Javascript errors when using shortcode in template

  1. When inserting a form with conditional logic or text count via shortcode in the wysiwyg editor, say...

    [gravityform id="4" name="Quote - Remote Backup" description="false"]

    the form loads up no problem. However if I use say...

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[gravityform id="4" name="Quote - Remote Backup" description="false"]'); ?>

    in a template the form is automatically hidden, I believe due to Javascript issues.

    I get a few Javascript errors in firebug.

    "gf_apply_rules is not defined"
    "Uncaught TypeError: Object[object Object] has no method 'textareaCount'"

    I have tried disabling all plugins, switching to the 2011 theme, removing custom javascript files that I call in my header.

    It might also be worth mentioning that I use the advanced custom fields plugin found here and when inserting a shortcode in a wysiwyg textarea created by this plugin the forms will have the same issues, only through the standard wordpress wysiwyg editor will the forms display, with no Javascript error.

    Cheers

  2. When you place the form code in the template are you enqueueing your scripts and styles?

  3. I am experiencing the exact same problem, placing a shortcode in Advanced Custom Fields ( no regular content area ).

    I have tried manually enqueing my scripts too. but to no avail. My form is on this page here...
    http://www.citysun.ac.uk/2011/12/on-course-delivery-survey/

    All other forms work on this site, ( such as http://www.citysun.ac.uk/about-us/contact-us/ )

    Getting rid of Advanced Custom Fields isn't an option unfortunately so are there any other fixes available for me?
