My embedded form is not showing in Chrome - any fixes?

    We have a page at http://www.hrotoday.com/advertise-with-us/ that has an embedded Jotform on it.  When some people try to open it with Chrome as the browser, the copy on the page will show but the embedded Jotform does not.  Any fixes?

    I checked the website you shared with us and I can see the form embedded in it.

    Perhaps you were able to fix the issue on your end? Otherwise, can you try clearing your browser's cache and see if that would fix the issue you are having? — http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/

    Thanks, Mike!  I'll ask them to try clearing the cache in the Chrome browser.  The embedded form does work in other browsers.  For Chrome, one person is running Chrome on a small Lenovo laptop, and the other is running Chrome on a Chromebook.  In both cases, the embedded form is not showing on their screen, but it does show if they click the direct link to open the form in its own window (non-embedded form).  That might tell us there's an issue somehow with the embedding part?  Are there any known Chrome issues related to viewing and loading an embedded Jotform on a page?

    Here's the code on the back-end of the page that shows the embedded Jotform on the last line of code:

    There were no other reported issues regarding embedded form not working on Google Chrome.

    Also, if I'm understanding it correctly, the issue is only happening on those two devices you mentioned, correct? Can you check if the version of Google Chrome on those two devices is up to date?

    You may also try updating the embed script from:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://form.jotform.us/jsform/72296214699165"></script>

    To:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.jotform.com/jsform/72296214699165"></script>

    and see if that would make any difference. If not, you may try embedding your form using its iFrame Embed Code — Getting-the-Form-iFrame-Code

     Thanks, Mike.  The Chrome browsers are up to date.  We'll try the two coding options next.  Thanks.  -Scott

    Usually, embedding the form using the iframe method fixes these kinds of problems.
