Does anyone have an example to share of a multipage form chain or wizard that allows use of embeded back and next buttons or hyperlinks, and allows the user to freely move between pages without clobbering previous input? Is formulator a good choice for doing this? The docs do not seem to talk about such a scheme. I've searched the howtos and lists and none of the examples found seem to live up to this standard. Thanks, and I'll post what I get to the list, and do a how-to if it's really nifty. Thanks!

Don't know about hyperlinks working (wouldn't you have to encode all the variables into the URL for that to work?), but buttons should work fine. I've referred people to http://www.zope.org/Members/jspisak/wizard_keys before, anything wrong with that method? -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- renfro@tntech.edu

You can use JavaScript, attached to the HREF's onclick attribute to submit the form. That way you don't have to do any manual URL encoding. i.e. <form name="myform"> <a href="" onclick="javascript: document.myform.submit(); return false;" >forward</a> </form> Obviously, that will not work if the user has JavaScript turned off.
