    I plan to have a small series of multipage forms embedded as separate iframes on a different website. I wish to ensure that the iframe has the same look/feel as the hosting website.  How is the best way to approach this issue?

    Hi Chris,

    The multipage form needs to be in a page.

    To ensure that the iframe has the same look/feel as the hosting website you need to use the exact same page styling from the hosting website and apply on the page that you are displaying using iframe.

    To match/add the  hosting website styles to the page there are 3 approaches:
    -Drag and drop a CSS widget into the page and add the styles.
    -Drag and drop a CSS widget into the form and add the styles.
    -Create a template with the hosting website styles and apply that template to your page which needs to be embedded in iframe.

    If you are using more than 1 page for your forms, it make sense to use page template.

    Please let me know if you have any other question regarding this issue.

    Thanks,
    Sonam Joshi
