Creating simulated multipage forms

Sometimes you may want to break a single form into several logical pages, which compose a single form submission. There are two basic approaches to doing this in M-Business Anywhere:

  • Using DHTML to selectively hide and display information for the different logical pages.

  • Use DOM operations on the Submission Manager to build multiple pages, and a single form, in which the application operates on a single form submission.

These approaches are described in more detail in Serializing forms: breaking one form into several pages. A pair of code samples, each illustrating one of the above approaches, is available online. See Serializing form submissions with M-Business Client.
