Can questions have dynamic text? I don't want fields to be pre-populated, but rather want "referrer" above to customized. If this can be done, how do I do it?
I integrated this form with Mailchimp and I am trying to see how I can add tracking on my Mailchimp side to show that the subscriber came from Jotform. I set up the integration and tested but when I go to see the subscriber It says it came from API Generic. I tested the above Todo and it didn't function properly.
This is my IFRAME CODE: Where do I add this code? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] or maybe I am missing a step?
window.handleIFrameMessage = function(e) {var args = e.data.split(":");var iframe = document.getElementById("JotFormIFrame");if (!iframe)return;switch (args[0]) {case "scrollIntoView":iframe.scrollIntoView();break;case "setHeight":iframe.style.height = args[1] + "px";break;case "collapseErrorPage":if (iframe.clientHeight > window.innerHeight) {iframe.style.height = window.innerHeight + "px";}break;case "reloadPage":window.location.reload();break;}};if (window.addEventListener) {window.addEventListener("message", handleIFrameMessage, false);} else if (window.attachEvent) {window.attachEvent("onmessage", handleIFrameMessage);}
