Form Submission Error - Server Status 400

Hi Marketo Community, 

 

I have been experiencing intermittent form submission failures for Marketo forms on my corporate (non-Marketo Landing Page) site.

 

Form submissions generally function properly on our site. However, occasionally we receive the tooltips error message 'Submission failed, please try again later'.  We get this error message randomly, and can't identify a pattern or obvious reason why this would happen. This makes it very hard to reproduce and troubleshoot.

 

We were able to capture the console errors on a recent form submit failure (the screenshots are also below). The webpage the form is hosted on is this.

 

 

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()POST https://874-ytk-209.mktoweb.com/index.php/leadCapture/save2 400 send @ forms2.min.js:7 ajax @ forms2.min.js:7 (anonymous) @ XDFrame:42 dispatch: @ forms2.min.js:6 q.handle @ forms2.min.js:6

 

 

 

Can anyone help identify the reason why these forms fail to submit?

Hi Sanford, thanks again for your help. 

 

Below are the screenshots.

 

 

 


The problem is your site is an SPA (single-page app) and you’re continually creating additional Marketo form objects whenever someone navigates back to the form page.

 

The HTML <form> elements are removed from the DOM, but the form objects will never be removed and the forms library still thinks they exist.)

 

You need to make sure a single form object + <form> element pair are reused as new page content is injected & shown, rather than creating new ones.

Is there any situation where you load additional forms on that page (a quick subscribe form, et al.)? This error is typically because you load forms from 2 different domains, i.e. your LP domain like pages.example.com and the Marketo builtin default 123-XOR-456.mktoweb.com. You should only be using the LP domain.

 

I couldn’t see another form being loaded when I checked your page just now, but your CMS may inject one under certain conditions.

Hi Sanford, thanks for responding.

 

There is not a situation where we load additional forms currently - we have this in the pipeline, but it isn't live yet. 

 

You should only be using the LP domain.

When we initially implemented Marketo, we faced an issue where our forms would not work properly on any page when we used the standard embed link containing our LP domain. After consultation with our web-devs and Marketo support, the solution recommended was to replace the CNAME source references with our Marketo built-in domain in the embed codes. The embed code we use on our site for all forms looks like this: 

<script src="https://123-ABC-456.mktoweb.com/js/forms2/js/forms2.min.js"></script> <form id="mktoForm_2190"></form> <script>MktoForms2.loadForm("https://123-ABC-456.mktoweb.com", "123-ABC-456", 2190);</script>

 

Would this potentially cause the problems we are facing now?
