Adding Form Collapse to Form

  • leslieradon
    Asked on May 9, 2016 at 8:17 AM

    I have spent hours going through the templates but can't see anything like my attachment.

     

    In this form, you click on a piece of tex, and a small box opens alongside.

     

    If this is not feasible, I would like to have a text list (in boxes as the attachment) and when clicking on one piece of text another jotform OR an image opens ON THE SAME PAGE.

     

    Is this too much?

    Hello,

    It's quite similar to how the form collapse element works. So there is a possibility on how to make it work, although you will need to manually create this and manually design this by injecting CSS into your form.

    Here's a sample of that collapse element in action: https://form.jotform.com/61295032696965

    Note: I did not fully put on a design and just gave a sample on how the element works.

    You can find the said form collapse element, on the left panel under Survey Fields

    Ideally, what you can do for now is create the fields that you have in mind and we can help by instructing you on the next steps in order to achieve how you wish for your form to appear.

    Please do get back to us with your updates.

    Thanks.

    Hey,
    Good to hear from you.
    I have attached the list that I want to put into the form.
    Each line on the list, should open up to expose, text and / or image.
    See my attachment, look on the kr-services-ALL page. (in Excel file; KR
    Explore)
    Meanwhile I am learning all I can from your instructions.
    Cheers,
    Leslie Radon

    hello Leslie,

    Unfortunately, no list was attached. If you're trying to attach a document, unfortunately, it's not possible here at the forum, as mentioned by Chriistian.

    Would it be possible to paste the text here instead?

    Thanks.

    I have created a demo form where I added the Form Collapse with the titles from the list you have provided. Here's the link to the demo form: https://form.jotform.com/61321553121946 

    You can use and modify the demo form by cloning the demo form to your account. To do so, simply follow this guide: How to Clone an Existing Form from a URL

    Hello Christian,
    Yes, that's the kind of thing I'm after. Thanks so much.
    Now I need to reduce the size of it, and the text a lot; so that the
    whole form can be seen without scrolling.
    When I open properties, I see only 3 adjustments, none is text size,
    etc.
    How can I adjust the text size and the frame size?
    Thank you, Leslie Radon

    Hello Christian,
    I have figured out how to change the font. With CCS preferences. That's
    ok.
    I have reduced the width of the boxes just by click and dragging.
    But I am stuck on how to reduce the depth of the boxes. Distance from
    top to bottom. They take up a lot of room.
    Also when I click one of the boxes it opens ok but jumps, the whole
    thing goes to the top of the page and it takes a while to figure out
    what has happened.
    It would be better if it didn't move, like my sammple i send you. Can
    you help in this regard?

    I see that you were able to adjust the width of the boxes successfully. As for the distance of the boxes from each other, you can modify them by injecting the custom css below:

    .form-section-closed {

        height: 40px!important;

    }

    To inject css, simply follow this guide: How To Inject Custom CSS.

    As for the jumping of the boxes, unfortunately there is no option on the form builder to disable it. However, we can avoid the jump from happening by adding ?nojump at the end of the URL of your form.

    Here's a URL of your form where I added ?nojump at the end: http://www.jotform.com/form/61321931871453?nojump

    You will notice that the form no longer jumps to a certain point when opening a box.
