One good thing about this one, don't remember what other's might do it, but it allows you to click a link such as "Next", and you can make a tab then "clickable", which is great for a form.</p> <p><a href="http://www.stilbuero.de/jquery/tabs_3/" rel="nofollow">http://www.stilbuero.de/jquery/tabs_3/</a> </p> http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/exciting-possible-method-to-create-multi-pages#post-2499 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 09:07:45 +0000 leeuniverse 2499@http://www.appnitro.com/forums/ <p>Me, I'll likely be implimenting tabs into my website.... but more than likely without help from someone else, I likely won't be making a Tabbed FORM. Forms are already almost greek to me let alone a tabbed version.

That's why I'm thinking it might actually work.<br /> I see no reason that either at the point we are creating the form within make form there are actual "sections" which represent the pages, that we stick the field into, or we designate break points where we want one page to end and the other begin, and when machform creates the form itself it simply puts the form field into their respective pages or whatever, depending on how machform works.</p> <p>Anyway, this looks like what we are looking for. :) </p> http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/exciting-possible-method-to-create-multi-pages#post-2465 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 01:49:35 +0000 jmarchalonis 2465@http://www.appnitro.com/forums/ <p>this is actually extremely easy using the method you mentioned. all you have to do is code the form into pieces and put them in the respective div... </p> <p>example: You would call tab1 and tab2 in the javascript/ajax... </p> <p>&lt;div id="tab1"&gt;<br /> // Lines of code for form<br /> &lt;/div&gt;</p> <p>&lt;div id="tab2"&gt;<br /> // Lines of code for form<br /> &lt;/div&gt; </p> http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/exciting-possible-method-to-create-multi-pages#post-2453 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 12:37:08 +0000 leeuniverse 2453@http://www.appnitro.com/forums/ <p>HOLY CRAP!!!</p> <p>This I think is exactly a key to what your looking for: <a href="http://www.barelyfitz.com/projects/tabber/" rel="nofollow">http://www.barelyfitz.com/projects/tabber/</a></p> <p>Read through each section and it looks like it directly tells you how you could add plug and play style the tabbed functioning to a MachForm page for example.</p> <p>p.s. When you download the ZIP the (example-print.css) file is not included in it, so be sure to download that one also. </p> http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/exciting-possible-method-to-create-multi-pages#post-2452 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 12:14:54 +0000 leeuniverse 2452@http://www.appnitro.com/forums/ <p>Look on the middle of this page and they have exactly that...! Though, very simple, they only show 1 field on each page with a "post" on the last, but seems to be an example of such anyway.</p> <p><a href="http://blog.cutterscrossing.com/index.cfm/2007/6/15/Updated-JQuery-Nested-Tab-Set-with-Demo" rel="nofollow">http://blog.cutterscrossing.com/index.cfm/2007/6/15/Updated-JQuery-Nested-Tab-Set-with-Demo</a></p> <p>Also, if you go to this page, there are a bunch of other "different kinds" of Tabbed content scripts. Some work better than others, and some work different then others. I recommend you dive into reading them so you can see what your possibility's might be.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ajaxrain.com/tag.php?tag=tabs" rel="nofollow">http://www.ajaxrain.com/tag.php?tag=tabs</a></p> <p>I do believe that given these things you could indeed do it.... :)</p> <p>Also, I do believe that given the way some of the scripts work, the way MachForm works in building forms could essentially remain the same I think. You would simply have to place the script functions at the appropriate spots in the form.</p> <p>Some of the scripts work by each tab showing a different html page, and others work by all the content being on one page, and the script stuff is simply placed where necessary, and it does some sort of "persistent" thing to go to the next section/tab. This later method might be the one you may want to look into the most, so you don't have to change MachForm as much.</p> <p>This script.... I think does sort of what I'm talking about.<br /> <a href="http://phrogz.net/JS/Tabtastic/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://phrogz.net/JS/Tabtastic/index.html</a><br /> If you disable the Javascript for the page, you can see that it all breaks down into one page.</p> <p>This one is kind of old however, with a couple of fixes that need to be done on it I think. There are others though that work much better and more advanced. </p> http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/exciting-possible-method-to-create-multi-pages#post-2447 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:32:11 +0000 yuniar 2447@http://www.appnitro.com/forums/ <p>Hmm.. interesting.</p> <p>Although, I must say it would require pretty much of a hack, still.<br /> If anybody able to build multipage form based on those scripts, I'd be very interested to see it. </p> http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/exciting-possible-method-to-create-multi-pages#post-2438 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 19:15:18 +0000 leeuniverse 2438@http://www.appnitro.com/forums/ <p>Oh, and I forgot this one....</p> <p><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/ajaxtabscontent/index.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/ajaxtabscontent/index.htm</a> </p> http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/exciting-possible-method-to-create-multi-pages#post-2437 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 19:12:03 +0000 leeuniverse 2437@http://www.appnitro.com/forums/ <p>Hey all, I know this has been one of the most requested features, so guess what.<br /> I believe I may have found a couple of solutions that work similar which might be able to be adapted for MachForm use.</p> <p>Basically, it's the creation of a "Virtual" tabbed form.<br /> The form is technically still one page (or pages could be done depending upon the method utilized), that simply calls the sections.</p> <p>Anyway, there are a couple that can be looked at.<br /> This one looks very good....</p> <p><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/virtualpagination.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/virtualpagination.htm</a></p> <p>or<br /> <a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/featuredcontentslider.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/featuredcontentslider.htm</a></p> <p>or<br /> <a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/featuredcontentglider.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/featuredcontentglider.htm</a></p> <p>or this one...<br /> <a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/tabcontent.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/tabcontent.htm</a></p> <p>I'm not a code guy.... But, I know enough to see that these scripts are reletively simple and could likely indeed be incorporated into the system. For example, when creating the forms, the fields are already in their own &lt;divs&gt; or whatever, or can be placed into one when the form is created. So as we go along inserting fields, we insert the code option in the position which tells the script to go to a new tab, then we put more fields, wash and repeat, create the form and walla....</p> <p>Anyway, I know I'm being simple, for things often aren't, but with these few examples or or a combination of them (parts etc.) I'm almost sure could be used to create multi-page capability, virtually anyway. But, same thing to us, but even better, because it's faster, and data shouldn't be lost, etc.</p> <p>Wooo hooo, let's do it! :) </p>
