Multiple Step Form

This lesson is part of How To · All levels

Summary

This lesson explains how to break long forms into several steps or wizards. Each step is displayed one by one, the user can move forward after the data on the active step is valid, and can return to correct their entries. This approach reduces visual burden, but all fields remain in one form so that the final data is easy to submit.

Key points

Keep the active step index and display only the appropriate fieldset
Validate the field on the active step before allowing the Next button
Hide the steps with CSS class, not by removing elements from DOM
Display progress indicators and maintain data when users return to previous steps
