Passing Form Data

[RamDje]

Hello,

I have a question that probably has an easy answer. I am creating a series of forms for an online quote system for a client. There is a lot of information that has to be gathered however the site layout (740px wide by 420px high), prevents me from using one page to capture all the data. I want to split the forms up into three or four parts and have a user click "next" to go the next part of the form, etc. At the last part the use would click submit and all the info gathered along the way would be emailed to the client as well as the potential customer (CDONTS). I considered using a scroll box so the scrolling would be limited to the form area and not affect the layout, however, I believe the "sectional" form would work better.

Any assistance would be very helpful.....thanks in advance.

use an iframe and call the form page in it. it will allow a Page within a Page look...

u could use hidden form elements and keep requesting them....or
-store/INSERT a part of the form into a table (if too large) on the page 1
-and then use UPDATE on page 2 etc

this way you could store what customer selects/enters into a form for later reference....after all, if the CDONTS or your mail server fails most customers will hate to be forced to re-enter the forom....
