Quick question:
If you were filling out a survey form/questionnaire type thing - would you rather:
a) Full out one long form with everything on it
b) Fill out 5 questions at a time - and then click a 'next' button?
ta.

B
I get scared if I see a long list...
so I dont have motivation to continue...

b. but you need to let people know how many pagges there are
ie.
page 1/5.

thanks all!

But wouldn't you be better off knowing exactly what you're about to answer, instead of answering one page after another only to find out that the last page's form is like "are you a transvestite, if so please describe"
Just an idea..

oh the people using it will know exactly what it is for - it's jsut an organisational questionnaire about company structure

So basically, you're saying that if the CFO is a saturday-chick-with-dick nobody would find out?

hahahahah!
uh...yeah

the 5 seperate forms may be better because if there's an error while processing the form users may be more content to fill out those five questions instead of having to go back and fill out the 50.
na'mean.

client side validation would knock that problem on the head...
