Any way to determine where a form was initiated?

I have an internet (not intranet) web page. This web page will have two buttons. I want to use the same form and use a Dynamic Form Rule (?, automation?, ??) to display or hide fields on the sam...

Maybe I simplified too much.

I have a web page on the internet.

From that web page someone could push one button to register for an online event occurring at a specific date and time to discuss their problem

Or, from the same web page someone could push a different button to submit a problem without registering for an online event.

The same form could be used for both problem submissions with the event time and date selection being hidden (ticket submission) or visible (event registration).

How could you set up a Dynamic Form Rule to hide or show the event time and date based on which web page button was pushed?

When they click to register for an Event, are they launching off a list of events?

    Probably the other way around I think.

    One button would get them to a form with the list of events visible while the other button would get them to a form where the 'event' piece of submitting a problem for subsequent work is hidden.

    The web page can connect to a QB form (which I have no clue how that happens yet but I know other QB applications we have do this).    The web page itself, without more work, doesn't directly have access to a list of available events.  Unless I break out the form so the 'problem' submission form is used by both with an initial form to select the event date/time (but that seems like non-simplification to me).

      So you can make a checkbox field called [Show Event Dropdown] and have a form rule to show that event drop one field if the checkbox is checked.

      If the [Show Event Dropdown] field was fid 99, then the button which allows the user to select an event would need to include a line

      & "&_fid_99=1" // this will show the event drop down field.  That says to check (true) fid 99.

        Perfect.

        I will be anxious to give this a try (after I set up the Event checkbox) as I will not be the one doing the web page changes.
