Within my logic, I used the wp_footer hook to print a little javascript to scroll down to the bottom of the page, and show the form.</p> <p>So here is the entirety of my solution, all in the functions file without touching the template:</p> <pre><code>if ( $_POST[ &#39;is_submit_1&#39; ] == true ) : add_action( &#39;wp_footer&#39;, function() { ?&gt; &lt;script&gt; $(&#39;html, body&#39;).animate({scrollTop:$(document).height()}, &#39;slow&#39;); $( &#39;.contact_form&#39; ).toggle( &#39;slow&#39; ); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;?php }, 99999); endif;</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/show-validation-message-in-template-for-hidden-forms#post-83001 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:53:16 +0000 jeffsebring 83001@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a form that is hidden on page load, but displayed on a click event using javascript.</p> <p>This is problematic when validation errors occur, as the form is hidden again after the failed submission.</p> <p>Is there a way I can easily check if there is an error, and display a message in my template? </p>
