Do you have a way to capture the form POST as it's being sent to the form?</p> <p>If you use a text field instead of an email field, can you look at the email address that's being saved in the form entry, to see if there is some sort of character translation or something? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/email-is-invalid-on-android-tablet#post-37753 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 18:18:20 +0000 carbgf 37753@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Chris</p> <p>I tried your form here: <a href="http://gravity.chrishajer.com/event-registration/" rel="nofollow">http://gravity.chrishajer.com/event-registration/</a></p> <p>Guess what: you have the same problem!

Still doesn't like the email.</p> <p>Do you have or know of a gravity form set up somewhere that I can try and fill in from my Samsung Galaxy tablet? That could show whether its all gravity forms or just my site. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/email-is-invalid-on-android-tablet#post-37634 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 18:08:51 +0000 Carl Hancock 37634@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>No ideas. These are standard forms. With HTML 5 output enabled the input type of the email input is set to email. We aren't doing anything unusual. I can't replicate this issue on the major browsers, nor can I replicate the issue on my iPhone or iPad. It sounds like there is a bug with the Samsung Galaxy browser.</p> <p>Does the form work properly every time when Previewing the form in the admin and submitting it from there? Try that with your Samsung Galaxy. If it submits fine then it's possible there is some sort of CSS in your Headway site that the Galaxy doesn't like that is triggering some sort of browser bug.</p> <p>We don't own or use Android tablets so I can't test this myself. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/email-is-invalid-on-android-tablet#post-37632 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 18:03:28 +0000 carbgf 37632@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>HTML5 was off. </p> <p>I tried turning it on. Didn't help - still tells me "there was a problem with your submission". The error is the email address is still seen as invalid!</p> <p>Any other ideas? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/email-is-invalid-on-android-tablet#post-37627 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:56:08 +0000 Carl Hancock 37627@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Do you have HTML5 output turned on? To check go to the Settings page of Gravity Forms (Forms &gt; Settings). If you do, try turning this off and then test. If you don't, try turning this on and then test. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/email-is-invalid-on-android-tablet#post-37624 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:50:08 +0000 carbgf 37624@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have 2 gravity forms on my website - a contact us form and a paypal form.<br /> Both work fine on my PC, but when I go to my site on a Samsung Galaxy tablet, both forms often reject the user's email. (Often but not always!).</p> <p>As a test, I made the email not required. Then, if I leave the email blank, the form is accepted. But if I enter any email address, it tells me that the email is invalid, even although I marked it as not required.</p> <p>I am using the latest Wordpress and the Headway theme.</p> <p>Any ideas? </p>
