Have an undefined number entries (Show/Hide)

Hello.

I would like to know if it is possible to have an undefined number of entries. For example, I want to have a form for entering purchase order data. I will have drop down menus for selecting asset type, text boxes for entering order #s, quantity, etc. The thing is, there could be one item or 15. How can I show the first item (and it's relative fields) and then have the ability to have a radio button (or something) that says "New Item" and the fields will be displayed again below.

It could be a show / hide thing but I don't know.

Thanks for your help.

Hi TMacDMB,

Yes it's possible, you can add fields 'on the fly' with JavaScript, or disclose hidden fields (but then the number is fixed in advance).

You need to use and track a serial number to know how to identify the 'next' field. And you probably want to collect the results in an array to make processing simpler on submission.

Hi All,

I tried the sample script, but when implemented into Chronoforms it becomes unusable. Any ideas?

I need a step by step tutorial, how this stuff work with ChronoForms
May post this on paid service?

Hi clovismmbr,

I'll try and write something as soon as I have time to a better than half-decent job of it.

Hi GreyHead (me again) LOL
I need this code to build, a subscriptions on an Seminar event
In this case i will use two forms

One form, is for individual subscriptions (piece a cake)
But the other form is for group subscriptions where will have the Organization(company) as a main subscriptions and the people that belongs this main subscriptions.
Example:
First Mainform will have data from company
and the others will be the members of this subscriptions.

thats means, one subscription can handle unumered dependent members

WEBRY COMPANY DATA

If you have time please help me, you can put a price for this help.

Thank you Very much

Hi,

I've published a tutorial on creating Conditional ChronoForms using Usable Forms and Validation scripts from QuirksMode.org.
