Hello
I've deleted all the entries from all my submission forms. During the testing phase of my latest form, every time I complete the form using the "Fill Form" option, or click onto the form link I get this response "Sorry! Only one entry is allowed."
Please advise how to correct this issue.
Many thanks
I have a unique question in my form. Where do I find the "Sorry! Only one entry is allowed." message? It's not listed under Form Warnings, and I need to change it to say "Sorry! That email address is already registered. Please try again using a different email." Otherwise they won't know why they can't submit their form.
Hi-- I am not seeing this message when using the form to upload a video file... instead, it just looks like nothing is happening for a minute, then I get the Thank You screen. I have put caution instructions to Wait next to the submit button, but it would be awesome if this warning happened once the submit button is clicked.
Hi there,
How do I turn off the "Sorry! Only one entry is allowed. Multiple submissions are disabled for this form."?
Thanks heaps
Help me please
Is there a way to create a custom condition that produces a warning message but at the end of the form before the submit button? For example, we have a form that has the ability to enter info for 3 people on it. If they enter something for person 1 incorrectly can we then trigger the conditional response of you need to adjust this but have it show up by the submit button? The purpose would be that all error messages would populate in one area rather than having to scroll through the full form looking for the error. Which Jotform may not consider an error but rather just a condition that has been triggered due to the users choice.
"Start" is not on the warnings list.
How do you turn off the highlight that displays when someone doesn't fill a field? I want the "This field is required" but not the big ugly highlight box around it. I turned off Highlights but that only turns off the ugly box when the focus is on a specific field.
Hi,
there is no option to change this WARNING MESSAGE
"There are incomplete required fields. Please complete them"
I have a CARD FORM, maybe in this format is not available?
thanks!
Is there any way to insert html into my custom warning messages?
I want to make my error message for duplicate entries display a list of options for the user below, in a "UL" element. When I enter the tags, they are sanitized out. So far, I've succeeded by replacing the opening bracket of the tags with an "lt" character reference, but whenever I want to change the message, I have to re-enter them.
I don't want hints provided to the user as to what a valid entry is. Can I remove the validation warnings on my forms?
Scratch that : I used these videos and it worked a charm!

Hi, how do I change the font colour in form warnings? Thank you.
Fixed in IE9 via using iframe embed code, still not working in IE8 but that's ok. Thanks!
The form in my account is titled: "List Your Dress".
A live version of the form on our site can be found here:
Hello,
I can't seem to get this to work on IE8 or IE9, is there any known browser compatibility issues? The form looks great on Chrome, FF, etc. But in IE some of the formatting up the upload button is off, and the upload button itself doesn't work at all (dead click behavior). Any help here?
Thanks!
Is it possible to translate other warnings, like "You are not permitted to submit form twice"?
Also, I get a thank you message after submission, that isn't the same as the one I set up. Where do I edit that from?
Thank you

This option is unfortunately not working when connected to the PHP code, the style of the tpl files, eg in the case of phpBB2. As far as the html works fine. A site admin can enter edit these lines from the edit forms. It would be very nice if everyone could afford the user can edit this option. Or perhaps it is accessible to paid accounts? Can I ask you to answer?

You will need to check whether your site supports Javascript. wordpress.com doesn't support it for example.
I tried doing the way you explain here with one of my forms but after copy de changed html code to my web site, it works with errors and does not display an alert if the field is required field.
I see you can do the translation if I indicate the language. is this correct?
Thanks for the french translation ;-)

How can we make it so that you can like? What is the problematic issue in user manuals?
Sorry, I never liked your user manual..
Is there a way to do this using the lightbox integration?
