Oh well. Kevin, I appreciate your help -- very much. Thanks!

I think there's some sort of issue using the GET method with the parameters in the action link as well. It works as a POST because you're hard-coding parameters in the form action that still get passed like a GET SoundsGood on "Dynamically pass data from static form to GravityForm ??" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-pass-data-from-static-form-to-gravityform#post-7413 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 17:43:28 +0000 SoundsGood 7413@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Hmmm... well, the form code is in my original post. See anything funky in there? Oh, and again -- the info *DOES* pass correctly if the form is changed to POST, so it can't be *too* odd, right?

All it needs are the variables to be passed correctly via the querystring and for the form fields set correctly to receive them. There's something odd about your form that's apparently not passing the information correctly.

So... is there any way to make GravityForms accept the data from GET instead of POST ? Thanks.

Whoever wrote the code on the other form used: method="get" ... Which does NOT work. But if I switch it to: method="post" ... it DOES work. Now I gotta work on getting it switched over permanently. Anyway, thanks for your help, Kevin! :) SoundsGood on "Dynamically pass data from static form to GravityForm ??" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-pass-data-from-static-form-to-gravityform#post-7376 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 20:51:50 +0000 SoundsGood 7376@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Hmm... it's not working. It DOES work if it's just a regular link, like so: <a href="http://www.website.com/page?sid=1234&appname=JoeBlow" rel="nofollow">Contact Us</a> But NOT if it's in a form (<form action>) as shown in the original post. Any thoughts?

Click on the advanced tab for the field, check the "Allow field to be populated dynamically" field, then specify the name of the parameter it should receive. <a href="http://grab.by/grabs/bb53bd7ec420398d3b180ac2f1acdaed.png" rel="nofollow">screenshot</a> That's it.

Here's what the "form action" code looks like on the static page: <pre><code><form action="http://www.website.com/page?sid=1234&appname=JoeBlow" method="get"> <input type="hidden" name="sid" value="1234" /> <input type ="submit" name="contactme" value="more information &raquo;" class="btn es-noprint" /> <input type ="submit" name="contactme" value="book it &raquo;" class="btn es-noprint" /> </form></code></pre> Basically, when someone clicks on the contactme Submit button, I want to pass the "appname=JoeBlow" info into a field within the GravityForms form. Specifically, I need "JoeBlow" to be dynamically inserted in a field in a GravityForms form. Can this be done? If so, how? Thanks!
