Submit button logic

— Premium Feature —

The submit button includes options to either conditionally hide or disable it. These settings apply to the submit button on the last page of the form, and not a next button added by a page break field.

Submit Button Conditional Logic

Click Conditional logic, and add settings to hide or disable the submit button. This works just like the field conditional logic. The logic includes the option to hide the submit button until a checkbox is checked.

By default, conditional logic is triggered when the field is changed, which doesn't occur until the cursor leaves the field. To trigger this when a keyboard key is released, you can use this Javascript example instead.

  1. Add an HTML field with a validation message. You could add some CSS styling, if you want. Submit Button Logic HTML field
  2. Add conditional logic to the HTML field such that it will only show if the email address field contains @gmail.com or @yahoo.com. Submit Button Logic HTML conditional logic
