Want to populate a field that has the actual URL a web form is filled out on.

For our Marketo Landing Pages with Forms on them we want to capture what webpage url the form was filled out on.  {{trigger.Web Page}} does not work because that only give the Marketo description name.  We need the full url of the Landing Page.  How can we do this?

Hi there, is there a way to implement this script on the form itself?

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it.   See my thoughts on this other thread from just today: Is it okay to use javascript in rich text fields in forms?

Sanford I think you can help me out.

I'm looking at creating a global form for gated content and using the URL to route users to the correct content.

I may be in a bit over my head right now, but maybe you can help me out.

I placed the below into a RT field in the form... based on this thread

<script>

MktoForms2.whenReady(function(form){

     form.addHiddenFields({"Latest_Form_Fill_Webpage":document.location});

})

</script>

I'm pretty sure my implementation is wrong for a few reasons.

1. when I save the RT field, marketo automatically adds to the code //[Cdata! ....

2. I think Mkto.Forms2.whenReady() only runs on submit? I'm not sure and don't know where to find documentation right now.

Thoughts?

Should I avoid using the JS in the Form Rt and just implement in the footer of all my wordpress pages + MKTO landing page templates?

You'll need to use a script to populate this field, something like this:

<script>

MktoForms2,whenReady(function(form){

     form.vals({"yourFieldApiName":document.location});

})

</script>

This will add the URL of the page into the specified field, yourFieldApiName.
