    Hi there,

    It seems that my form can still be submitted despite having required fields: https://form.jotformeu.com/202865015364352

    Would you be able to look into this and let me know how to fix this?

    Thanks,

    Vanessa

    Hi Vanessa, thank you for confirming with us.

    Hi Vanessa, thank you for the wait.

    Upon investigation, this might be due because you placed your submit button on the first page. Please kindly try to move your submit button on the second/last page. The errors should return when the user doesn't enter anything in the required fields.

    Hi Jessica,
    Thanks for your help.
    When I move the submit button to the next page, the form is unable to be
    submitted: https://form.jotform.com/202865015364352
    Thanks,
    Vanessa

    I'll be checking this and get back to you. I think it's the styling of the form that's causing the problem.

    I'm sorry, but I see the page break was updated to work with some scripts, so hiding it with custom CSS works, but cannot be submitted until the page break buttons are clicked.

    I see two options here as your workaround:

    1. To remove the page break and have both form and image sections in two columns, like this https://form.jotform.com/203557300111944.

    2. To add "?jumpToPage=2" at the form URL so it will move to Page 2 automatically. So, the form URL would be published as https://www.jotform.com/203556444782966?jumpToPage=2.

    Hi there,
    Thanks so much for your help!
    I'm assuming the second option (adding ?jumpToPage=2) would work by adding
    the same to the src URL?
    Thanks again,
    Vanessa

    Hi there,
    Would it be possible to allow me to clone that form? I've made some changes
    and it appears to look different so I was wondering if I can clone the
    version that you copied? i.e. the one from this link:
    https://www.jotform.com/203556444782966
    Thank you!
    Vanessa

    Hi Welvin,
    Sorry for the multiple messages — when I try to do that for my version, the
    first page info seems to disappear:
    https://form.jotformeu.com/202865015364352?jumpToPage=2
    Thanks,
    Vanessa

    Hello Vanessa,

    I think it's the custom CSS codes. I can point out which one I did here, but I have copied the codes from my form to yours. It works now.

    https://form.jotformeu.com/202865015364352?jumpToPage=2

    Thanks

    I'm sorry, I forgot to answer your previous question. Yes, the SCR value will work with the parameter. I would suggest using the iframe embed when embedding the form.
