A long form provides a complex structure for the users. We need to break it into multiple steps to make long form user-friendly. Multi Step Form Wizard<\/b> helps to make long form user-friendly by dividing it into multiple steps. With multi step form interface, only a few inputs are showing on each screen and the user can complete input form fields by multiple steps. You can create a form with multiple steps to prevent users from feeling confused by seeing lots of form fields.<\/p>\n
Multi-step form can be used for any type of form where a huge number of input fields are added. The progress bar is a useful element to display the status of the completed steps in the multi-step form wizard. In this tutorial, we will give you a step-by-step guide to create multi step form with progress bar and validation<\/b> using HTML, CSS, and jQuery. Also, we will show you how to implement multi step form submission functionality in web application using PHP and MySQL.<\/p>\n
In this example script, we will build multi step registration form<\/b> with jQuery using PHP. The progress bar will display at the top of the form that will represent the steps. The \u201cPrevious\u201d and \u201cNext\u201d buttons will be placed at each step, these buttons help the user to navigate between form steps.<\/p>\n
We will build a Multi Step Form wizard<\/b> in the following steps.<\/p>\n Before getting started to build Multi Step Form with Validation, look at the file structure below.<\/p>\n Define the HTML elements to create the layout of the multi-step form fields and progress bar.<\/p>\n\n
