Form Submit button not working

Question

Hello,My form is not submitting and I can't figure out why. Has anyone had this problem before? Here is an example of the URL where the form lives:Sanford Whiteman​

Thanks, Sanford!I am not familiar with how a bot script approaches filling out forms so this is helpful.Would you recommend removing this entirely? Is it a waste to try to prevent these bot form fills or is there a better method?You can try to use the honeypot concept, but there's no need to do anything in JS. It's only on the server that it makes sense (in a trigger SC, you would see if a New Lead unexpectedly has a value for a field that should be blank).I recommend a ReCAPTCHA over the honeypot, but you can hook up the honeypot and see what happens.The reason the honeypot is doomed if someone targets your form with some intelligence is that by doing a sample form post, it's easy to see that field posts no value by default (even if it weren't clear from your JS!).Boggles my mind (not blaming you!) that after 20 years of web forms, people still suggest browser-side JS to combat clients that aren't browsers.

Thanks all for checking on this. I found that this was related to the honeypot script we use on landing page templates to prevent bots from submitting forms.

The form I was using did not have the hidden "honeypot" field so the script in the template was preventing all form submissions. Once I added the hidden field, it fixed the issue.

Thanks!
