the correct value. Then when you bind the insert you can bind to the hidden form elements you have created.
