multi page form stopped working

vistech 05 Mar, 2012
I had setup a multi page form a while ago and just found out from the client that its not working. Its on CF 3.2 with J1.5.25. It wont' pass the first page. When I turn on debug for the first form and fill it out separately there are no debug errors.

Multi page settings:

number of steps: 3
Step form names: form1,form2,form3
Finalize button name: submitfinal
Enable steps navigation: no

Hi vistech,

Sorry no obvious explanation to offer :-(

Does it submit the first page and then re-load it; or just refuse to submit it?

Submit and reload. Shows the mother form's debug info at the top again.

Hi vistech,

Nothing obvious comes to mind; is it possible that there is some kind of an error on the first step form that is causing it to be reloaded.

Can you test with a very very simple new multi-page form. Just two steps and only a submit button in the first form. If that doesn't work then maybe some server setting has changed?

Somehow I narrowed it down to the file attachments. Page 1 and 2 of the form are fields, drop downs and checkboxes. Page 3 allows 3 images to be attached. When I turn on file uploads in the mother form then page 1 keeps reloading. I created temp forms to test but then deleted them. I am going to try again with an upload box to see if I can recreate it.

Ok just made 2 child forms and one mother form. Child2 has uploads turned on, as does mother so emails can be sent. When I turn off uploads on the mother form then I can go from child1 to child2. Help!

Hi vistech,

Hmmm sounds like the uploads need to be on the child form.

They are on the child form (child2) but how do I get them to attach to the email sent by the mother?

Hi vistech,

I'm sorry I'm not being helpful here but I just don't know the answer :-( It's a long time since I built a multi-page form in CFv3 now.
