Multiple Forms on Site - More...

I have multiple WFB forms on my site. Each one is created, given a separate name, and uploaded. This seems highly inefficient and takes up a good chunk of space for each form because of all the support files.

Is there a way to have multiple forms point to a shared set of common files? I understand that there would be files that would need to be altered for each form, but there must be some commonality between each form that does not have to be repeated each time.

Of course, I also get that we are trading some "bloat" for ease of use.

Thanks.

Hi James,
There's a few that you could do this with. Go ahead an start altering the href's of the style sheets and all those scripts and give it a test. Worst that could happen is it doesn't work.;)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

There is a way, put the form in a slide-able container at the main page and insert all other pages in an inline frame so that viewer can browse your products and make selection.

I came looking for a solution but ended up suggesting one :)

Hi Philip,
Actually James was looking for a way to reduce the amount of files. There's several files that all your form will have in common that never change. Having the same files when you have more then one form on a page only increases load time for users. What you can do is alter the appropriate links for the forms to point to only one. This should help reduce load times. Having more then one form on a page as I think you are referring to is easy using the code provided by the form builder for each form. Your suggestion takes this one step further and places these inside a scrolling div thus reducing the amount of room needed for either several forms or a longer form. Multi-page forms have been requested but I think with the conditionals most users are able to reduce the length of their forms in way that works for them and their users.:)
