Thanks,

I'm really new at this but is there any instructions or a video how to do this step by step?

Again thanks so much for your help.

Create your form with drop down and the other elements that will be controlled by their selection. Now select an element that you want to be based on a selection from the drop down and go to the properties tab and scroll all the way to the bottom. Now select what's needed where it says "Show Element" and select "Use display Rule".
Then next to "if" choose the drop down. Next decide if it will be and is or is not then select the proper drop down value from the "Choose Value".

Thanks,

Will check it out and do what you say. Will let you know the outcome.

Easily done! What you need to do is use conditionals. You can see an example of this here...

Of course, don't send anything. But, when you click 'Yes' to send money another field opens where you can input the amount. You would use something similar to this.

Just put in a drop down with your options (modified under 'properties')
Then add your other 'fields or text boxes that you want for each option.
Then under the 'properties tab for those options, scroll down to the bottom and look for 'Show element' and change always to 'using display rule', then select the options you want and be sure and click the 'Insert' button to add the rule.

When you view your form those boxes will not show up unless the specified option from the drop down is selected.

It seems like a complicated process but it's really not. WFB makes this really easy, if sometimes time consuming, to accomplish.

I just type to slow sometimes ...

Gunsmoke I took that example down. As Eric said the conditionals can handle that stuff now

Hi Guys

It works, thank you all so much for your guidance and understanding, I found it to be quite easy and wanted to know where can I get a book on the web form for me to learn more.

Again thanks to all of you for your help.

You can find a good handful of articles in the Support section on the menu where you can view many helpful things about the program. I don't believe there are any books on the program at all though.

CoffeeCup has this book on web form design, as a complement to the Web Form Builder:

EDIT: Hmmm.... Just noticed that this guide was published five years ago... Must have been primarily oriented towards the old Flash-based form builder...

That PDF is all about HTML forms. Nothing Flash in there.
