Kevin Riley and I Agree: Kill The Spaceman

Where is the nice, kinda clunky, but more than manageable, aweber web form generator version 2.0.

I want a nice, simple, rapidly made form I can stick on my webpage.

I do not want to wait for aweber to create an even cooler, neater version of their form generator -- complete -- now with css and javascript.

If I wanted javascript, I'd put in my own javascript.

If I want css, I'll put in my own css.

Not to mention that it's buggy. I modified my form, and it still gave me the previous version when I asked for the raw html. (Yes, I saved the form.)

Not to mention the fact that when I slam the form into my Kompozer page -- Kompozer now not-so-delightfully assists me by taking all the css code and sticking it in the head section.

I don't need this.

Can we please have a choice of WHICH form generator we use?

Thank you!

Live JoyFully!

Judy

PS -- the spaceman is the "cute" little picture aweber sticks up while loading up all your cool gadgets for aweber form generator 3.0.

PPS -- it was bad enough when I used to ask for html and then it gave me a choice between javascript and "raw" html.

PPPS -- some people REALLY would like to create their OWN javascript, or choose not to have it.

Oh -- okay .... THERE IT IS!!!! I found it!

After you say "yes, i will install this form myself"
(don't send a copy to my webdesigner to put it on the webpage)

Below the "raw" html...there's a checkbox line:

Include beautiful form styles. Uncheck to get unformatted basic form.

(It didn't work the first time I tried it. I had to leave my work, go off and do something else in aweber and then come back to the form in order for my changes to "take", and for the checkbox to actually do something.)

Hope someone can save some time from my pain.

I for one cant stand the new "lovely" form generator from aweber. Its cumbersome and spits out bloated code, most of which I dont need.

Its bells and whistles thats not necessary.

  And what's with the tiny font? I have a number of members who are optically challenged and don't like teensy font on web pages.

Marc,

You shouldn't pick on Kevin. He's older than you.

I can pick on Kevin. I'm older than he.

Elmer is older than I am, so I have to watch what I say about Elmer.

:-Don

BTW Did anyone else watch the Aweber webinar about the new form generator? I looks like it can do some really cool things. But I speak out of turn 'cuz I haven't used it yet. That is one of tomorrow's projects.

I may be back here cursing and swearing at the form generator tomorrow evening.

  I don't care much either way about the form generator. I'm a bit disturbed that Judy would say the first 5 words in this thread title in public, though...
  
  Careful, ma'am. You have a reputation to uphold!
