cannot drag container onto page

I started a form and realized after developing two large containers with fields that I really needed to make it multi-page. I have the multi-page format all set-up and added a new page container at the top of the form.

I am unable to drag the 2 developed containers into the new page?

If I start a second page container, I can drag new containers into it and add fields.

Is it not possible to drag a finished container into a page?

Totally gave up trying to drag - made new containers and copied fields into them. Tedious, but it is now working.
Clarification question - when a user has submitted a page of a multi-page form, there is no way to go back to expand or change a field. Can someone verify that is the case?

Hi Sharon,

I'm afraid that you can't relocate containers by dragging. You can relocate some elements by using the Copy and Paste buttons in the Designer tab.

Yes you can go back, you'd need to add a back button linked to the previous page.

But I do not have the option for back button, only choices in the dropdown are submit, reset and button?

Hi Sharon.

Add a link and format it as a button; or take the Button option and set that to point to the previous page; or add a Custom Element with your own Button HTML. I think that any of these will work.

I would like to use the button and point it to the previous page. But I do not see how to do that when clicking the edit for the button. I am sorry to be so inexperienced in this.

I have searched through all the FAQs and Forum posts around buttons.

Hi Sharon,

If you just want a classic Back button then you can put this in the Extra Params box of a button element.

onclick=history.back();

if you want to go back to a specific page you can't use this method because CF won't allow a second = sign in the Extra Params line. Instead you can add JavaScript in a Load JavaScript action like this

jQuery(document).ready(function(jQ){
  jQ('#button2').click(function(){
   window.location.href='/index.php';
  });
});

replace button2 with the ID of your button and /index.php with the URL you want to go to.

You are wonderful. I am so impressed with the extent of assistance you have given me as I learn the ins and outs of chronoforms. I cannot thank you enough.

onclick=history.back();

Takes me back to the previous page, but if I go two pages back I will loose the information from one of the submited pages..

onclick=history.back();

does not work, but for all that have the same problem as I did, just use links to the previous page, it works, you don't need to keep the post data.

If you loose information, use the session functionality😉
