Multiple Textboxes

View live demo

A multiple textbox question provides several single-line text entry fields, which are combined as one answer. This question type is best suited for several pieces of related information, such as the various parts of a postal address.

Using the Validate Answer Format option, you can restrict the contents of the textboxes to a particular format. For example, if you want to capture a series of numbers, you can create a rule to automatically check that the entries only contain integers.

If you want to collect several pieces of unrelated information, use the Single Textbox question type.
