A required field (client side) would put a quick stop to that. Personally, I've found people dislike multipart forms... They want the opportunity to evaluate whether a kitchen-sink form is worth their time before beginning the process. In split-run tests I've run the big form has always had a higher completion rate over a multipart (where the user fills the form voluntarily).
On this particular project I changed the rules and shortened the form dramatically, taking it to bare essentials needed to generate a price quote. Completion rate in the last five weeks rose to a solid average of 26% of all site visitors; hard for a graphic designer trying to apply their 'vision' to argue with. --Matt Robertson-- MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 7:06 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: multi-page forms Except that the user like I did could scroll down the page and skip the previous selections. I personally consider this bad, only because I can skip sections and got right to the last page. Maybe using hidden divs, and the display them would be more beneficial. -----Original Message----- From: stas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 29 January 2002 1:23 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: multi-page forms Do I feel silly... I kind of skipped the bottom of your original message. It is indeed an interesting approach then! ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
