I want to break up the form into large chunks to make it easier for the
user, yes.
I have 5 steps defined containing the fields, and then changed the code to
the following so that the entire form is displayed on the page with the
following:
STEPS = {0: ('fields1', 'fields2', 'fields3'),
1: ('fields3', 'fields5', 'fields6'),
....#and so on
record = db.myform(request.args(0))
form =SQLFORM(db.myform, record)
if form.accepts(request,session):
response.flash='Thanks,form submitted'
redirect(URL'(myformlist'))
else:
# db.myform.insert(**session.myform)
session.flash = T('form completed')
#redirect(fields)
return dict(form=form)
Now the jquery works again, but I just want to make sure I am understanding
you and going about it the right way.
Can I use the steps I have defined with the form wizard, instead of having
to do hundreds of jquery commands with individual fields, using the jQuery
steps implementation?
Or do I use only the jQuery steps documentation without the web2py form
wizard steps, and make steps only using that documentation.
I hope the way I am wording this makes sense, it sounds kind of confusing.
I think I'm making this more confusing than it needs to be, sorry but I
have been stuck on this for a while.
