Preselect radio button field via URL parameters

    Asked on August 11, 2015 at 12:40 AM

    I managed to make preselect radio button via URL parameters work directly in my form. But when I integrated the form in a website, the preselect radio button via URL parameters doesn't work.

     

    Here's the direct link of the jotform form with preselected radio button,

    http://form.jotform.me/form/52078545259463?typeOf=Niche

     

    and here's the link of the jotform form integrated in a website,

    http://onlinecribinc.com/packages/citation-sources-research/citation-sources-research-form/?typeOf=Niche

     

    How can I make it work if the form is integrated in a website? Hope you can help me.  Thanks!

    Thank you for contacting us.

    You can actually preselect radio button inside of JotForm Builder. Simply select radio button field, then click on Selected option and choose option that you want to be preselected.

    Uh oh!? I dunno what happened with the title of my question. But I wanted to know how to preselect a radio button via URL parameters.

    Here is the link (*I can't upload image) of the package where the customer will choose before they fill up the form:

    http://onlinecribinc.com/packages/citation-sources-research/

    If the customer wants a niche research, the form with preselect niche radio button will show and if the customer wants a geospecific research, the form with preselect geospecific radio button will show. I am sorry for not making it clear. Hope you could help me again. Thanks!

    Considering that you have embedded your form, you could achieve that by getting a full source code of your from and then you would need to write JQuery code to preselect a radio button. Inside of this article you can find how to preselect radio button with JQuery:

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27806098/how-to-pre-select-a-radio-button-in-jquery 

    Other solution is to redirect you users to form that is not embedded. Than you could just redirect them to http://form.jotform.me/form/52078545259463?typeOf=Geo%20Specific  of they choose first link and http://form.jotform.me/form/52078545259463?typeOf=Niche if they choose second link.

    Hope this will help. Let us know if you need further assistance.
