I'm trying to embed a 'simple embed' javascript form from Active Campaign on a .NET environment (custom CMS I think). I got several problems:

  • The form styling isn't working
  • When submitting the form, the page refresh, but the submit doesn't work.

I got no Javascript errors in Inspector. When I try to embed this on a Apache environment the form works correctly. That's the workaround I currently made, but it's not scalable and it's not workable on mobile.

I'm not a .NET developer, the website built by another company, but they can't figure out what the problem is. The URL of the environment is: http://hallidays.cmspreview.co.uk/converting-landingpage

The code of the form is:

<div class="_form_8"></div><script src="https://hallidays.activehosted.com/f/embed.php?id=8" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

Hopefully, someone can help me out.

  • I saw that the whole page is between
    and
    . Maybe that's why it doesn't submit the form?     – Mathijs van der Hurk Jan 07 '21 at 07:05
  • *When submitting the form, the page refresh, but the submit doesn't work.*. That is incorrect. The form is posting to `http://hallidays.cmspreview.co.uk/converting-landingpage` as defined in the `form`s `action` attribute and the values are correctly passed as formdata. – Lain Jan 07 '21 at 07:29
  • *The form styling isn't working* How shall we know how the form is actually supposed to be styled? Also you set the `color` of the parent `div` to white and the `color` of the descendant `input` to `inherit`, which kinda makes the text invisible/white as well. – Lain Jan 07 '21 at 07:32
  • See for example the form on http://hallidays.cmspreview.co.uk/form-templates/form-8.html, as it should be this way. So, yes, I agree, the form does submit to the /converting-landingpage, but it's not the URL it should submit to.. Same with styling – Mathijs van der Hurk Jan 07 '21 at 10:08
  • Why arent you just changing the action to the URL it should go to? Also open the console and check the errors you are getting while loading your site. – Lain Jan 07 '21 at 12:25
  • @Lain I'm not the developer of this site, I'm the marketing manager of the agency that has this site as a client. I don't know anything form .NET, only PHP :-). I don't know either why there is a
    in the top of the page, and don't know if we can change it..

  • Talk to your developer... `form` is there because you have a `form` you want to submit. Tell your developer to remove the `runat="server"` from the `form` tag. – Lain Jan 07 '21 at 12:54
