There’s also mooform, which I’ve used to create a few pre-screening forms for rental properties I posted on craigslist. Worked pretty well and had some nice additional features that I didn’t try out.

This looks, on the face of it, brilliant, but I’ve just used Wufoo for so long. Maybe I’ll give it a go if people could help me out with any issues? Is it worth using over Wufoo?

What I would really love to see in one of them would be a form builder that can build complex conditionals using radio buttons/drop downs + other inputs. I do it by hand now, but like every good programmer… I’m lazy (:

I just tried Flovv mentioned here, interface seems understandable, but it seems you can only collect the form results by logging into the Flovv site each time you want them…

http://www.flovv.com is a new multi page form builder, it incorporates conditional branching and a flow view of the linking of the pages: try it out because its completely free!!

Damn! All of these haven’t the feature I’m searching for.
I need a form which creates new input fields when last field has been filled.

Is there any web master for this site who can delete spam in this forum. I need ajax form for my web site and want to host it in my server. Any help?

Check out frevvo … it’s a new entry in this [I know] crowded space. But, there are some big differences: XML support, fancy layouts, repeating elements, business rules, complex validation, dynamic form elements – all the kinds of things you need for real business forms – the kind that would cost you $75K with InfoPath to implement.

From the looks of it, it seems that Wufoo is way way ahead,

it seems all these formbuilders force you to have your forms hosted on their own servers. For most companies this is not a valid option.
Zapatec offers you the entire library so you can host the forms on your own servers.

@Milan Hawkins

We are creating a form builder for a large government department. Roughly about 1% of our users are compentent enough to program new forms, yet about 50-70% of our users currently create forms.

This puts a massive load our producers to create these never ending forms.

During focus groups our users requested that they be able to create electronic forms that where made though other electronic forms (a form builder). We did some user testing on mock ups and found that the vast majority of them could make forms pretty easily.

As for the resulting outcomes of an electronic form … I’m not so sure what’s so comlicated about e-mails and demographics that it would restrict the number of people who can use it.

Granted, these form builders have potential, but who are they aimed at? If you’re already able to build forms you will do, and if you can’t it seems unlikely that you’d know what to do with the resulting information.

I’ve been looking for a client hosted solution as well and have come up short on all fronts. It doesn’t seem like there is a system out there yet for it.

are there any open source ajax form builders out there? even if ever so basic?
