Any idea how to do Step 9 when embedding the form in a facebook page?

I’m trying to customise a form so that it carries out some calculations in javascript before it’s submitted.

The calculations work fine but I’m trying to insert their results into the elements which will be submitted. Because of Google’s stupid naming system: entry.1.single which includes full stops in elements I’m not sure what to do.

Can I rewrite this to take the full stops into account?

document.ofrm.entry.3.single.value = dm(eval(TotA));

or can I use the element id to insert the calculated value? or can I change the element name but still get it into the right field in the Google spreadsheet?

Any help greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

All of a sudden my code to take you to a new page is being overridden. It’s worked for weeks previous to this and I didn’t change anything. Anybody know of any google updates that might have caused this?

I really want my submit button to work like this http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/05/customize-google-docs-forms.html

I want it to stay on the page, but I’ve had some difficulty. Here is my code so far:

var submitted=false;

This is how I got around it using jQuery and a hidden iframe. Just place the iframe somewhere in your document (i did just under the body tag) and stick the javascript at the bottom. It basically adds the attributes to the form as in the original and processes the whole thing with jquery. I used this in a wordpress setup an the form itself is pulled out from the_content() so I needed to add the attr’s at runtime….

Add into body somewhere:

[code][/code]

Add this jquery at the bottom:

[code]
jQuery(document).ready(function($){

var submitted = false;
$('#ss-form').attr({
target: function(){ return 'hidden_target'; },
onSubmit: function(){ return 'submitted=true'; }
});

});
[/code]

Hi, does anybody know how to implement this in forms with several pages?

When I hit the “Next Page” button, it redirects me to the “Thanks for completing our survey” page, instead of the next page.

Thanks!

Just a head’s up you have a broken link at the bottom of this webpage for the update:

Link text: Google Forms Update
LINK: http://www.morningcopy.com.au/google-forms-update/

Error message: Oops, this page is missing!

It says around the link: Has your Google Form stopped working because of updates to the Google Forms source code? Check out our Google Forms Update post and find out how to fix this issue in seconds.

Question: Is this info still needed and it that why the link breaks OR do I still need this info to make this all work with Google’s current updates?

Thanks
