Need help with aweber, please

Just started using aweber for list building. It's pretty straight forward, as far as the tech side goes, now writting decent copy is a different topic.

But I do have a question, how do I make different sign up forms? I use xsitepro to build my sites, it has a "forms wizard" but it doesn't seem like those forms can be customized (they have a good number of variations, but they are all the same size) Aweber have their own form's "builder" if you want to call it that, but those didn't seem to be customizable either.

What I need is a different size of a sign up form. Xsitepro's form seem to be around 250 width, aweber's forms seem to be around 230 or so. I need a 150width sign up form. I actually have the form's graphic (was in one of the bonus packages I got with xsitepro) but I have no idea how to use it to make it a "form"

Would really appreciate any help with this since thing problem is preventing me from making an otherwise pretty well looking site.

    Just go to the HTML section of XSitePro and change the width there.

      Unfortunately that doesn't work. Aweber's form is a java script. the forms built with xsitepro's form wizard are probably the same java script (shows up as "formwzard/54535/53 or some such) and there isn't any html there for me to edit.

      I can change the width of the form in the form wizard, but it just cuts corners instead of shrinking it, and also has a limit of about 200 or so, and won't get lower (basically the lenght of the word "email" plus the lenght of the input window)

      Anyone else has any suggestion? Would really appreciate any help with this. Also, how would I go about making a different size sign up form with the words email/name being above the input windows, not besides them link in the default aweber form?

        It certainly does work, since I do it all the time.

        Hint: Use HTML code, not Javascript.

          Not sure what you mean by html code, the "get html code" in aweber only gives you the java script to paste into site, doesn't actually give you any html code to change.

          Anyway, think I am starting to figure out how to an opt in form that I have (that does have html for me to edit) However I have a question about it, there is a line of code that I am a bit unsure about:

          <input type="hidden" name="meta_web_form_id" value="0123456789">

          The value nhumbers, are those the value numbers you see when you create a form in aweber? And would they be different for each form/list? That is after I created a form when I click "get html" I get

          <script type="text/javascript" src="http://forms.aweber.com/form/63/1451375533.js"></script>

          So, would the numbers "1451375533" be the value numbers for the first line? So it would be
          <input type="hidden" name="meta_web_form_id" value="1451375533">

          Thanks for your help.
