I am trying to create a list of data input to the same "question." A user is asked to describe the steps through a process. I want to have the user submit step one and store it into an array. The tricky part is allowing the user to get back to the form to input step two. At least, it's tricky for me.

I could use several blank forms on the website and terminate the program when the form input value is blank, but I'm sure there has to be a better way. I can write a Javascript program that counts step one, but how do I get out of the loop to allow the user to input the second, third, fourth, etc steps? Then keep count and store each step(string) into an array?

I hope this makes sense and I hope someone can offer suggestions. Thanks.

hi bbm_builder

try googling for 'multi page form' and you will find tutorials on how to do it - some are server side (asp / php) some are client side (javascript)

hope this helps
