Prevent Marketo Form loading too many times?

Hi everyone, not too great with javascript, and looking for help from anyone who is willing to.

I have a Marketo form code that works great on all my pages. It is responsive and displays a message after submit. I was assigned to create a form also to be loaded from a modal/lightbox. But every single time I close the lightbox and load it again, the form is being displayed twice.

So my question is, how would I in a way clear my form after closing lightbox? Or reset all values after on load? Does this make sense? I want the form to load only once every time it is being called. Thanks for your help.

Code:

<body>

<script src="//app-sj08.marketo.com/js/forms2/js/forms2.min.js"></script>

<script>MktoForms2.loadForm("//app-sj08.marketo.com", "861-RWS-699", 1261, function(form) {});</script>

  

          <div class="boxPadding" style="background-color:#FFF; margin:0px 40px 0px 40px;">

      

        <!--  1 COLUMN-->

      

                     

            <form id="mktoForm_1261"></form>

            <ul class="mktoUL">

                            <li>

                            <p id="confirmform" style="visibility:hidden;"><span class="paddingArticlePage"><span class="paragraphArticlePage"><b>Thank you. You are now subscribed to Nanette Abuhoff Jacobson Commentary.</b></span></span></p>

                            </li>

                        </ul>

          <!--  END 1 COLUMN-->

        

    </div>

  

 

    <!-- on submit hide form and show hidden div -->

  

<script>

MktoForms2.whenReady(function (form){

//Add an onSuccess handler

  form.onSuccess(function(values, followUpUrl){

   //get the form's jQuery element and hide it

   form.getFormElem().hide();

document.getElementById('confirmform').style.visibility = 'visible';

   return false;

});

});

</script>

</body>

Re: Prevent Marketo Form loading too many times?

That code has no reference to the Marketo .lightbox() feature. Please post the actual code (link to a runnable URL is even better) and I'll show you how it's done.  It sounds like you may be reloading the entire form from scratch when someone clicks a button, but you're also preventing it from being destroyed the first time, so you get a duplicate form. But there's no lightbox in the code you posted here.
