Tabbed Forms

phibon 05 Mar, 2009
Hi,
I am fairly new to joomla. I have created an insurance web site and I need to to do tabbed pages for the insurance quotes.
I checked on your site for doing tabs with chronoforms but I still do not understand it. Can you give me some code and explain to me, how to do tabs simply? I would be most grateful.

Hi Bon,

Did you search the forums for "tabs" ?

Hi,
I checked everything in the forum to do tabs. I know html and how to do web pages in dreamweaver and joomla.
I am just not a programmer and I do not know php very well. I have been trying different codes in the form code but they just don't work for me. I am building an insurance company and need tabs like name and address at end of tab they can press next to go to next tab which would be vehicles, press next, then next tab would be final details and submit. If you could provide an example it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Hi Bon,

There are several examples of both multi-page forms (where the data is submitted after each page) and tabbed forms (part of the form is hidden but submission is at the end) in the forums here.

Both are possible, both have plusses and minuses.

Hi,
What is the code for tabbed forms with continue to next page links at the bottom of each page before the submit page? I'm not much of a coder.
I would appreciate any help, tutorial etc. Thank you.

Help! I have never been so frustrated in my life doing forms in joomla. Dreamweaver is much easier. I am using tabs
and the fields for my drop downs does a wrap around on these numbers- how to fix?????$100,000/$300,000/$50,000.
Also my first tab page is out of sink-how do i fix? Rows do not align on the form page? Help? 3 weeks of frustration, just to do a simple insurance tab site!

Hi,
I got my rows to line up in my tabbed form, but when I tried the radio or check buttons they do not work. I am using the drop down
boxes instead. Everything is fine but i need to make one of the drop down boxes wider for wider amounts like $100,000/$300,000/$50,000.
How do I make the drop down box wider? Please assist.🤨
Thank you.
