    I believe it is not possible as they state to be possible to add a HTML form, and jotforms include Javascript even when using using the source code publishing option:

    https://www.jotform.com/help/104-How-to-get-the-Full-Source-Code-of-your-Form 

    " Create the form using HTML and the supported CSS, and be sure to only use fields from the list of permitted form fields below."

    Probably the best form is to include a link to the actual form inside the add.

    Let us know if we can assist you further.

    I guess the question is whether the JS in the embed code is absolutely
    necessary. Does it validate the form somehow? Or is it doing something else?
    Thanks for the quick response!

    Hi Darren,

    I am not sure I fully understand your last question. Please reiterate as well and we will check.

    Also just in case you were referring to the source code javascripts, the form uses javascript for many of its code functions including validations. So it requires javascript. 

    My understaning is, you wanted to use the form's full source code embed.

    Thanks.
