I'm going to give Eric's suggestion a try ... customer still insists it has to be done. *sigh*

Here's another thought.:) Extra coding like JoAnn stated but not that much since you already did the popups.
Make 4 forms.
Form 1 is the main form.
Form 2-4 are the document forms.
On form one use and html element to make the popup to show form two.
On form two replicate this and use a popup to show form 3.
on form three replicate this and use a popup to show form 4
form 2-4 would have the document embedded in it with a check box at the end.
Make everything required.
It works in my head.:lol:

I like the idea, the only issue is I can't MAKE then click on an html element. Or, am I missing something? I don't mind coding, btw; I just don't see any way to capture the event where they click on a link.

If your willing to alter the form then the sky's the limit. Place a javascript for a onclick="event()" to fire your popup from a checkbox.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Is there an ICON for dancing?

WORKED! Thank you VERY much!

I had come up with an idea to use the html element to insert 3 iframes with the documents loaded inside of them with the "I have read" check boxes under each one, so that way no one could say they DIDN'T SEE the documents, which is the purpose of the whole idea of making them click on the link in the first place, but, it was somewhat of an inelegant solution.

Thank you!

I agree. Now I have to generate a random number, and pull the time the application was entered and add 48 hours to it and I'm home free. So, diving into the php. Wish me luck.

I did the random number thing awhile back with another user. It wasn't with the form builder. You must be customizing your own form submission.php?

Well, I wasn't planning on it. But, I also need to generate a unique number to send to the person who fills out the form. This is a form to apply for a bank account. They get an ID they can then use later to confirm they are, in fact, the person who fills out the form. So, they get the ID in an email form, then they get a link and when they go to that link there's a form where they enter their name again, ID number, etc. It also has to be within 48 hours of filling out the form.

I know I have the full time when a person fills out the form. So, I am somewhat planning on using some of that to generate the "ID" and then notifying them in the email of the date before which their reply has to be received.

At this point I don't see any way around editing the php a little bit to get those last pieces of the puzzle into this whole process.

I can easily create the next part of the process by making a form to receive the name and ID, and passing it along to my customer who can then pair up the application ID with the one that is entered downstream.

If my thinking is convoluted, I don't mind being told that and having another method of accomplishing this task.

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