In this video, you will learn an advanced technique. If the visitor interacts with an element (e.g., sees it), you can use Google Tag Manager and Custom JavaScript to fetch the parent element’s ID.
This will be done with a method called .closest().

Hi, Julius, thank you for sharing. I have a question: Does having too many JS variables affect the page loading speed?

Nice video again Julius! Why not get the value of data-form_id with .val() instead of .dataset.form_id? Easier to understand and read in my opinion. Keep up doing those videos... I am a fan!

Hi Julius, great video! Is it possible that this only works on a form that shows a success message but also keeps displaying the form itself without switching it to display:none after submission? I've been following each single step and always kept getting an "undefined" result in my variable. I've tried to change it to track something from inside the success message element and now it works. Just wondering if the display:none could affect the results?

If messgae disappears after several seconds, it should not affect
