Multiple Form Pages

J

Joseph Lee

Dear All,

I have done a form that takes the users' detail and submits it as an email
to me. However this is only a single page

I am trying to have multiple pages like the flow below

Page 1 - user types in their detail
Page 2 - user types in their hobby, interest
Page 3 - user types in their occupation
Page 4 - a submit page where all the values from the 1-3 pages are pack
together and sent to me via email

Can this be done in FrontPage? How do i pass the values from one page to
another until the last one.

If possible, it would be great to even go backwards if there is a need of
correction to be made by the user before hitting the submit button in page 3

Not w/ std FP forms
- you will need client or server side scripts to pass the variables
To a client side (JavaScript) approach see

Why use multiple pages at all? A single page with a single form seems a lot
easier.

Yup you are right, just that i am not the boss :)

You might be able to do it by pointing the form to your next page. If you
specify GET for the form method, the form data will be appended to the url
like this:

yournextpage.htm?fname=joe?lname=smith

The next page can retrieve (using javascript) these values and stick them in
hidden fields in its own form to be passed down the chain again. I do not
remember the syntax requied to do this but I think it would work.
