Hide lightbox form after submission

[Lucho_Soto]

I have the form code below to embed a Marketo form as a lightbox.
 
<script src="//app-sj04.marketo.com/js/forms2/js/forms2.js"></script>
<form id="mktoForm_1244"></form>
<script>MktoForms2.loadForm("//app-sj04.marketo.com", "980-GBD-747", 1244, function (form){MktoForms2.lightbox(form).show();});</script>
 
However, the lightbox currently does not disappear when the form is submitted, it just reloads the page and pops up again. Marketo does provide a code for this (see below), but I don’t know how to combine the two pieces of code together so that it’s a lightbox AND it disappears after it is submitted. Can someone who knows JavaScript help me make this code work? Thanks!
 
1.  MktoForms2.loadForm("//app-sjst.marketo.com", "980-GBD-747", 1244, function(form){
2.  //Add an onSuccess handler
3.  form.onSuccess(function(values, followUpUrl){
4.  //get the form's jQuery element and hide it
5.  form.getFormElem().hide();
6.  //return false to prevent the submission handler from taking the lead to the follow up url.
7.  return false;
8.  });
9.  });

Kyle, I like your solution. I documented here:

Here you go: the MktoForms.lightbox(form).show() call returns the lightbox object, so you can store it in a variable and .hide() it later.

<script src="http://app-sj04.marketo.com/js/forms2/js/forms2.js"></script>

<form id="mktoForm_1244"></form>

<script>MktoForms2.loadForm("http://app-sj04.marketo.com", "980-GBD-747", 1244, function (form){

// create lightbox and store it in variable

var lightbox = MktoForms2.lightbox(form).show();

// Add onSuccess handler

form.onSuccess(function(){

// hide the lightbox

lightbox.hide();

// return false to prevent the submission handler from taking the lead to the follow up url.

return false;

});

});

</script>

For this hide - does it only hide when you submit the form?

What if they filled out the form and refreshed the page - will the form show again or is there a way to hide it since we already know the user?

Thanks.

This type of "hide" is different. What you're talking about is the "If Known Lead, Show.." option in the form's Setup.

How would the “If known lead” work with a lightbox? Our goal is to avoid the lightbox if we know who the lead is.

I showed this exact thing in a relatively recent post... can't look for it now as I'm on the road. But the technique is to have a script in the Known Lead HTML that hides the whole modal (.mktoModal) by adding a class. You prepare the form's custom CSS with the_same_class { display: none }

Hi Sanford Whiteman, I'm trying to achieve the same thing with not showing a lightbox form embedded in our website when a known lead returns to the page. I figured I'd find a solution from you in here

Given the age of this thread, I'm having a hard time finding the post you refer to above that uses the technique to give the whole modal a class and hiding that with CSS.

By any chance, could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Mike

Can you open a new thread in Products and link back to this one, thanks...

Thanks Sanford - I'll check other posts to find it!

Hi I'm having trouble. I've added this to every page on our site so no matter the entry point I catch them with the lightbox form at least once. but I want it to disable completely for the session once they x out of it. Any help here? Here's the code I have:

<script src="//app-aba.marketo.com/js/forms2/js/forms2.min.js"></script>

<form id="mktoForm_1043"></form>

<script>MktoForms2.loadForm("//app-aba.marketo.com", "648-VJF-461", 1043, function (form){

var lightbox = MktoForms2.lightbox(form).show();

form.onSuccess(function(){

lightbox.hide();

return false;

});

});

</script>
