Question

Preventing personal email address being filled out on form

Hi all,

On several landing pages, I would like to prevent personal email addresses (yahoo, gmail, hotmail etc.) from being filled out on the form.

Initially, I thought I could edit some rules in the form, but this seems to be impossible. I do not want to edit my template, as it would effect all my landing pages.

Does anyone know how to ensure that only on a few landing pages, I "forbid" email addresses containing a certain domain name from being entered?

I found another discussion in the Marketo community referring to a certain HTML script, which should work. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to function properly.

Appreciate all the help!

Thanks,

Tom

Yes I did! This is the HTML script I tried, but it does not work. Furthermore, the article is about 2 years old, so perhaps outdated?

I'm hoping for new information that could help me.

Thanks,

Tom

That should still work...is this an embedded form on an external webpage? Or are you using a Marketo landing page?

Here's an idea - feel free to shoot it down, but...

You would have to make a change to your template. Where you have your other scripts, put in {{my.Custom-Script}}.

Now, copy the above mentioned code, open up notepad, paste it and save it as restrict-public-email.js. Upload it into design studio and grab the URL.

In the programs you want it, past <script src="<insert URL here>"> into your Custom-Script text token.

    Thanks Robb. I'll definitely try that one out.

    If anyone can't get this script working like I haven't been able to for the last hour, here is a tip. Make sure the script is after the form in the HTML of the page. That solved it for me.
