    Is it possible to have an email field on the header of a website, then when the user enters their email and hits "go" it take them to another page with additional fields and their email already populated in the email field?

    You would set-up two forms for this, one with just the e-mail field, and then the redirect on submission would go to your second form with the e-mail address in a query string, and the e-mail field settings on the second form would be set to look for that query string (it is in the settings for the field).

    So I just got the developers license but I'm having trouble understanding this.

    I have an email field in the header with a submit button that redirects to a form page with additional fields.

    I have the header email field set to "allow field to be populated dynamically" with a parameter name of "email_address".

    I've appended "/?email_address=value" to the end of the redirect URL.

    After entering an email address and hitting submit, it redirects but populates the field with "value", not the actual email address.

    I know, this is stupid but I'm not sure how bring in the actual value of the field.

    This should not be so confusing. I can't understand why I can't figure this out.

    In your form settings, under confirmation, you'll want to set a redirect to the other form, and then add in the query string and the merge tag for the fields you want to pull values from. There should be a dropdown to add merge tags to make this part easy.

    Then when a user submits a form, instead of giving a message, it will go to the URL you've set, and include the query string and the value from the field.

    On the second form, you'll want the allow dynamic population to be checked and the value to be the same as the value you set in the query string.
