You are returned to the form and the thank-you page is NOT displayed.</p> <p>If, OTOH, you blank out the field, it saves just fine. If you enter data into the field and keep the http://, it doesn't save either. I'm just about to test things be using a "regular" text field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/advanced-field-website-question#post-35138 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 04:00:05 +0000 Chris Hajer 35138@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I think I would ask them why a form submission with http:// (or <a href="https://)" rel="nofollow">https://)</a> in the content would fail, but without it the form submission succeeds.</p> <p>I hope to get it resolved soon too. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/advanced-field-website-question#post-35122 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 21:00:54 +0000 RoseCaplan 35122@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you for your response, Chris.</p> <blockquote><p>You: The information in the submitted form is making it into the entries, but there is no confirmation message shown? That's the bottom line at this point?</p></blockquote> <p>Me: No that's not it. The bottom line is that if there is an entry in the website, linked in or twitter fields the form does not submit.</p> <blockquote><p>You: I tried submitting the form with no data entered, and there was no validation failure message. Should there have been? It looks like there are 4 required fields there, but submitting the form did not show any validation failures.</p></blockquote> <p>Me: The reason the you didn't receive validation failure is because the website, linked in and twitter fields are prepopulated with info...if you delete that info and then submit without anything you will receive validation error for required fields. In other words the validation failure works on the required field if the website, linked in and twitter fields are not filled in at all.</p> <blockquote><p>You: When I delete all the website fields, and submit with no data entered, the form comes back with validation errors. It's like something on the server is discarding the request when there is a link in the POST submission. Maybe overly aggressive mod_security or other security module for Apache?</p></blockquote> <p>Me. Yes, that is correct. What exactly do I need to discuss with my host. I am using West Host. I am hoping to get this resolved soon.

Any suggestions? Thanks! </p>
