Been trying to work that out..
How can I get that to work. Even with conditional formatting you are still limited. How would you get an unlimited repeat of the input line? --Mitch

With the conditionals you basically looking to make something happen if another thing has happen. It's up to you to decide what that will be. This should help.

The hardest thing with the conditionals is figuring the logic behind it and then how many layers deep it goes. You can get carried away pretty easily.:lol:

As I said, even conditionals are limited to what you build into the form. All that does is whether something is displayed.. Sure, I could just go a head and hide 40-50 input lines each with a "Add another" but kind of a waste of resources. Unless there is something with conditionals I am missing. I don't see now how this could be done within WFB. At least not with a good bit of hacking of the WFB code.

Another option, again hacking the code, would be to ask the contest director how many entries they are going to have, then dynamically create that many input lines...

Might be a feature request.

See-ya

Whether you use form builder to do this or another application you still have to write all the code because there's no application yet that knows what your thinking (My wife excluded). There's more code in the data to add the data dynamically then the actual data added. Say that five times real fast.:lol:
