Thank you for contacting us.

Could you please provide us with the form ID in question? Then, we will be able to proceed with the further investigation in this matter.

It looks like my form is doing the same thing - and says "form ID does not exist".  Here is the Form ID for my form:

I'm trying to use the swap "from" with "www" to get this to pull up my pre-populated from that the user can edit.

It's puling up the form but it is a blank/new form - it's not pulling in the old data so the udser can edit it.

Othe rthan that - this Confirmation Page trick is just excellent and working perfectly.

I'm amazed at how powerful and customizable jotform is.

time to upgrade that account me thinks....

I think you can do the trick , by following this guide , try to implement an autoresponder, following steps 9 to 15

Let us know if you were able to accomplish this trick , otherwise feel free to look for more assistance

Cheers!

thanks jeanette - i think i understand that but not quite workign yet-

this is the exact code i'm using-

<br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.jotform.us/form/22074903236146&session={id}&mode=edit"><button>Edit Entries</button></a><span style="padding-left: 14px;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.example.com" rel="nofollow"><button>Complete Submission</button></a></span>

@skompdev

Ok, my fault, in your case , if you want your user to just edit their submission, just add the edit link field in the autoresponder template

Please check this guide

Please open a new thread to assist you further,  if that is the case. We are always happy to assist

Best regards

thanks Jeanette - I'm getting close....

Lets say i wanted to make that "editable" form a form that I have embedded on my website, not jotform.

http://www.jotform.com/answers/103105-Security-of-Form-using-the-How-to-Continue-your-form-later-guide-Session-Multiple-Upload-Problem

I've following the tips in that thread to try to accomplish this. This is the URL that I condstructed and have linked to the "Edit Entries" button on the "Thank You" notification. 

http://www.skomp.net/HOTDOG/apporder1.html?session=209484065850504178&mode=edit@jotform.com-22115102697144

If i fill out the form first here http://www.skomp.net/HOTDOG/apporder1.html? and then hit submit. The conformation does appear and and when I click the Edit Entries button -

It does return to the form, but it is a new blank form, no values have been saved.

It works great on the sample form that is hosted on jotform, so it's somethign to do with my URL/Session....

@50appfuse/skompdev

The edit link parameters will not work when used in an external site with an embedded form.

The URL below is not valid:

http://www.skomp.net/HOTDOG/apporder1.html?session=209484065850504178&mode=edit@jotform.com-22115102697144

The edit link feature uses a JotForm PHP page whose function is to retrieve previously submitted data and save changes made to it. This php page is not present on an embedded form, thus the edit link cannot be called from a page with an embedded form.

Notice the form.php page on the sample edit link below:

http://www.jotform.us/form.php?formID=22115102697144&sid=209488773643744209&mode=edit

To make this work from your site:

1.  Embed the the codes below on a blank page hosted on your site:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(" <iframe style=\"width:100%; height:1024px; border:none;\" src=\"http://www.jotform.us/form.php" + window.location.search + "\"></" +"iframe> ");
</script>

2.  Get the link of this blank page, then use it in place of http://www.jotform.com/form.php in the codes below:

For example:

<br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.jotform.com/form.php?formID=12345678901&sid={id}&mode=edit"><button>Edit Entries</button></a><span style="padding-left: 14px;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.example.com" rel="nofollow"><button>Complete Submission</button></a></span>

will become:

<br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.skomp.net/HOTDOG/edit.html?formID=12345678901&sid={id}&mode=edit"><button>Edit Entries</button></a><span style="padding-left: 14px;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.example.com" rel="nofollow"><button>Complete Submission</button></a></span>

3.  Use the finalized codes on your form's Thank You message/page.

Inform us if you're having difficulties implementing this solution.

Many Thanks Neil, the support/response @ here is teriffic. Appreciate the time to break that down and the code samples.

That worked in @ 2 seconds. I'm all set now. 

I think i was getting close and saw that embed code in some other posts. I didn't realize I could just use it on a 'blank' page as an 'embed' form. duh. I was burning up submissions testing it out LOL. Had to set-up another account! Great and only way to learn, trial and error.

Flexibilty of JOTFORM is amazing. Lookng to start using it more in some mobile applications!

@50appfuse

We are very pleased you are all set. We appreciate your kind words about our service!

Feel free to look for further assistance, any time.

Jeanette

Will do! It took me a few tests to realize i was burning up 3 submissions per test.

I wanted to use the "Save to Continue Forms" method and take in a name/email first on a seperate form and then direct to the order form. But that was burning up 5 submissions per test!

It's worth it tho, every form really needs to be editable. People make mistakes or chnage their minds. Esp on a mobile device/tablets with the small screens and fumbling fingers, they need the ability.Don't want to lose a sale over a submission.  

Now to get generating some revenue so I can afford the 1,000,000 submission account, then no worries! 

Hurray!  We wish you lot of success in your endeavor !

Cheers!
