KV HTML for email form field

[jenlively]

I have a form that collects an email address for our newsletter. Can I use KV HTML to fill the field but not submit the form?

If so how would I do that?

I want to do something similar with our contact us form as well by prefilling all the fields we know and leaving blank those that we don't.

Thank you.

KV HTML doesn't fill fields. It allows you to show just a button, though, if the session's already associated with a lead. So that's equivalent to having a hidden Email Address field.

Hi @SanfordWhiteman thanks for the response....

is there something I can use to fill the field if we already know them? I would rather show the filled in field with the button. I think I have seen this done before....thanks!

Sounds like you're talking about Pre-Fill. Is this an embedded form, or is it on a Marketo LP?

Hi @SanfordWhiteman its an embedded form

To show the Email Address (not just First Name/Last Name) in KV HTML would require my custom Pre-Fill JS.

Hi @SanfordWhiteman I assume you mean this: https://developers.marketo.com/blog/external-page-prefill/

No, I mean this: https://blog.teknkl.com/pre-fill-any-site-any-form/

(The code in that other post is dramatically vulnerable to DOS attacks, and of course also requires your own custom service. My code doesn’t have these problems.)
