The issue that you wil face is that the floating field is not interactive. Meaning that it was designed to accept a data stream and rplace the field with the text in the data node that is bound to the field. Then the field is turned into plain text (non interactive) and the text block is reflowed. This can only be done when the form is initially layed out. In your case you want to collect information on one page then have the floating fields elsewhere in the same form adjusted.

There is a post by John Brinkman that is very technical and shows that it can be done .....but it is difficult....or you coudl break the form into two different forms. It comes in two parts:

part 1 - http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2009/10/editable_floating_fields.html

part 2 - http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2009/11/editable_floating_fields_v2.html

The collection form and the display form. In this case the data from the collection form could be passed to the display form and the product woudl work as normal.

Hoep that helps
