There's several ways to work around this. JQuery has an option to make muti-page forms or you could use a custom redirect url to the next page after the first has been submitted. Another option is to use the built in conditionals. This could be within the same page or use it to fire the next page in a popup with the html element. Why abandon such a great form especially since it's responsive.;)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

If you must *another program* may do what you want. It will not do it for you there is a steep learning curve. Personally I believe it better to use WFB , JQuery or php. Eric I believe is an expert in JQuery. I took the other path where I am the Ex Spurt.
Any forms job is to gather data it is what needs to be done with it that determines the outcome.

But I am with you multiple forms would be a real buzz, Cannot wait for the developers to deliver. I know enough to realize what a task that will be for them.

I am all for workarounds, but that's not why I bought the program. I know little about JQuery and don't really have time to learn more. The main reason I got into CC software in the first place was the simplicity and not needing to know all those workarounds. It would be nice if someone would share the multi-page one :) though ...

Multi-page forms sounded just great to me

I had one a while back when some other user asked about it. I'll see if I can find it. It was pretty easy to add the JQuery.:)

I must have deleted the form but the JQuery plugin I used was this one.

I think I would create the form myself crafted to what I want.. Although I believe Limesurvey may offer multi page forms. The WFB will do it as you know but requires a script between each form/page with a display of data submitted. It is hard to re populate a WFB form. Hopefully will be added eventually. Actually it can be done with a Autohotkey script. but it is a bit of a hassle. I use AHK to control programs and paste into boxes but not for everyone. Easy enough but takes some learning how. For anyone who has not come across it. It was developed for the gaming crowd to give an advantage by better control of the game. It is a full programming language as good as VB.

I have a ton of simple scripts to do what I want with the programs I use. Worth a look, Join the forum lots of helpful advice like you get here.

Thanks Eric, cool script. This is exactly what I was looking for WFB to be able to accomplish . . . the wizard approach (IMO) rocks!

Thanks again!

I purchased WFB thinking the Multi-Page form would be 'Coming Soon' as it says on the Feature Road Map. We have waited well over a year for this update but have come to the place where our business needs this feature right now. Is there any word on when it will be available? If it is not in the next two months I will unfortunately have to look else where.


Any update on this... As it would be very handy at this point and time!

Indeed Bob it would be nice to have that option available. Eric Rohloff mentioned this plugin in an earlier post;

Although I would rather have my CC Web Form Builder do what this plugin can accomplish.

I have a client who has really long forms... like 30-50 pages. I am currently using InDesign files that I make fillable in Acrobat. She now wants the forms to be online, the first one is 30 pages in word.

Is this beyond Web Form Builder? Or can WFB handle this?

I have only used WFB for 1 page forms

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
