hkay1 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi there, I apologize if I am trying to use a sledgehammer to tap in a thumbtack. I found another solution to a question I had about PHP by poking around the internet, so I thought I might try again - but this time I can't find it and have to post. I am a user of Coffee Cup Flash Form Builder, a very simple WISIWIG form builder. I have built our website of 8000 pages by myself but am still a layperson. We are doing our first form and its not too bad looking, and the form tabs fine. However, at the bottom of the screen, when the user tabs, the page does not jump and advance the form, and instead the user has to manually scroll down the page and begin entering data again. Is there any simple PHP code I can add to create this funtionality? The form has no scrollbar of its own and is embedded in an HTML page on our website. I realize this site is for power users, rather than simpletons like me, but I didn't know where else to turn as the program vendor does not support manual PHP code changes. Thanks in advance for your guidance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
per1os Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 PHP cannot solve this problem, as PHP is server-side. You need a Client side solution. Sounds like an HTML/CSS issue to me. Maybe use Javascript to solve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonMariner Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 its a flash file so the browser will not know where abouts on the scene you are - a html form would not have the same issues... if you know then you could get flash to grab the co-ordinates of the cursor each time a an element gains focus and then send it to some javascript. The javascript would have to then grab the position on teh screen of the flash file and add the y-co-ordinate sent from flash. It could then scroll to that point. Personally I would not use flash for this - there is no need for any 'fabulous' graphical experience so a good old html form would be better...

hkay1 Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Sigh. Thanks. I don't know my flash from my ash at this point. I have already committed to this form builder software so I will just leave it be. Thanks anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
