Gravity Forms AJAX Submission

Gravity form 2.9.4 when submit the form plz don't reload the page just go to incorrect answer

Gravity Forms 2.9.4 does not have built-in AJAX support enabled by default, so you'll need to enable it manually to prevent page reloads on form submission. Here’s how you can do it:

### **Enable AJAX Submission in Gravity Forms**
1. **Enable AJAX in the shortcode** (if you're embedding the form using a shortcode):

[gravityform id="1" ajax="true"]

Replace `1` with your actual form ID.

2. **Enable AJAX in PHP** (if you're embedding the form using `do_shortcode` in a template):

echo do_shortcode('[gravityform id="1" ajax="true"]');

3. **Enable AJAX in Block Editor** (if using Gutenberg):
– Select your Gravity Form block.
– In the block settings, enable **AJAX**.

### **Redirect to Incorrect Answer Section (If Needed)**
If you have a quiz or validation step and want to scroll to the incorrect answer message:
1. Add this jQuery script to your site:

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
       $(document).on("gform_confirmation_loaded", function (event, formId) {
           // Scroll to error message if the form has validation errors
           if ($(".gform_validation_errors").length) {
               $("html, body").animate({
                   scrollTop: $(".gform_validation_errors").offset().top - 100
               }, 500);
           }
       });
   });

2. You can add this script to **Appearance → Theme Editor → functions.php** or use a plugin like **Code Snippets**.

This setup ensures that:
– The form submits via AJAX (without reloading the page).
– If there are incorrect answers or validation errors, the page scrolls to them automatically.

Don't want to prevent submit function just when validation failed then just go to invalid field without reload

Got it! You want to allow form submission but, if validation fails, prevent the page reload and automatically scroll to the first invalid field. Here’s how you can achieve this in Gravity Forms:

### **Solution: Scroll to the First Invalid Field on Validation Failure**
1. **Ensure AJAX is enabled**
If using a shortcode, enable AJAX like this:

[gravityform id="1" ajax="true"]

If using `do_shortcode`:

echo do_shortcode('[gravityform id="1" ajax="true"]');

2. **Add Custom JavaScript to Scroll to the First Invalid Field**
Add the following jQuery script to your site (via a custom JavaScript file, a theme’s script section, or a plugin like Code Snippets):

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
       $(document).on("gform_post_render", function (event, formId) {
           // Listen for validation errors
           if ($(".gform_validation_errors").length) {
               var firstInvalidField = $(".gfield_validation_message:first").closest(".gfield");
               if (firstInvalidField.length) {
                   $("html, body").animate({
                       scrollTop: firstInvalidField.offset().top - 100
                   }, 500);
               }
           }
       });
   });

### **How It Works:**
– Ensures the form uses AJAX for submission.
– Detects when validation errors appear.
– Finds the first invalid field and smoothly scrolls to it.

This approach allows the form to submit normally when valid but prevents page reload on validation errors and smoothly navigates to the first incorrect field.
