There could be several reasons why the form submit buttons in Webflow may not be working. Here are some possible causes and solutions to consider:

Incorrect Form Setup: Check that the form is set up correctly in Webflow's Form settings. Make sure you have provided a valid action URL for the form to submit to.
Invalid or Missing Fields: Verify that all required fields in the form are correctly marked and have valid input. If any required fields are missing or filled incorrectly, it may prevent the form from submitting.
Conflicting or Missing JavaScript: If you have custom code on your Webflow site, it's possible that conflicting JavaScript is causing the form submit buttons to malfunction. Ensure that there are no errors in your code and that it does not interfere with the form submission process.
Browser Compatibility: Test the form on different browsers to determine if the issue is specific to a particular browser. If the form works on other browsers, it might be a compatibility issue that can be resolved by updating or modifying browser-specific code.
Submission Confirmation Settings: Review the form's submission confirmation settings in Webflow. Ensure that you have specified the appropriate action to take after the form is submitted, such as showing a success message, redirecting to a specific page, or displaying an error message.
Third-Party Integration Errors: If you have integrated the form with a third-party service, such as an email marketing platform or CRM, check the integration settings and make sure they are properly configured. Sometimes, an issue with the integration can prevent form submissions from being processed correctly.
Hosting Environment Restrictions: If you are self-hosting your Webflow site or using a third-party hosting provider, verify that there are no restrictions or security settings in place that could block form submissions.

By troubleshooting these possible causes, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with the form submit buttons in Webflow.
