Question

Creating collapsible lists for order form

I want to create an order form which contains numerous products, grouped in certain categories.  Is it possible to:

- create lists of products, each product having their own RRP

- Different types of products sorted into their groups

- have a Quantity field where the purchaser can choose how many of each product

- and then have calculations done, based on the quantity of each item purchased, sub totalled for each group with a Final Total as well

 

I have been looking at another online program, Jotform, which creates forms similar to Adobe, but also allows you to do these things (above) quite easily.

This can be done with dropdown fields to set up the form and then use the built-in calculation tool to calculate totals, or in case of something more complex use JavaScript.

If you can show us some example how you want this to look maybe we can help you more.

Thanks Nesa.  I hope this makes sense.  See attached images:

Jotform 1 is a screen shot of the first part of the online form.  All pretty simple and easy to do.

Jotform 2 shows the categories of equipment.  You can see drop down arrows next to each one.

Jotform 3 shows a couple of the categories expanded.  As soon as you expand, there are check boxes to select a product.  As soon as you select it, it expands further to show the list of equipment that you can get with that product.  From there, you can select the quantity of each piece of equipment and it automatically subtotals the cost.

 

It is very simple to put together in Jotform. I would like to use Adobe as that is generally the standard that people use for pdf's.

What do you think?  Is this possible??  (I have absolutely no experience with Java script)
