If you have been using our dhtmlxForm to build web-based forms, we hope that you will enjoy the new version 3.0 which is released in beta today. The update offers new capabilities of arranging form elements, allowing you to create long, complex forms of any design.
Download the latest package: dhtmlxForm v.3.0 beta (updated on March 18, 2011), and read about the new features:
New Options for Building Web Forms with Complex Structure
With this update, dhtmlxForm enables you to create web forms with any type of visual structure. You can now arrange form elements with absolute positioning, combine them into blocks, or group them using field sets.

dhtmlxForm - Multi-Column and Field Sets
The new version provides the ability to integrate web forms that are easy to understand and intuitive to use. You can choose what form layout to use to present your web form in the simplest and most user-friendly way.

Integration with Other Components
One more major enhancement in this release is integration with dhtmlxCombo, dhtmlxCalendar, dhtmlxEditor, and dhtmlxColorPicker. Adding a popup calendar, combo box with autocomplete, or simple text editor to your web forms is not a problem anymore. All these components can be easily attached to the form fields with minimum of coding.

Item Template
The updated dhtmlxForm offers the ability to create your own templates for the form items and present custom content as a value of the input field (link, image, or any HTML).
Other new features include a file upload input field and the ability to set parameters for a group of items. So, if you need a better tool for online form creation, download the updated dhtmlxForm and add interactive, Ajax-enabled web forms to your web site or application.

Is there a demo site to test drive?
Great!!…..
Do you have a plane to built “multi-select” item?I think it will be very usefully.
Here is my suggestion: If several checkboxs have the same name, After submit, It will save all the value(split with the comma mark) into single DB field.
“Do you have a plane to built “multi-select” item?”
It might be added in one of the future releases. We’ll consider adding this feature in dhtmlxForm, thanks for suggestion.
Perfect :D
I’m astonished, I only can say WOW!, Good job guys
Is it just me or is validation broken in this form? I can see _validate being called but it doesn’t seem to be defined anywhere and so always returns an undefined.
Is there another JS required?
dhtmlxForm 3.0 with fixed XML “validate” attribute can be found here:

THX!
Could You please test the newcolumn-feature in a tabbar-container?
I try it and the second column will always display on the upper edge of the container.
Outside the tabbar all works fine.

Please, start new topic on forum (here https://forum.dhtmlx.com/viewforum.php?f=17) and attach some screenshots with problems?

Changing the line to this with the additional “value” and “dateFormat”, I suppose it will should the default date value in the input box as “2011-03-03”, but it doesn’t
{type: “calendar”, name: “end_date”, label: “End Date”, value: “2011-03-03”, dateFormat: “%Y-%m-%d”}
Edward, we’ve sent you the demo with corrected files by email. The issue will be fixed in the official release. Thank you for reporting it.
is this work with dhtmlx common 2.5 ?
Yes, there shouldn’t be any problems with it.
Hi there, any ETA of this?
The official release of DHTMLX 3.0 (including the new dhtmlxForm) is planned on the end of May.
