Forms consist of one or more steps, each of which contains form elements. The form elements are the basis of the form's interface. By default, Interactive Forms contains eighteen elements that you can use to build the interface of each step in a form. In addition to the form elements, there are also Handlers, Prehandlers, and Routers that you can define that can execute actions based on what a visitor enters in a form step.


Note

The number of form elements can also be extended by a developer to offer more form options. This section only describes the use of the default Interactive Forms form elements.
