Multi Section Form is a free Tailwind CSS starter template that creates a scrollspy-driven multi-section form layout, ideal for settings-style pages.
What is Multi Section Form?
This template is a starting point for a multi-section form using scrollspy, created by Tailwind Toolbox and built on Tailwind CSS. It takes a collection of form fields grouped into sections and outputs a single-page settings interface where navigation links highlight the section currently in view. The entire template is a single HTML file using the full CDN-hosted Tailwind CSS build, with jQuery powering the scrollspy behavior and Tailwind Custom Forms (also via CDN) styling the inputs. It is maintained by Amrit Nagi and released under the MIT license.
Key Features
- Scrollspy navigation — jQuery-driven scrollspy tracks the active form section as the user scrolls, with the current section highlighted in the navigation.
- CDN-hosted Tailwind CSS — the template loads the full Tailwind CSS file from a CDN, so there is no build step or local installation required to run it.
- Tailwind Custom Forms integration — the CDN version of Tailwind Custom Forms styles checkboxes, selects, and inputs so they fit the Tailwind aesthetic.
- Single-file structure — the whole template lives in one HTML file, making it easy to read, edit, and reuse for a settings or account page.
- Open-source on GitHub — the source is public, with options to download a zip, clone via git, or fork the repository.
- MIT license — the code is free to use in both personal and commercial projects without restrictions.
Who is it for?
- Web developers building settings pages, account dashboards, or onboarding forms that benefit from sectioned navigation.
- Tailwind CSS learners who want a working example of scrollspy plus a Tailwind Custom Forms integration to study or adapt.
- Prototypers who need a quick, unstyled starting point for a multi-step or multi-section form rather than designing from scratch.
What can you do with Multi Section Form?
- Build a settings page — group profile, security, notification, and other preferences into sections, with scrollspy links that let users jump between them.
- Learn scrollspy with jQuery — the template demonstrates a minimal scrollspy implementation you can trace and rework for other projects.
- Customize the Tailwind theme — Tailwind Toolbox's setup guide walks you through configuring the framework to match your brand instead of relying on the CDN defaults.
FAQ
Is Multi Section Form free?
Yes, the template is open source and released under the MIT license, so you can use it for free in personal and commercial projects. The GitHub repository provides the full code and the only cost is whatever you spend on hosting your final HTML.
Does Multi Section Form require a build tool?
No. The template is a single HTML file that loads Tailwind CSS and Tailwind Custom Forms from a CDN. You can open it in a browser directly or upload it to any static host without running npm, webpack, or another build tool.
What is scrollspy in this template?
Scrollspy is a jQuery behavior included in the template that watches which form section is in view as you scroll and highlights the corresponding navigation link. It helps users orient themselves on long settings forms without having to page through separate tabs.
Can I use this for a checkout form?
Yes, the layout works for any multi-section form, including checkout or profile creation flows. You will need to add your own payment or validation logic, since the template only provides the visual structure and scrollspy navigation, not backend handling.
