If I put the shortcode of a form in the confirmation text of the same form I have a javascript error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
And the form is displayed under the old form insted of replacing it
You can test this on this url (fresh install...)

Try without AJAX and see if it will work for you. I suspect it will.
If you need to use AJAX, you will need to ensure that jQuery is loaded again. You can use the gform_post_render event to enqueue jQuery:

HI,
Of course without Ajax, everything is OK, but I need to use Ajax.
JQuery is already enqueued and loaded in the page, you can see it in the source code of the page on line 48.
It might be an error in the javascript function of gravity forms.
I will take a look a it later too.
Just a question, why using gform_post_render would help loading JQuery? Is JQuery isn't load, the post_render could not work.
I am facing the same issue. You can have a look on this page:
http://beta2.dosomething.gd/reg-test/
We've tried a couple of approaches including the one that you have suggested without any success.
We've discovered the issue on our side. It had to do with a fix previously implemented to get GF to work with BP. It's been removed and it works fine now:

Thank you for that update.
Are you using AJAX with either of the forms? It appears from the BuddyPress forum that AJAX needs to be disabled.

For my part, on the test site, there is no buddypress...
The form appears under the "old" one because of this line (form_display.php:611):
"jQuery('#gform_{$form_id}').append(contents);" .
The script check for "is_redirect" :
"var is_redirect = contents.indexOf('gformRedirect(){') >= 0;".
and then make the content append instead of replacing it like it should, perhaps using this:
"jQuery('#gform_wrapper_{$form_id}').replaceWith(contents);" .
The jQuery error is that jQuery isn't enqueue in the response.
With all this clues, I think your development team should be able to fix the problem
@ghalleb, I will bring this to the attention of the development team for their feedback.
Thanks for all the troubleshooting. I am looking into this and will update this thread when I have a solution.
I'm sorry, we are unable to recreate this problem. Can you provide any other information which might be helpful?
If you would like, we can log in and take a look on your site as well. Please send a WordPress administrator login and FTP login to chris@rocketgenius.com and include a link to this topic so I know what it is in reference to. Thank you.
ghalleb, I sent this information to Alex. Thanks for your patience.
@ghalleb,
It does look like you hit a limitation of Gravity Forms. Including another form in a confirmation of an AJAX form won't work. The solution seems simple at first, but it quickly starts getting messy. I agree this is a disappointing limitation, but I have added it to our todo list as a bug and we will work on getting it resolved. I am not sure when it will be done, but we will get there.

Thanks Alex
I would add another little thing:
I think the form created by the confirmation should be "blank" like the first form. It is not the case right now as it is filled with the data from the previous form. The pre-render data are overwritten with the previous data, and it's a big problem for me.
If you need help, feel free to ask me.
I'll send this back to Alex. Thank you for the follow-up.
I'll bring this back to Alex's attention for an update.
@ghalleb,
To be honest, we haven't started working on this yet, and I can't guarantee when it will be worked on. I understand this is important to you, but it is not considered a critical bug. The only thing I can tell you is that it is in the list as a bug, so it will eventually be worked on.
As I am not sure this will be ready for your current project, I would suggest that you think of a different approach to this problem. If you do need to use the shortcode in the confirmation, you will need to disable AJAX for that form. Maybe use an iframe to achieve the AJAX feel?

Hi Alex,
Thanks for the feedback.
I'm already working on a different approach with my own ajax query as reloading the whole page is clearly not possible for the performance.
But it's more a hack than a real solution. I'll take a look at the iframe solution too.
Can you please keep me inform when you'll start working on it, so I can be ready to start the changes I would need?
Cheers
I'll let Alex know you're looking for help with this one.
We don't have any code, but we do recommend Fancybox (http://fancybox.net) to implement Pop-ups like yours. They do have an iframe option and their website has some examples that should help you get yours setup.
The idea is to create a "blank" page template (without header and footer), and include your Gravity Forms to a page assigned to that page template.
Then use the URL to that page template when setting up your iframe popup. When you do that, your form will feel like an AJAX form, but it will actually do a full refresh and it will get around the limitation with the shortcode in the confirmation.
