Animated Form Switching with jQuery

View demoDownload sourceIn this tutorial we will create a simple animated form switch with three very common forms.

What am I missing with this form processor?

Hey all, I bought a contact form and php script, but the author will not help with troubleshooting if customization has taken place. I did not need his actual Form, just the php to process it. I think I'm just missing something small. When testing, I hit submit, and I get the error to please enter a MESSAGE, even though I have. Can anyone please take a few minutes to see what I'm doing wrong? Here is my HTML form: HTML Code: <div id="form">           <form action="contactprocess.php" method="post" id="info">           <div id="message-wrap"  class="slider">

undefined index error help

Hi I have a line in a page which recieves form info from a form page PHP Code: $additional_info1 = $_REQUEST['additional_info1'] ; the problem is, if the form which posts to this page does not have the form field 'additional_info1' then it throws up an undefined index error. How can I stop this error without having to include the 'additional_info1' form field on the form page. This is one of many form fields which react in this way which I would like to only add only on specific pages which post to this php script. I am hoping to do this without suppressing the error reporting ie: PHP Code: <?php //error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE); ?> Thanks Paul M

Multi-page form logic - how do you do yours?

Hi All, I am going to build an app which has 5 data input forms (a survey app), to make it easier to fill in I want to put the 5 forms on seperate pages. When you have designed multi-page surveys in the past, what design did you use? For example did you : 1) collect all info from form1 and put the items as hidden vars in form2, and continue this all the way to your final form? 2) insert the results of form1 into a temporary table in a DB? 3) Sessions? 4) use some other approach? Obviously I need to deal with incomplete data submissions, people abandoning the survey half way through, someone pressing the "back-button" halfway through, blanks, etc.
