Can you tell me what all the settings are on your Minify page for each section and the General page (some minify settings are there too) so I can get mine set the exact same way as yours? I have never used this plugin before so please include any other settings that may be useful. Can you also tell me what version of Gravity Forms and browser you are using?</p> <p>There have been some recent releases of Gravity Forms, so it is best to install the latest in case we have fixed something along the way.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/w3tcs-html-minify-causing-ajax-issues#post-51038 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 14:10:45 +0000 DJosephDesign 51038@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm having trouble with the AJAX options on Gravity Forms. When I have AJAX enabled for submissions (nothing fancy on the form), the form submits, browser tab loads, but the AJAX icon keeps spinning and the thank-you message never shows.</p> <p>I traced this to W3 Total Cache's Minify settings. Oddly, I can leave Javascript and CSS as minifying, but simply disabling <em>only</em> "HTML &amp; XML" minification makes the AJAX work.</p> <p>I can disable or enable:<br /> Inline CSS minification<br /> Inline JS minification<br /> Don't minify feeds<br /> Line break removal<br /> … but none of these affect it. Only the option just above these, "Enable" for the HTML minify settings, will break the AJAX.</p> <p>Ignored comment stems is set to:<br /> google_ad_<br /> RSPEAK_</p> <p>I've even compared the rendered source between HTML-minified and non-minifed between cache refreshes and there's no difference beside only the basic minifications like:</p> <p>&lt;/script&gt;<br /> &lt;div …</p> <p>to:</p> <p>&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div …</p> <p>I've read through the other posts here and can't find anything that will help. I have database cache configured correctly. It's only this HTML minification that breaks the AJAX.</p> <p>Thank you in advance for your help. </p>
