How to pre-populate an embedded form?

    Asked on April 11, 2017 at 11:29 AM
    With regard to the previous code to retain the inputted drop downs, then redirect, i have changed it to point to a page on my website then added the placeholder code as follows: 

     

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://form.jotformeu.com/jsform/70962731177360?iNeed={iNeed}&isIt={isIt}"></script>

     

    the form appears but doesnt contact any retention previously inputted. Any ideas?

    I was inspecting your form and I could see what you're currently referring to, I noticed there's an error in the pre-population method you used, for example, passing the variables as you're currently doing will not work: 

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://form.jotformeu.com/jsform/70962731177360?iNeed={iNeed}&isIt={isIt}"></script>

    You will need to pass the variables through the link to the webpage the form is embedded on, example: 

    https://www.skytekit.com/n/post-your-job.htm?iNeed=Business&isIt=Office

    Could you please try doing this change on your webpage? 

    Here're the steps: 

    1. Edit your first form (http://www.jotformeu.com/form/70992569034364) and change the custom thank you page, pass the variables from this form as shown on my example: 

    https://www.skytekit.com/n/post-your-job.htm?iNeed={iNeed}&isIt={isIt}

    2. Go to your webpage and edit the current embedded code, it should be like this: 

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://form.jotformeu.com/jsform/70962731177360"></script>

    Note that the variables in the link of the embedded code have been removed. 

    3. Please, test your first form and it should redirect to the second webpage with the fields pre-populated. 

    Please, do let us know how it goes.

    Just one last thing regarding this case. The tab that is highlighted appears to be incorrect when pressing 'Next' - although this works fine in jotform when previewing, it fails when on my site. You can test this from here: https://www.skytekit.com/n/ - Also the submit button isnt aligned even though i added the CSS.
    Thanks
