If you have a container and two sub containers, you can do like this

jQuery

    $("#previousbutton").click(function() {
    $("#form_sub_container1").show();
    $("#form_sub_container2").hide(); })

    $("#nextbutton").click(function() {
    $("#form_container").find(":hidden").show().next();
    $("#form_sub_container1").hide();
})

HTML

     <div id="form_container">
            <div id="form_sub_container1" style="display: block;">
            </div>

            <div id="form_sub_container2" style="display: none;">
            </div>
     </div>

There s something I bet you already heard about this  It s called jQuery       button1   click function             form1   show         It s really easy and you can use CSS-like selectors and you can add animations  It s really easy to learn

Use the following code fragment to hide the form on button click   document getElementById  your form id   style display  none     And the following code to display it   document getElementById  your form id   style display  block     Or you can use the same function for both purposes   function asd a        if a  1          document getElementById  asd   style display  none       else         document getElementById  asd   style display  block       And the HTML    lt form id  asd  gt form  lt  form gt   lt button onclick  asd 1   gt Hide lt  button gt   lt button onclick  asd 2   gt Show lt  button gt
