How can I pass a URL parameter into a hidden form field in Webflow?
To pass a URL parameter into a hidden form field in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
Create a form in Webflow: Begin by creating a form in Webflow where you want to pass the URL parameter value.
Add a hidden form field: Inside the form, add a hidden form field. This field will be used to capture and store the URL parameter value.
Access the URL parameter value: To access the URL parameter value in Webflow, you can use JavaScript. Add a Custom Code element to your page where the form is located.
Write JavaScript code: In the Custom Code element, write the JavaScript code that will extract the URL parameter value and populate the hidden form field with it.
Start by defining a function that retrieves the URL parameter value using JavaScript's
URLSearchParamsAPI.Next, select the hidden form field using its CSS selectors and set its value to the retrieved URL parameter value.
Here's an example code that can be placed inside a
<script>tag within the Custom Code element:```javascript
```
Replace
'parameterName'with the name of the URL parameter you want to extract, and'hiddenFieldSelector'with the CSS selector of your hidden form field.
- Call the JavaScript function: Finally, call the
populateHiddenFormField()function to trigger the population of the hidden form field with the URL parameter value.
With these steps, you'll be able to pass a URL parameter into a hidden form field in Webflow.
