Hi All,

Just started playing with LimeSurvey and I have hit a weird problem that I thought I would easily find a solution for but unless I am missing something, I can't find anyone else with this problem. I started with an XAMP installation and have now set up a full SQL Express/IIS version and still have the same problem.

When I add a survey, it all looks fine and passes logic tests. But when I try and execute it, either the Next button or the submit button won't do anything. I have got it working on another survey but this one survey will not work and I did have the issue when trying to setup another test survey. They are quite basic, a few free texts and some drop downs and all seems fine but I just cannot navigate past the first question group. If I show all groups together, I can't use Submit. And my most recent attempt resulted in not getting past the introduction.

I have tried Chrome and IE and several machines but it seems like once the survey breaks, it stays broken. Am I missing something obvious? I am sure the install is fine as one survey works perfectly - although I had to delete it and start again from scratch as it had the same issues to start with. But something I am doing seems to irreparably break a given survey and I have no idea why.

What LimeSurvey and template are you using?

Can you attach an exported copy of the survey?

Can you export the survey as .lss and post it here, so we can have a look if this happens on other installations as well?

Here you go. I did wonder about templates as I changed it to Orange but I have recreated in the default template. I have a nagging suspicion that I am missing something obvious but can't see what it is.

You have <form> elements in both the survey description and welcome message. Remove those and the survey works fine.

That makes perfect sense now you say it - someone had set the survey up in Google Surveys which we don't allow access to so I replicated it in LimeSurvey. As it was quite wordy, I copied and pasted the text and must have picked up some form tags. Many thanks for your help.
