Form open in front of user?

Get Help
1

I have a LONG page of downloads. They are locked with the Downloads Monitor GF lock extension. When a user clicks on a download, the GF opens up to get name and email. BUT it’s not obvious because the form opens up near the top. Is there a way to get the form to open up in front of the user?

Alternatively is there a better way to do this?

Thanks for help - I can’t tell if this is easy-peasy or not.

Haven’t worked with Downloads Monitor for a few years so I’m not sure whether adding an ID to the download-link would be possible (ie. #gform_wrapper_{formid} ). If it is, I’d try using that and see if it works the way you want.

Another option would be to have jQuery on those form-pages and have them scroll automatically to the form (like a visual scroll).

You could use AJAX too (to get the contents of the form of that other page inside a popover or something). But that would require more work than the other two options.

So yes, it is possible :slight_smile:

Option 1 is not possible I think.

jQuery is a new wrinkle and despite googling for a bit have not found info on how to implement your second option. Help?

Never mind I’m building a work around.

Let us know what you come up with. Thank you.

I’d use something along these lines for the scrolling effect (the code should be included on the form-pages):

<script>
    jQuery(document).ready(function ($){
        $('html, body').animate({
                scrollTop: $('.entry-content').offset().top
            }, 2000);
        });
    });
</script>

And what do you mean by “form pages”?

The pages that the actual forms are on :slight_smile:

I gave it a college-try - I’m not a coder, just another reasonably savvy solopreneur who learns as I go.

My workaround? Making sure that the form opens up at the top of the page so that the user sees it right away. Simple. Hope it’s effective.

There’s never merely one way to accomplish what we want. In my opinion that’s the beauty of webdevelopment/-designing :slight_smile:
