In Webflow, is it possible to stay on the same page after form submission instead of seeing the success page?
In Webflow, it is indeed possible to stay on the same page after form submission instead of being redirected to a success page. This can be achieved by utilizing Webflow's built-in form submission settings and custom code integration. Here's how you can do it:
Create your form in Webflow: Start by designing your form using Webflow's form element. You can drag and drop form fields like text inputs, checkboxes, and dropdown menus onto your page to create your form.
Configure form settings: Once you have your form elements in place, select the form element and go to the form settings panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer. Here, you can customize the form settings like the form name, success message, and email notifications.
Disable the default success page: By default, Webflow will redirect users to a success page after form submission. To override this behavior and stay on the same page, you'll need to disable the default success page. To do this, simply uncheck the "Redirect to success page" option in the form settings panel.
Add custom code to handle form submission: To process form submissions without leaving the current page, you'll need to add some custom code to handle the form submission events. Webflow allows you to add custom code within the project settings, in the "Custom Code" tab.
a. Add a JavaScript function: In the custom code section, add a JavaScript function that will handle the form submission event. This function should prevent the default form submission behavior and perform any desired actions, such as displaying a success message or saving the form data.
b. Bind the function to the form submission event: Within the JavaScript function, use the querySelector method to select the form element on your page. Then, attach an event listener to the form's "submit" event. When the form is submitted, your custom JavaScript function will be triggered.
Test your form: Before publishing your changes, make sure to test your form by submitting it. Verify that the form data is being processed correctly and that you remain on the same page after submission.
By following these steps, you can keep users on the same page after they submit a form on your Webflow site. This can be useful when you want to display a confirmation message or perform other actions without disrupting the user experience.
