HEADER

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!

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,

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
