Forums

I've searched the forums for a solution without success so I apologize if this has already been answered.

I'm creating a simple Joomla Registration form. Prior to submission the user must read and accept a rather lengthy (5 page) "terms of use" for the site.

I'd like the "terms of use" text area to have scrollbars so as not to create a five-page form.

Can I do this using Wizard Edit? And am I correct that I should put the "terms of use" in a textarea vs textbox?

If it is necessary for me to edit the HTML of the form, will browsers automatically include scrollbars, or is that a tag I must insert into the code?

And lastly (I've seen this on other sites) is it possible to include some code which requires the user to actually scroll down the entire terms of use before the "I agree" checkbox can be used?

Thanks much!

Hi wdemilly,

You can make it scroll either by putting it in a textarea and adding the readonly='readonly' attribute; or possibly by using a modal window to show it in an overlay.

I'm not sure about how to put the 'agree' button at the end (or that it makes any real difference). I guess Googling will give you some suggestions.
