frustrating: back button not showing in multipage form

Hi Bob/Max,

I created a code for the back and submit button in multi page and somehow it doesn't show. Here is my code in the first page with the form:

<!--_CHRONOFORMS_PAGE_BREAK_--><div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_submit" id="submit2_container_div">
<input name="submit2" id="submit2" class="" value="Submit" type="submit" />
 <a href="index.php?option=com_chronoforms&chronoform={chronoform}&cf_sid={cf_sid}"><input type='button' name='back' value='Back' /></a><div id="error-message-submit2"></div></div>

but the buttons doesn't show either in the next page. Any idea? I have joomla 1.7.3. This is making me frustrated. I have another form that uses this back and submit button and it works fine. I get the same code from the working one to the new form and it doesn't work. Why? Please help. Thanks.

Hi Bob/Max,

Never mind. I solved it myself after three hours of trying.🙂. Thanks.

Ok, this is really frustrating because the back button is not working again. What I mean by not working is, it doesn't get the cf_id when I click the back button. Yes, the back button shows but it doesn't get the cf_id. Why? I have back button in 3 forms and one form have 3 pages or more. Please help. This somehow works and then not. The error below:

If you notice the URL in the screen shot it is not grabbing the cf_id but instead showing the cf_id text. My code for "back" button

<!--_CHRONOFORMS_PAGE_BREAK_--><div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_submit" id="submit2_container_div">
<input name="submit2" id="submit2" class="" value="Submit" type="submit" />
 <a href="index.php?option=com_chronoforms&chronoform={chronoform}&cf_sid={cf_sid}"><input type='button' name='back' value='Back' /></a><div id="error-message-submit2"></div></div>

. Thanks.

Hi jmarian1,

Do you have the Curly Replacer turned on in the Show HTML action?

Otherwise you could (a) use a <?php echp . . . ?> to add the value to the URL; or (b) add the value to the User session and re-read on the next page.

Bob
