Multiple page forms? 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
I have a client who would like their employment application form made into an application online (an online version to compliment their PDf)...

This form can be filled out and emailed to the HR staff.

Currently the PDF is 3 pages long.

The form would have to be on a secure link.

My question is CAN a form be multiple pages as to not over whelm the user with a huge scrolling form?

Is this difficult to pull off? Should I hire a PHP programmer to look over my shoulder? (I'm a graphic designer comfortable with Dreamweaver and almost comfortable with Joomla)

Thanks!

Hi,

Cut your form into 3 pieces, put the 3 pieces each one in a DIV, using JS, hide/show the 3 divs through 3 button clicks, thats it, there are some recent posts about this here!

cheers

Just to clarify - there is not a way to save a partially filled out form?

This form is long - hence the break - I was wondering if it could be saved and returned to by the user but see in another post that it can't?

Hi cb1,

You can save a form and have the user come back to it but that has to be done on the server side by some kind of submit and re-show. (Or I guess by using AJAX - but that's beyond my knowledge).

Hi cb1,

its possible as Bob mentioned, you will need to use some php and edit the auto generated code of the forms, alter the tables, it needs some work, no out of the box solution, the other way is AJAX as Bob said, but this will need some JS and PHP code manged well on the form too.

Cheers

ChronoForms License

equalheightTo be able to continue working at this component we decided to get a small profit out of it but at the same time don't force everybody to pay in order to use this great component.

 

 From version 1.5 and up a link at the bottom of everyform created will be placed, saying "joomla professional work", the link will be to us here htttp://www.chronoengine.com, its illegal to remove this link from the source code unless you have a license,

so the license is very simply for the same ChronoForms component without a link, thats all!

This License is for 5 different websites ONLY. 

 

 However, in order to allow everybody to still use the component and even get out of this, the link is inside a div with class : chronoform , use this to hide the link by using different colors or whatever if you really can't pay, but of course the link is still exists at your page source.

 

The license is ONLY 25$ can be bought here :

 

Thank you!
