Hello Hassan!

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to create...''a multipage form''? What do you mean? Please describe.

If you login and you go into the store then you close the page without restoring your browser cash you do not log out and you are able to enter the page again without having to enter your details. Therefore it depends on the browser cash.

I think you didn't understand both of my questions.

1- what I mean by multipage form?

It means by that is to creat a data collection form. Where in the user enters his/her personal data e.g. name , address, contact details, then presses next, a new page arrives, where he enters his business informaton , then presses next, a new form page appears, where he enters requirements etc. then press submit and the whole information entered by him comes to me via email. 

Why I need to do this?

First, I dont want to create a long page of form where user has to scroll down a lot, then in other option if I creat 3-4 different forms and put the page address after pressing the submit button to the next form, I will get 3-4 different email and it would be hassle to handle the data for a single person in 3-4 email if I am getting 50-70 emails a day.

I hope that I have made it clear.

2- Registrations login form:

I am not talking about crashing of browser. I mean to say that if someone signup to our website to access any members area, would it be possible that whenever he makes any purchase, his personal informaton populates automatically while checking out, just to avoide extra time to put all the information again by the members.

Hello Hassan,

Thank you for your explanation!

1)It isn't possible to create various forms to then collect all the info at the end I'm sorry. What you can do is add various forms one next to the other if you wish in order to add as many as you like and avoid text scrolling. Please see the attached image.

2) It depends on the clients browser cash. That is the ''memory'', if they do not refresh it then your website will remember the details or else it won't. For example, if you press ''F5'' on your keyboard while visiting a website it will refresh the page.

Thank you for the reply. But I am not able to see any image attached.

Secondly, I can understand from where you are coming, but I didn't mean about storing in the memory of customer's computer. I mean to say, if some one register their details with us to access the member's area, those details will be saved somewhere in the air. Using that details, he can log into his account. I am interested to see if they can log in using their member's registration details and buy some products, at the checkout, they do not need to put any personal details again, like name, address contact no. etc.

So, please let me know how it will be possible.

And along with, how to clreat a REGISTER NOW button for new members.

Hello Hassan.

• You will find the example attached to this post.

• In the e-commerce section, we save a cookie with your customers details therefore, if he comes back on your website to purchase something he will find the form with his details already in it.

• To create a ''register now button'' you simply add text to the header/or text object in the page grid then add a link to it in order to connect it to the form.

Please open a seperate post for each question.

Thank you.

I have seen your attachment and yes it is very interesting way that you have told me, to put several forms next to other. But the only issue I am facing is that under each form it shows send button seperately, But I want my customers to see and press only one button to send all the forms data to a single email. 

Please explain how can that be possible. In your photo I can not see many buttons, but see the attached photo which I tried, but it is show number of buttons that will confuse the customer.

In order to avoid all the buttons, simply add the field type you need from the ''field type list'' and enter the text label (I added ''this is a text field'' for example) then enable ''display on the same row as the previous filed''  and confirm. After add a new field, add the text, select again the same field and so on.

Problem solved 

Just one more thing regarding formating: is there any way that I can seperate the form fields with a line, for example, if the first part of the form relates to personal information and second half relates to a specific subject, how can I seperate them to highligh or put a heading before that part of the form?

Umm - I can do that . . . but that's not a simple website application.

There are two things here: multi-page forms, and data persistence over sessions.  To do the first, you need to persist the data over the entry session, and to do the second you need to persist the data over the days or weeks between visits to your site.

Even worse, the entry session itself might be split over multiple sessions, if the form is big enough.  For example, some US govt forms take a couple of weeks to fill out.  Then, the data has to be revisited months later.

These are hard things to do, technically.  I suggest you revisit your business requirements to see if there's an easier way of meeting them.

BTW, the way I do the hard techie stuff is to use Microsoft Infopath withSharePoint Web Services and  SQL Server.  Cost is usually several hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Sorry.  (Drop me an email if you want to know more details).
