I am using a simple form that was taken from one of the Netlify related docs:
<form name="contact" action="/" method="post" data-netlify="true">
<div className="field">
<label htmlFor="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="dave"/>
</div>
<div className="field">
<label htmlFor="email">Email</label>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="email#email.com" />
</div>
<div className="field">
<label htmlFor="message">Message</label>
<textarea name="message" id="message" rows="6"></textarea>
</div>
<input type="submit" value="Send Message" className="" />
</form>
In using gatsby develop and working with/submitting the form, things seem to work fine. I get no errors and get redirected to the home page as expected.
After deploying the site with Netlify and trying to submit the form, I get the following page error:
In my Netlify backend, the form appears in the console but I cannot/do not receive submissions.
I am using a barebones gatsby-config.js, only incorporating gatsby-source-wordpress and gatsby-plugin-google-analytics.
I also tried adding /no-cache=1 to form action.
Can anybody advise?
It might also be worth noting that I have coded my form as a component and am importing it into my footer as such. In that way, it may be imported multiple times on different pages as mentioned in point 3 of this StackOverflow answer.
Thanks.
I learned that because I'm using Gatsbyjs, and Gatsby + Netlify = javascript forms, I needed to add another input type="hidden" to my form:
<form name="my-form" ... >
<input type="hidden" name="form-name" value="my-form" />
The documentation for this wasn't immediately clear but below are some links that address this:
Here's a link to an article that pointed me to the answer: How to
Integrate Netlify’s Form Handling in a React App
Here's another one if you're building in Vue: How to Integrate
Netlify Forms in a Vue App
And all about Netlify Forms
If you are using any redirect method then you have to add _redirects file in your root folder and add paths to it so that redirect can work.
It's may be confusing but you can visit this link for more help.

I would like to store the contact us form data in my google form. I have created contact us form in my webpage and copied the google form link in my form link. Kindly tell the steps to make the form work
Here the code that I have written
<div class="form-group">
<form action="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSedlnzPGGIwjq_C3W0KCev-WexWs6SFdf7nk0sWT3v2wP6fA/viewform?usp=sf_link" class="comment-form contact-form" novalidate="novalidate">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Name" name="name">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Mail Address" name="email">
<textarea name="message" class="form-control" placeholder="Comment"></textarea>
<button type="submit" class="contact-us thm-btn"><span>Post Now</span></button>
</form>
My google form link is placed n the action which is https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSedlnzPGGIwjq_C3W0KCev-WexWs6SF-df7nk0sWT3v2wP6fA/viewform?usp=sf_link
The google form data is accessible via google sheets.
You also have the ability to create a trigger that will do something with the data when the form is posted, more information on this can be found at.

We implemented a simple nuxt app with a basic form and deployed it to netlify.
When pressing the "Submit" Button of the Form, we receive a 404.
Here you can find the link to the deployed netlify app:
EDIT -> Removed Link
After looking through the troubleshoot guide, they listed that the added "netlify" or "data-netlify="true" attributes should not be visible if netlify recognized your form, but they are.
Plus the form can't be found in the "form" configuration tab of the netlify backend.
Nuxt config:
SPA
Tailwind
We tried to add the necessary attributes for netlify:
netlify or
data-netlify="true" & netlify-honeypot="bot-field"
We also added a "pre-render" library called prerender-spa-plugin.
Here you can find the contact.vue page content.
Simple form with "name" attributes set according to netlify documentation.
<template>
<div>
<form name="contact" method="POST" data-netlify="true" netlify-honeypot="bot-field">
<p class="hidden">
<label
>Don’t fill this out if you're human: <input name="bot-field"
/></label>
</p>
<p>
<label
>Name
<input
type="text"
name="name"
class="appearance-none block w-full bg-gray-200 text-gray-700 border border-gray-200 rounded py-3 px-4 mb-3 leading-tight focus:outline-none focus:bg-white;"

It would be great if we can manage to fix this, so that netlify finally recognizes our form.
Netlify comes with built-in form handling. Our build bots do it by parsing your HTML files directly at deploy time, so there’s no need for you to make an API call or include extra JavaScript on your site.
The form is required to be in the rendered files at deploy time. The problem with SPA mode is that none of your pages are actually rendered as HTML. You can check this by right clicking the page, and clicking "View Page Source". You won't be able to find the form.
Netlify addresses this problem here in their docs.
They have a specific post for fixing this for a Vue app here
A little more digging on the the issue and we find a Nuxt solution here:
Place the following in static/form-dummy/index.html:
<form name="MYFORM" action="/form/success" netlify>
<!-- form controls here -->
</form>
Place the following in pages/form/index.vue (Or whenever you've named your Vue file)
<form name="MYFORM" action="/form/success" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="form-name" value="MYFORM" />
<!-- form controls here -->
</form>
From the post:
You just need to make sure you add that hidden in the Vue component so that Netlify recognises the form submission as associated with the form called MYFORM. I think you also need to ensure all the inputs you want to receive data for are on both forms.
I know mkdocs is meant to be a static site without third-party integrations/forms.
I need to add a newsletter sign-up form to an mkdocs-generated page.
How can I do this? There seems to be 0% information about this online.
MkDocs uses Markdown and Markdown can accept raw HTML and pass it through unaltered. Therefore, include an HTML form in one of your Markdown pages. Perhaps something like this:
Some Markdown text.
<form action="http://someothersite.com/" method="post">
<P>
<label for="name">Name: </label> <input type="text" id="name"><br>
<label for="email">Email: </label> <input type="text" id="email"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</P>
</form>
More Markdown text.
Of course, as MkDocs is a static site, it will not be able to process the submission of the form. Therefore, the form will need to be submitted to some other service and/or script separate from MkDocs. For information on how to submit your form to a separate service, see the answers to Cross Domain Form POSTing.
I'm new to the Ionic framework, and I'm using Ionic 3.
Even though I use a form in my app, I'm still getting this warning in the browser:
[DOM] Password field is not contained in a form:
Why is that, and how can I fix it?
What is it?*
Chromium project (mostly Google Chrome) wants to change the world and make all passwords, as well as all form data autosaved and autofilled by default. The people behind this decision claim that will make the web safer†. While Firefox also promotes autosaved and autofilled form data, Chrome goes further admonishing web developers to comply with form element scoping that's more convenient for the browser.
At the same time, Google Chrome uses heuristics to determine what a "form" is on the web page and doesn't actually need individual form elements to be wrapped in a <form> element.
Additionally, Google Chrome treats all web pages, all forms and all form fields as if they are filled by the end user, where password is user's own password. A use-case where e.g. company administrator fills in new joiner's initial password is not supported.
The shortened URL in the form takes you to Create Amazing Password Forms page the the Chromium projects. Today the text there is very patronising, thus I'll omit the link.
†I neither claim to agree with Chrome/Chromium, nor claim that Google is in the position to profit from autofill via lock-in or access to user data; that's out of scope.
How can I fix it?
Simple: ignore it.
It's only a notice in developer tools in one of the major browsers.
Solution 1:
I think you are using Chrome browser. If you will try on Mozilla, it will not give the error. Please refer to this link for more details:
https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js/issues/165
Here is the example:
<div className="myform" onSubmit={this.validateLogin()}>
<div className="myformgroup">
<label>Email</label>
<input type="text" placeholder="Email" id="email"></input>
</div>
<div className="myformgroup">
<label>Password</label>
<input type="password" placeholder="Enter the Password" id="mypassword" value=""/>
</div>
<div className="myformgroup">
<button type="submit" id="loginButton">Login</button>
</div>
</div>
Is returning the password field is not contained in a form.
Solution 1:
After changing the master div tag to a form as I have in the following:
<form className="myform" onSubmit={this.validateLogin()}>
<div className="myformgroup">
<label>Email</label>
<input type="text" placeholder="Email" id="email"></input>
</div>
<div className="myformgroup">
<label>Password</label>
<input type="password" placeholder="Enter the Password" id="mypassword" value=""/>
</div>
<div className="myformgroup">
<button type="submit" id="loginButton">Login</button>
</div>
</form>
it will not return the warning.
Solution 2:
Install aws-amplify in your project directory as explained in https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js.
I have been developing an application that allows a user to upload files to the server. I had working forms until recently, when suddenly they stopped working.
All the forms that do not work any more are the forms that have the enctype='multipart/form-data'. But the other forms that do not have this works perfectly. I've checked the spelling, and I checked everything.
It generates undefined indexes which really annoys me because it worked before. How can I resolve this?
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploadfile.php">
<input type="file" name="memofile"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Test">
</form>
