Language selector dropdown list is not functioning on first page load.

    Hi Jotform!

    I have added several language translations for a CD order form, unfortunately the first time the page is loaded, the language dropdown list is unresponsive. It does not display the current displayed language after a second or so, and nothing happens upon clicking it (the dropdown list does not appear).

    After refreshing the page several times the dropdown list is functioning correctly, and continues working from then on. Obviously we need it to work properly at the time of first loading as our foreign customers may assume it is broken, and perhaps not think to refresh the page several times to get it working.

    nb. The form was a clone of the original which has been edited further. I noticed you are having some problems with cloned forms - perhaps that is the issue here? Also, I have tried the Opera, Chrome, Firefox and Safari browsers, and each browser has the same problem. 

    Do you have any ideas as to what could be causing it? 

    Many Thanks...!

    I was also able to reproduced the mentioned issue.

    On the first time I opened the website, the language tool option is not working. The language dropdown option is not interactive. I had to Refresh the page at least 2x, before it loads properly.

    Can you please try also re-embedding the form to the website, but this time use its Iframe embed code instead.

    Then test load again the website. Check if this makes any difference.

    Let us know if still not resolved.

    Thanks.

    Ah, brilliant - that's fixed it! Many thanks.

    Can I add a suggestion - it wasn't obvious when adding the languages that we would be unable to change the order in which they are displayed in the drop-down list afterwards (I can't see a way to do this? Changing the default language doesn't seem to affect the ordering after changing it back again). It would be good to be able to set up a more logical order for the drop-down list!

    Thanks again!

    I have moved your suggestion to a new thread so that we can raise it to our developers.

    I have first tried to see if it was possible by some chance, but nothing I tried seemed to change the order in the dropdown so we will raise it as a possible feature.
