Sorry, I think the comment form stripped out the HTML tag from the last line of your comment. Did you mean HEAD section?

Howdy, there’s a strong chance that I’m being dense here but when I view the source on this form:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGJjNFZfRFlxOXh2WDRaZkJnOF9jWVE6MQ

I don’t get a section. Am I making a really basic error?

Can you post what your solution was? I’m having the same problem on a couple forms.

Great tutorial,

Just a quick question, is there a way to use this with rules set for a form question (for example, if someone ticks the ‘yes’ box it goes to page 3 otherwise if they tick ‘no’ it goes to page 2). Is this possible?

Thanks! :)

Nice and useful. Perhaps an useful addition. Try FireBug with this, since you can easily customize the form “live”.

Glad our tutorial was useful! I had a quick look at the form on your site. The featured video and navigation buttons all use javascript. I think the issue you're seeing in IE is caused by a conflict between all those js elements. Best of luck with IE debugging. If you need a hand, please drop us a line!

Hey Dillon!

Thanks so much for this form. It has proven super useful for us. I am only stumped by one problem that has been bugging me for about a week now and it is only in IE (go figure!).

When someone completes the form in IE, if any field was not filled in correctly and the validation message appears for the user to correct their mistake, once the form is submitted and validation is passed IE throws error:

“Line: 80
Error: Can’t move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus.”

If it is ignored the form still submits and the redirect works fine, but I want to get rid of the error message.. Any thoughts? I could really use some help here.

Cheers!

Great info. I feel like we have so much in common. I’ve recently discovered twitter so I’m just learning how to use it on my new iPhone. I see you have been following my sister already on twitter so clicked through your link to your blog about Cafe Sydney. What an experience!!! So jealous! Cafe Sydney is one of my favourite restaurants here. Then I read about you on the Internet Chef’s blog. Can’t seem to escape you…..haha But it’s all been positive. I look forward to your new blog about pregnancy and creating organic food for your baby.
Best wishes

Hi, I just don’t see the share button.

By the way, I have successfully redirect the form to another page.

However, it doesn’t seem that this form does not add to the Spreadsheet or invoke the script I wrote. – which sends an email to the person administering the site.

Here is the url:

Thank you for your time. John.

Dillon – Thanks so much!! I’ve created a custom WordPress template and just dropped all my code in there (instead of the ‘loop’ area) and it works like a charm.

I was so frustrated not being able to use the custom redirect technique (ala iframe) in WordPress.
