After coming across this form design, I am inspired to create something similar with a twist. Instead of having each tab display all content at once, I want the tabs to scroll from right to left, giving it a more animated effect. Can someone offer suggestions on how to achieve this? I have an idea of using overflow:hidden; for the container and positioning tabs off-screen, but I'm not sure about the JavaScript implementation.
var currentTab = 0; // Setting the first tab as current (0)
showTab(currentTab); // Show the current tab
function showTab(n) {
var x = document.getElementsByClassName("tab");
x[n].style.display = "block";
if (n == 0) {
document.getElementById("prevBtn").style.display = "none";
} else {
document.getElementById("prevBtn").style.display = "inline";
}
if (n == (x.length - 1)) {
document.getElementById("nextBtn").innerHTML = "Submit";
} else {
document.getElementById("nextBtn").innerHTML = "Next";
}
fixStepIndicator(n);
}
function nextPrev(n) {
var x = document.getElementsByClassName("tab");
if (n == 1 && !validateForm()) return false;
x[currentTab].style.display = "none";
currentTab = currentTab + n;
if (currentTab >= x.length) {
document.getElementById("regForm").submit();
return false;
}
showTab(currentTab);
}
function validateForm() {
var x, y, i, valid = true;
x = document.getElementsByClassName("tab");
y = x[currentTab].getElementsByTagName("input");
for (i = 0; i < y.length; i++) {
if (y[i].value == "") {
y[i].className += " invalid";
valid = false;
}
}
if (valid) {
document.getElementsByClassName("step")[currentTab].className += " finish";
}
return valid;
}
function fixStepIndicator(n) {
var i, x = document.getElementsByClassName("step");
for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
x[i].className = x[i].className.replace(" active", "");
}
x[n].className += " active";
}#regForm {
background-color: #ffffff;
margin: 100px auto;
padding: 40px;
width: 70%;
min-width: 300px;
}
input {
padding: 10px;
width: 100%;
font-size: 17px;
font-family: Raleway;
border: 1px solid #aaaaaa;
}
input.invalid {
background-color: #ffdddd;
}
.tab {
display: none;
}
.step {
height: 15px;
width: 15px;
margin: 0 2px;
background-color: #bbbbbb;
border: none;
border-radius: 50%;
display: inline-block;
opacity: 0.5;
}
.step.active {
opacity: 1;
}
.step.finish {
background-color: #4CAF50;
}<form id="regForm" action="">
<h1>Register:</h1>
<div class="tab">Name:
<p><input placeholder="First name..." oninput="this.className = ''"></p>
<p><input placeholder="Last name..." oninput="this.className = ''"></p>
</div>
<div class="tab">Contact Info:
<p><input placeholder="E-mail..." oninput="this.className = ''"></p>
<p><input placeholder="Phone..." oninput="this.className = ''"></p>
</div>
...
If anyone can provide guidance on creating an animated scrolling effect for these form tabs, I would greatly appreciate it!
