Gravity Form auto scroll down after pressing next

  1. I am currently using gravity form on our website and i made a form with a options and a next button at the end. Everytime I pressed the next button, the form would scroll down a bit instead of staying at the current position before I press next.

    Is this normal?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

    -Tony

  2. I'm not clear what you're talking about when you say "I made a form with a options and a next button at the end" Are you talking about a normal multi-page form or something you've customized?

    The multi-page forms do have an anchor tag that should return you to the top of the next "page" when you hit the next button.

    Kevin,

    How can we edit where the tag (gf_1) is placed on the page? My multi-page form is small enough that it doesn't need to have this functionality of moving to the top of the form. In fact , it's a little distracting.

    I'd rather it move to (stay at) the top of the webpage.

  4. @frey1esm, The anchor is placed automatically and you can't change its position or remove it. The point is that when the user submits the form to continue to the next page, that the next page is the focus in the viewport. That's just good usability.

    If you were on a page with a lot of content above the form and the page refreshed, the form could be out of the viewable area and the person completing it may assume that the form was submitted successfully, when it fact it wasn't.

    You could probably write some custom code or use jQuery to remove it client side if you're set on making it go away.

    Thanks Kevin. It would be useful to have the ability to enable or disable the anchor tag. Consider this a feature request.

    Because at the end of the day, it might be good usability, or it might not!
