netwebform wizard button position.

[robirenz]

Hi all,

Im using the wizard style with two screens for a netwebform and want the next and previous buttons, at the top of the form intead of the bottom.  How do I do this.

Best Regards...

Hi Roberto,

There's currently a setting on the "advanced" tab where you can set the "height" of the form.
I was supposed to be an automatic placement, but that only works in some browsers, and not in the other one,
so setting the height explicitly is the way to go for now.

Cheers

Bruce,

not quite what I need..
I have a nextwebform form with several pages, and each on is of different size,
I have a footer which is forced just beneath the next, previous, and save buttons.  and so it overprints my form.

What I would like to do is just place the next, previous and save buttons at the top of the form instead of the bottom.
Can I add other buttons that would emulate the same buttons at the bottom, is this possible.

Best Regards...

Hi Roberto,

Sorry, but at the moment the buttons only support going underneath. However your footer should live happily below the buttons.

If your wizard has "tabs" with vastly different heights then it's gonna look funny, but like a "windows" wizard, the buttons have a fixed position. I guess you need to set that low enough that the biggest "tab" can be accommodated.

Cheers

PMFJI -
Could you not do this using multiple forms- one for each page and include your next/previous buttons as image links to the respective page? The last one has no next button the first one no previous. The values all get loaded into either a mem-table of session vars.

yes, I've done that with other forms in the past..
except I thought it would be just really easy to use the wizard style instead.

I did manage to move the buttons to the the top
but I had to add spaces with xhtml at the top so the table is not on top of the buttons.
also in order for the footer to be at the bottom I had to add space (paragraphs) after the table form. and managed to move it down.

lots of movement, but at least all that is invisible to the user unless he looks at th source <G>

also, this is for you Bruce..

I have all my fields already set up in on e tab of the wizards.
I want to create 8 tabs and move all my fields that already had in the first tab..

I tried exporting the form to txa, thinking it would be easy to just move stuff around, but o my word everything it so cryptic..   Any other way to be able to move a field from on tab to the other?

Best Regards...

Cool.
Rather than adding spaces in html <shudder> give the table a new class and do the positioning in css

Creating the tabs and moving in TXA is probably the quickest way.Unless you have Macro Express to do a copy, delete, switch, add, paste keystroke macro thing.

ccordes,

you should export one of those forms and see for yourself..
there really is no easy way to move data in the txa, if full of references by number and not by name, making it almost impossible to know how to move the stuff for reimport..

Hi roberto,

moving fields from one tab to another is really only possible "by hand".
The TXA is not for the faint-hearted, but I can't do anything about that.

you can change the order of tabs using the up & down arrow.

Oh man, you are right! 
I retract the suggestion.

Chris,

It's almost as difficult as your quote about copy con app.app   
well maybe not quite...  hehe


Anyway, got another one for you bruce..

how do I hide field in the form when it is a checkmark
I'm touching the checkmark through a button, and have made it readonly but would sure like to hide it instead and I just can't seem to do it.

hdiv did not do the trick..

Best Regards...

Set the "hide condition" for the form field. (based on some session Value)

Add the check to the "reset fields" of the button - setting the session Value when the button is pressed.

Cheers

Thank you Bruce,
as usual it was right there staring at me in the face and the more I looked the more invisible it got.
Sometimes the hardest things to do is what's most easiest..

It worked wonders..
