TOPIC: Conditional Fields are too slow - causing wrong records

Hi all,

I have a quite large registration form (Joomla 1.5.22 and DTRegister 2.7.3) with about 60 fields.
All fields depend on the very first field where I ask "Will you attend the event?". The default value is "no".
When the user chooses "yes" the 60 fields appear. But this reloading of the conditional fields is too slow. Some user click on the "Next Step"-Button before the 60 fields are shown. This results in a wrong record set.
Is there any way to make this faster?
Or can I show any kind of wait-animation until the 60 fields are loaded?
Or can I show an Error when the user clicks "Next step" without waiting long enough? (Remark: Some of the 60 fields are mandatory. But this does not cause an error!)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much!
Arno

Not sure I understand why you are taking them to an event registration page and then asking them if they will attend the event? Why don't you ask the "Will you attend the event?" on another page and then if they reply yes, take them to the registration page? Or are you trying to record the "no" answer as well for some reason?

Hi Steve,

thank you fo your reply. Well - the answer to your question is, that our event registration form is made for a company internal use for the upper management. We try to make the process as simple as possible for them

Nevertheless is this issue annoying. Regardless of the particular use case.

Best regards
Arno
