I organize a co-op and need to create an order form. My members typically look through the various vendor catalogs and send me their order. We are using a google spreadsheet now, but i would like to create a form to add to my website. Is it possible to create a form with these fields:
Item # Item Description Qty Price Total Price
Text box text box text box box for price $ box that calculates Qty * Price

Ideally, a member could fill out their order, have the total at the end, hit submit and it would be emailed to me.

How do I create horizontal fields?
Thanks

Hi c_robinson,

In the ChronoForms wizard you can use the 'multi-holder' element. But frankly here I'd be inclined to use PHP to generate the form entries as rows in a table. Put the basic product data in an array, or a database table, then let the PHP run through it generating all the code for you. It makes for much easier maintenance, and a lot less html to write.

thank you grey head! how do i do that? is it part of chronoforms? sorry for asking such basic questions, but i am learning.
thanks

Hi c_robinson,

I'm sorry but I really can't write PHP tutorials here. W3Schools and others have good lessons and there are some examples in the forums here.
