Multiple forms embeded in an iframe or ?

Multiple forms embeded in an iframe or ?


I have created my app and it works great when I am in creator. Now I want to embed a portion of the app in my web page. I am looking for a couple of hints and other peoples experience. I am not a web site developer, I have created some basic web pages using iweb that is the extent of my web site development experience.

My creator app has 8 forms that I am sharing so that a visitor may fill them in. Based upon choices they may fill in as few as 5 forms.

My Experiments

Same Window Option
If I embed the iframe code in a web page with the option same window on the openurl it does not do anything. 

New Windows
With the iframe code a new page opened with the first form in it when I hit submit. I don't really understand this - why it opened the original form and not the next form.

Parent Window
If I embed the iframe code in a web page with the option parent window nothing happens.

Popup window
If I embed the iframe code in a web page with the option popup window the next form pops up and works correctly. The issue is the popup is inside the iframe so it reacts kind of strangely.

If I use the permalink option I get the same results as when I embed in an iframe. The only option that opens up Form B is the popup window. I thought a link with no frame would work but no luck yet.

If I just copy the link that is used when I am in creator http://creator.zoho.com/shadrach/myapp/#Form:NextForm_Step_A - Then it works fine.


To open the next form I am using

openUrl("#Form:NextForm_Step_x?IDNUM=" + r.ID,"same window");

How are others embedding multiple forms in web sites? I notice that there is a long string on the end of the insert code creator provides Do I need to somehow add that to my openurl code. Is there a reason to not use the exact url instead of the code creator suggests?

Thanks for sharing your experiences.
