Compatible with Phone Submissions?

    Asked on May 10, 2017 at 3:20 PM

    Hi Jotform,

    I've had someone tell me that they were unable to submit my form.  They state that they were filling it out on their phone.  Do you know of any issues with the form with mobile phones?

     

     

    Thanks for your help!

    JotForm forms are compatible with mobile devices, they are optimized to work the same way. 

    Have you embedded your forms in any website? 

    This may be the cause about why your users are experiencing the issue, sometimes there are conflicts between the scripts that JotForm uses and the scripts on your websites. 

    Please, share us the link in case you have embedded your form and we will be glad to further check it from our end. 

    Looking forward to your response.

    Thank you for the links, I have checked your form and I can see it works fine; however, when I view the form in a mobile device I can see the name field does not display properly:

    Since the field is required it will not allow your users to submit the form without filling these fields, something that is not possible since they do not display properly. 

    Please, check the following guide in order to make your form mobile responsive, may be that the form has a template with some CSS style that makes the fields to display like that.

    Do let us know how it goes.

    I have checked your forms and noticed you're using the Matrix Field in some of them, since this field uses an HTML table it is not mobile responsive; however, you could inject the following code in order to allow your users to scroll on the Matrix Table field and fill out all the fields in it: 

    [data-type="control_matrix"] .form-input-wide{

     overflow-x: auto;

    }

    This guide will help you to inject the code: https://www.jotform.com/help/117-How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes 

    I also noticed that some of your forms are cut off at the bottom, please try setting the scrolling property to "yes" on the embedded iFrame: 

          <iframe

            id="JotFormIFrame"

            onDISABLEDload="window.parent.scrollTo(0,0)"

            allowtransparency="true"

            src="https://form.jotform.com/FormID"

            frameborder="0"

            style="width:100%;

            height:4680px;

            border:none;"

            scrolling="yes">

          </iframe>

    The mentioned issue with the name field mentioned above is gone now.

    Thank you so much for your continued assistance!!!
    I’m not a big programmer, so I hope that I did this correct. I copied/pasted the highlighted matrix field and placed it in the CSS code place in my forms and also changed the scrolling feature to “yes”
    Can you check my pages again? Thanks so much!

    Your forms seem to be displaying properly on mobile devices now, the Matrix fields can be filled out and the bottom of all of your forms is showing up. 

    Here's an example about what I can see:

    Compatible with Phone Submissions? Image 1 Screenshot 20

    I can only find that one of the matrix fields is not properly displaying on the form embedded here: https://www.ihsvt.com/pages/client-forms 

    However, injecting this code should fix it: 

    #id_154{

     width: 100% !important;

    }

    Once this is injected, the matrix field will display properly, as shown on my screen-cast above.

    Hi Kevin_G,
    I’m getting more calls regarding my forms now (than I did previously)…
    Is there a way to not have the form “time-out” after a certain amount of time ie: if someone starts doing the form, then walks away, then comes back without having to start all over?

    People are also saying that they are having trouble uploading documents where it has been provided to do so on the form.
