Form Settings > Confirmation with URL string?

    I want to use Confirmation Text so that upon a form being submitted, I can output some HTML fields (which I have hidden on the form itself) to the user. For example, if they choose option A, they'll see message A, but it they choose option B, they'll get message B.

    I know how to do all of this, but...

    I also want to take advantage of Google Analytics and know how many people are actually completing the form. To do this, I think I need a URL string. So they start at mywebsite.com/form/ and after they submit the form, they are taken to mywebsite.com/form?string=whatever

    Is that possible?

    Or if not, is there a way to have a redirect page (ie, they start on mywebsite.com/form/ and are redirected via the Settings to mywebsite.com/form/thanks/) show that information as well?

    If there's any more info I can provide, or haven't been clear enough, please let me know!

    On a secondary but still somewhat related note, it would be great if there was a way to know if someone had begun to complete the form, but didn't finish. Nothing too fancy, like I don't need to know the input values of the parts they did finish (though, obviously that would be pretty amazing), but just some type of db entry I could check on or something.

    Regarding your second question, this has been discussed in the past. Here is the latest response from Carl Hancock: http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/any-way-to-submit-data-at-every-page#post-36600

    Regarding your first question. You can put the Google Analytics code on the confirmation page, or put the HTML in the confirmation message text. It's JavaScript, so it won't be displayed. Will that work for you?

    Also, to track the stages of completion, where you're losing people on your form, you can add HTML fields to the form in each page, and put the Google Analytics code there. That way, you can track how many people are dropping out at each step.

    Hi,
    First, love your product.
    Second, can you elaborate a little more on your post about putting Analytics code in an HTML block before each page break. I have the following code and it isn't tracking. Any help would be appreciated.
    <script>jQuery('#gform_1').submit(function() {_gaq.push('_trackEvent', 'my category', 'my action'); });</script>
