Multipage form - supplemental content

    I have a multipage form and wish to add supplement "help" content that changes with each page in the form. Is this possible using AJAX or do I need to turn Ajax off?

  2. If you want "help" content you can add an HTML field to your form and place the "help" content in that HTML field. An HTML field isn't a form field but a container where you can place any HTML or text and then position it anywhere in your form.

    So if you want to display help text on each page, add an HTML field to each page of your form and place the content you want to display in that HTML field.

    AJAX doesn't matter as far as this goes. MOST situations do not require AJAX. People tend to always turn AJAX on but it really only needs to be used in certain situations where a page refresh isn't ideal.

    Carl,
    I am trying to use JavaScript in the HTML field to change the text in DIVS on the outer page. The problem is that all the JavaScript in each of the HTML pages is executing when a new form page is rendered, regardless of which page you're on.

    How do I prevent the JavaScript on the individual form pages OTHER than the page you're on from executing?

    Solved. I'm grabbing the display property of each page. If the display != "none" I know I'm on that page and thus can change the text for that page.
