Multi-page forms one page to another

    I have seen some multipage gravity forms in action and it looks like it uses javascript to go from one "page" to another, however the page url doesn't change. So if I was on http://www.mywebsite.com/contact and I click the next button it just hides the original questions and shows the newer questions whilst still being on the same http://www.mywebsite.com/contact URL. Is it possible to parse content from one website url to another whilst still maintaining the form data from the first URL using Gravity Forms?

    I really need this feature as what I want to do is have an email address field in the footer of my website where the user types in their email address, and when they click submit/next it takes them to a new page with more fields like name and address etc. but I want to retain the users email address they already submitted (this is because I don't want every page to have a massive form in the footer.

    If you turn AJAX off, you might get closer to what you want. Also have a look at this hook:

    Let me know if this helps.

  3. You can also do this with dynamic population from one from to another. Meaning you would need to do this with two forms. Form 1 would contain your email field and the confirmation redirect url would go to the URL to form 2 and pass data via query string where an email field will be on this form and set to populate dynamically, and it will pull in the data from form 1 appropriately.

    Hi David,

    This hook you mentioned, do you have to modify the form_display file to achieve this and will this effect every form, or can you apply a hook to a specific form? Where it says "number of page" is it referring to the Wordpress page ID?

    Hi Rob,

    I totally get what you are saying. Is this something easy to do i.e. is it built in to gravity forms? How does one add a query string to a form and how does one make a field populate dynamically; is there any documentation on this provided? I want to know it is easy before I purchase.

    THANKS!
