Multi Page form: inability to use images with forms

    I'm a noob so please excuse me if my post doesn't sound clear.

    I'm attempting to create a form similar to an assessment. I have to use a lot of pictures for my questions. Below is an example:

    1. image=Picture of a car

    Question: Point to the rear of the car.
    Response: Correct Incorrect

    Originally, I thought that I would be able to just put in my image and question then add page break
    for a multi page form. However, I'm unable to use images in the multi form module.

    So my question is

    1. Does the multi page form supports images as part of the form.
    2. If the multi page form doesn't support images; what are the alternatives?

    Multi-page forms are just a type of display. They have nothing to do with supporting images or not. If you want to display an image in your form, then add an HTML block field to your form and insert the image tag to display the image.

    If you want to display an image in a checkbox or radio button, then you would add HTML to the checkbox choice name to display an image.

    HTML is supported in a variety of field types. It just isn't supported in the Field Label field (among others). But there is an HTML block field precisely for inserting HTML and images into a form wherever you place it.

    Thanks but now I'm having problems with the html block field not saving. I read another post on this problem. Is this an issue?

    It's not a known issue, what do you mean the HTML block wont' save? Fields don't save, the form itself saves as a whole. Can you describe the issue in more detail? What are you trying to add in your HTML block? What happens when you try and save your form?

    Here are the steps that I'm doing.
    1. I add an html block field.
    2. I enter some html code in the "content" section of the html block.
    3. When I go to preview. I don't see any of the html items.
    4. When I go back to the html block field to review the html source in the "content" section, it is blank.

    I am trying to add an image in the html block.

    Below is a post that was submitted last week that sounds similar to my issue:

    I also am seeing this issue, when I add a HTML block from the standard fields box, and then I add my HTML code into the content area, and save my form... it is stripping away all the HTML code and just leaving me with the plain text. As a work around for now, I'm going to place my HTML directly in my database, but hopefully a fix will be found soon :)

    Send me a WordPress admin login for this site via our Contact Us form and i'll take a look and see what is going on.

    Gravity Forms doesn't strip HTML from the HTML block, so it's most likely a theme or plugin conflict causing this issue.

    I'm unable to replicate this on your site.

    See this screenshot of the form I created on your site with an HTML block containing HTML: http://grab.by/9Tlh

    See this screenshot when I preview that form and you'll see the HTML is displayed, in this case it's a link that says Test: http://grab.by/9Tlg

    Can you create a text file with exactly what HTML you are trying to place in the HTML field and send it over to me as an attachment so I can test using the exact same HTML you are trying to use?

    I added an image to the html block that you created and it worked!

    However, I deleted your form and created another one on my own and it didn't work when I tried to insert the same image.

    However, I added another html block with your test link and it worked.

    Maybe, I need more in the html field for an image? I'm just inserting the below to test the html block.
    <img src="http://www.goldcoastwebdesigns.com/web.jpg">

    Edit: It's working now! I'm able to just insert pictures and other items. Thanks!

    It's still acting a bit weird but I can live with it. It seems to work if I don't use the first line in the content field. If I skip a line then it works fine.

    Oh well...I can live with that.
