SID-00685: Position Forms on a Page

I have two questions: 1. Is it possible to position forms on a page? They always appear near the bottom of whatever I enter on the page. Also, is it possible to enter more than one of the same form on the same page?

Discussion and Answer

1) Please see the FAQ, HowToMoveTheFormToTheTopOfThePage and the recent SID-00647.

2) No. Depending on what you're trying to do, you might be able to use VarINCLUDE or IFrameExample as a work-around.

On 2, you can create multiple forms, where some form fields are shared. That allows you to run queries across multiple types. For example, you have a base form called TransportationForm and a AutomobileForm and AirplaneForm. The latter two share all fields of the first and have additional fields. Now you can run a query across all forms of transportation.

I wanted to do what they did on fresh meat. And everytime we have a new news story have a title, body , tags, date, and author with the ability to do multiple on a page. Is this possible without the blog plugin?
