I think it should work, because it still is a one page form, so nothing gets submitted before the final step (therefore the server side error handling would work i suppose). The used jQuery code is validating the parts of the form on the client side too.

The main problem (I think) is in dealing with server-side error handling. What if you submit the form and ZCR says there’s something wrong in a form field in step 2? Ideally, I think the visitor should see step two with an error message that indicates what’s wrong. So you’d need to use javascipt to read the server-side errors (which are returned in the HTML code) and use that information to properly display the form. Most things can be checked on the client side, to avoid server-side errors… it’s mainly the email address that can’t really be checked without actually doing DNS lookups etc.

Could I add an CCO field?
I’d like to have in my contact form a hidden receiver.
Is it possible?

If you mean a BCC field, edit the plugin, find the line that reads $headers = 'From: '.$from. and add just below: $sep.'Bcc: <email address>'.

Hello,
I’m using zem_contact_reborn for a form where I can have up to two [different] email addresses. I need the first to be always the sender. Is that possible? I know zcr puts possibly the last email address as sender.

Thank you very much

Is there a way to put in multiple email fields and have both be validated? For example, contact email and billing email?

Also, is there a way to display the form results on the confirmation page, for the visitor to print for their records?

I don’t think it has, I’ve added placeholders via jQuery in the mean time.

$('label.zemText, label.zemTextarea').remove();
$('#Name').attr('placeholder','Name');
$('#email').attr('placeholder','E-Mail');
$('#message').attr('placeholder','Message');

I have a heavenly modified version of ZCR, with support for a lot of HTML5 attributes. If someone is interested, I can pack it up. As I suppose a newer version of the plugin will come with TXP 4.5, I’m not going to finish it. But for the meantime it works fine for me.
