How to store text from field with Google Tag Manager on a form submission - forms

I'm trying to catch email address as a variable with Google Tag Manager (GTM) on signup form submit on http://cloud.feedgee.com/ru/signup and fire a tag with it. On submit, the page is being reloaded.
By now tried to catch it with Form submission by form id set as shown on screenshot) and a Button click as a Custom event with it's click id
I initiated a DOM element variable with Id of the Form text field (Element Id=ContentPlace_loginEmail)
With these settings in Preview mode on Form Submit, I can not see my Tag in "Tags Fired On This Page" row before page reload.
What can be the reasons for this if Id's of the elements are correct?
May it depend on the container script location on the page?
Now It's located right after the HTML tag.
Can I store form text field in a DOM variable to use it in the tag?

If you want to store the email value in your own API, Google Tag Manager is not the right tool for you. You should only use it to track events that fit under Google's terms of use.
Having said that, when you're working with forms in GTM, hold the <shift> key with you click the submit button. If you do that, a new tab will open up, but the current page wont get redirected or refresh. You'll then be able to see what data is being pushed to the dataLayer.

How to access input field in TinyMCE 5 URL dialog

I'm porting a TinyMCE 3 installation to version 5. I set up a toolbar button that opens a dialog that contains a custom page and is therefore loaded using the new windowManager.openUrl method. I have some footer buttons, too, and, of course, an onAction( dialogApi, details ) handler that is invoked when a button is clicked. details.name contains the name of the button that was clicked so I can react on every click individually.
It seems, when a regular dialog is used, I configure every input field in my plugin.js file and retrieve its value through the getData method of first param that in passed into my onAction handler. This method does not exist in my dialogApi for the URL dialog.
My iframe/dialog contains a dropdown and I want to insert the selected value into the editor instance when a dialog footer button is clicked. I understand I can use postMessage to send information from the iframe to the plugin but that's not what I want.
How can I access input fields in the dialog, when a button is clicked and my dialog was opened through openUrl? How do I access the document in the dialog's iframe? this seems to be the JavaScript object I passed into openUrl. document is the page where the editor is embedded.
I've made a demo that shows two different ways of getting the data from user inputs in an iframe dialog:
https://codesandbox.io/embed/tinymce-dialog-openurl-demo-fpfew
This blog post is also an excellent resource for working with iframe dialogs in TinyMCE:
https://www.martyfriedel.com/blog/tinymce-5-url-dialog-component-and-window-messaging
The first method in my demo uses a button in the HTML of the iframe itself. That button collects user data and uses postMessage to send that data back to the TinyMCE editor.
As you can see, the process is a little more complex using the footer buttons as opposed to the "in iframe" button. Essentially, the footer button sends a message to the iframe in the dialog asking the iframe to collect and insert user data into TinyMCE.
When using an iframe, you have to respect the browser security policy, so most times you can't interact with an iframe directly (the exception being if the iframe uses the same domain). Here's some more information about iframe security policy:
https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/67889/why-do-browsers-enforce-the-same-origin-security-policy-on-iframes
This also means that TinyMCE has no way of knowing what's inside the iframe like it does with a TinyMCE dialog, so the data needs to be fetched "manually". With that in mind, if it's a cross origin request (different domain) there's no way to access the iframe content without using postMessage.
The getData method mentioned works with TinyMCE dialogs because everything in the dialog is a TinyMCE component. TinyMCE components have a custom concept of values/states that getData can access to return data.
When you use a URL dialog, the dialog no longer uses TinyMCE components so it isn't able to collect the data for getData, hence it the method doesn't exist. That's why you have to manually get the data needed from whatever elements are in the URL dialog, and send them back to TinyMCE using postMessage.

Track form conversions confirmation page URL is the same as the form

I'm trying to track form completions on a page where the form's URL is the same as the confirmation page.
Form Page
Does anybody know if this can be done with Google Tag Manager/Google Analytics please?
Completion page
Simply tracking clicks of the Submit button will result in false positives because sometimes people will not type the security code correctly.
Is there a tracking code of some sort that can be added to the confirmation page, so that each time it loads the count goes up one?
I'm grateful of any help you can provide.
Thanks!
You can use the built-in visibility trigger - e.g. as soon as a link element with the link back to the homepage becomes visible you let the trigger fire. Specifics depend on the CSS id or class for that link (if any, else you'd have to test the click text).
In the visibility trigger you might have to enable "listen for DOM changes" if the confirmation message is loaded per Ajax (as opposed to just have their CSS display property set to 'none'.

How to avoid displaying newsletter form if it is submitted or close once?

I am using mautic form.
I have added form code in my header script and this script always run on every page so how can I avoid to display that form if user close form or he has submitted it before.
Paste the script to the content of your page where you want the form to display. That way it will appear only on the page you want it to show up and on the place you want it to show up.
If you want to display another content after the form submission, configure the after submit redirect URL in the form's configuration.

Append Form text field value alone in the url

I am trying to create a sample Online shopping application using SPRING+REST. I have a 1000 of products and I would like to make use of #RequestMapping("watches/{id}") annotation . But i dont know how to send the id form field value alone while submitting a form in jsp.
I want something like this
www.example.com/watches/1001
Please help me out
I guess you will have some jsp page which consists of all watches. This web page can be access by localhost:8080/watches URL.
If user click on any watches, user will land to localhost:8080/watches/{watch-id} page as the click on watch will redirect the request.
If your JSP is form based page, then user need to enter the watch-id ( or watch name which we need to map to watch id) and click on submit button will redirect the request to localhost:8080/watches/{watch-id}. Please let me know if you are ok with this.

How do I make a link that pre-fills a form checkbox?

I have a page called contact.htm with a working form. One of the checkbox fields on the form is named Garden (so either it is checked or not when using the form).
I have another page that I want to link to my form page, so that if a user clicks a particular link, they are sent to the form page and the field Garden is pre-clicked.
I have not been able to do this though I have tried several methods...such as:
a href="contact.htm?checkbox=Garden,on" or
a href="contact.htm?checkbox=Garden,checked" or
a href="contact.htm?input type="checkbox" name="Garden" value="checked", and some others.
I would appreciate any help.
You'll need to use JavaScript on the target webpage to process the argument and fill the values in. There is no automatic way of doing this just by URL.
This link shows how to retrieve URL arguments from JavaScript. From there, it's a matter of using standard JavaScript or JQuery to fill the values in.
