    I'm working on a project that has a Gravity Forms form on the website. But we're creating a Facebook page that will have the same form on it and would like to post the form from Facebook to Gravity Forms on the website.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks.

    I am not familiar with how Facebook pages are created as I have never done it. If you can use an iframe you could iframe in a form. Create a blank page template, embed the form on a page that uses that template and then iframe it into your Facebook page.

    Actually... got it figured out.

    Basically, once you have your form created and is visible on the page... go into the source and copy the ENTIRE form.

    In FB, add the FBML application and paste the form in its entirety into a DIV. The form actually needs to POST to a page on your site that has the actual form... so add some page that contains the form you're using.

    You can also add the STYLE tag so the form keeps the same styling that you use on your website.

    Hope this helps.

    That sounds like one way to do it. The down side to that vs. the iframe method is when it comes to updating the form, possible script conflicts using conditional logic, etc. With the form in an iframe, you shouldn't need to update anything on the facebook site when you change the form.. maybe the dimensions of the iframe if anything.

    Thanks for that Facebook info, media50

    I need to add a form to a FB Welcome page

    What did you put in the action?
    <form method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data' id='gform_2' class='gform' action=''>

    Also, specifically, how did you reference your style in the FBML?

    Thanks

    George
