I have this large form located at http://www.sophisticatedsounds.com/_...only/form.html and i was wondering if there is a way that i can have it over mulitple pages. Like have them answer like 10 question then hit the next button and answer another 10 pages. And then on the last page it sends me the results. Thank you for any help that i can get. Thanks.
I take it you're on a NT server. You'll probably want to use VBScript for this.
You'll need to make use of POST form variables. So therefore on the first page there would be a <input type="hidden" name="stage" value="1" /> and on the second the value would be two. Your script would read this, then (say on the transitition from pg1 to pg2) make a bunch of hidden for fields with the old data you just entered.
It would be very complex and my suggestion is just to keep it on one page.
No i am on a unix server. Is there a way to do that. Or any cgi scripts out there that can do this. Thank you.
Ah yes FrontPage extensions my bad. The technique would still work though.
Of course on the last page everything would be processed and added to the database, e-mailed to you, stored in a file, or whatever else you want to do with it.
If you're prepared to learn a new language, what you want can be done easily using PHP. Check out my tutorial series, "Building a Database-Driven Web Site using PHP and MySQL" on WebmasterBase.com for a good introduction to PHP.
