aWeber Form Help

[DeirdreJ]

Good Morning everyone!

I have a small tech issue that I am hoping someone here in the forum can help me figure out. I would like to incorporate my aWeber form script into a custom form which I have created. Their forms are so plain.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Yes I do! Best way for me to help you, is for me to give you an example

Below is taken from my own custom form on my web site, perhaps seeing how I have mine setup will help you. You need to use the raw html version of web form code to get what you need to use with a custom form.

<div class="form">
<form method="post" action="http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_web_form_id" value="theIDnumberforyourlist">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_split_id" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="unit" value="nameofyourlist">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://yourdomain.com/thankyoupage/">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_redirect_onlist" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_adtracking" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_message" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_required" value="from">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_forward_vars" value="0">
<label>First name</label>
<input name="name" type="text" id="name" class="input" />
<label>Email </label>
<input name="from" type="text" id="email" class="input" />
<input type="image" src="http://genesisblogging.com/img/box_3d_button.gif" class="button" name="submit" alt="Search" />
</form>
<p><a href="http://genesisblogging.com/privacy/" title="Privacy Policy">Privacy Policy</a>
</div>

Obviously the variables you enter will be those you setup/or were setup for you when you created your list (i.e. the redirect thank you page, list ID number, etc..)

Why don't you create the plain HTML form in Aweber, then you copy the form into your favorite HTML editor and customize it to the look and feel you want?

SUCCESS! I did it! Thank you so much. You can see my efforts on my site.

I just cut a quick two minute screencast on my blog showing the quick steps to creating a form using aweber and how to get the code to do it.
