Warriors I need your help! click on the image and you will see a video that explains all. Or if I can make sense of all this, read on!

The script at the top is for an Autoresponder service that I use. The script below is one that is incorporated into the video optin box BUT for Aweber. I need to incorporate the details from my atuoresponder into the Aweber script which I don't know how to

Thanks for your help and advice.


Autosenders script:

<CENTER><script language="JavaScript">
function checkSub(){
if (document.signup.email.value.indexOf('@', 0) == -1) {
alert("Please fill in your valid Email address.nYour email should be in the following format: email@address.com")
document.signup.email.focus()
return false}
if (document.signup.fname.value == "") {
alert("Please fill in your First name.")
document.signup.fname.focus()
return false}
}</script><form action="http://autosenders.com/cgi-bin/optin.cgi" method="post" name="signup" onsubmit="return checkSub()"><input type=hidden name="action" value="addlead"><input type=hidden name="member" value="1889"><input type=hidden name="auto" value="974"><input type=hidden name="thankyou" value=""><table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2><tr><td><font size="2" face="arial, verdana">eMail address:</font></td><td><input type=text size=20 name="email"></td></tr><tr><td><font size="2" face="arial, verdana">First Name:</font></td><td><input type=text size=20 name="fname"></td></tr><tr><td><font size="2" face="arial, verdana">Last Name:</font></td><td><input type=text size=20 name="lname"></td></tr><tr><td></td><td align=center><input type="submit" value="Subscribe For Any New Updates"></td></tr></table></form></CENTER>

    Hey Brian...

    If I understand you correctly...
    You want to gather data from your own autoresponder from autosenders.com
    but post the data gathered to aweber correct?

    The only way I think you can pull this off is to log into your aweber account
    and create some custom fields for your form. This page tells you a little bit about that

    This is the first I ever heard of anyone trying to integrate two web-based autoresponders,
    but I suppose anything is possible.

    If I were you, I would save myself a lot of heartache and trouble and just contact aweber for help

    They are pretty good at customer support and I'm sure somebody over there can help you out.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Kevin.

    What I have is a template that uses Aweber but I want to use my own script.

    Cheers

      That should be pretty easy Brian...
      Notice how your autosender code starts with a <CENTER> tag and ends with a </CENTER> tag?
      ==================================================

      <CENTER><script language="JavaScript">
      function checkSub(){
      if (document.signup.email.value.indexOf('@', 0) == -1) {
      alert("Please fill in your valid Email address.nYour email should be in the following format: email@address.com")
      document.signup.email.focus()
      return false}
      if (document.signup.fname.value == "") {
      alert("Please fill in your First name.")
      document.signup.fname.focus()
      return false}
      }</script><form action="http://autosenders.com/cgi-bin/optin.cgi" method="post" name="signup" onsubmit="return checkSub()"><input type=hidden name="action" value="addlead"><input type=hidden name="member" value="1889"><input type=hidden name="auto" value="974"><input type=hidden name="thankyou" value=""><table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2><tr><td><font size="2" face="arial, verdana">eMail address:</font></td><td><input type=text size=20 name="email"></td></tr><tr><td><font size="2" face="arial, verdana">First Name:</font></td><td><input type=text size=20 name="fname"></td></tr><tr><td><font size="2" face="arial, verdana">Last Name:</font></td><td><input type=text size=20 name="lname"></td></tr><tr><td></td><td align=center><input type="submit" value="Subscribe For Any New Updates"></td></tr></table></form></CENTER>
      ================================================
      Just copy everything between those center tags
      and paste it in between the center tags of your aweber script...

      You didn't post the closing </center> tag for your aweber script but I'm sure it's in there somewhere...
      ==================================================
      <center>
      <form method="post" action="http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl">
      <input type="hidden" name="meta_web_form_id" value="0123456789">
      <input type="hidden" name="meta_split_id" value="">
      <input type="hidden" name="unit" value="YourListName">
      <input type="hidden" name="redirect"

      value="http://www.aweber.com/form/thankyou.html">
      <input type="hidden" name="meta_adtracking" value="">
      <input type="hidden" name="meta_message" value="1">
      <input type="hidden" name="meta_required" value="from,name">
      <input type="hidden" name="meta_forward_vars" value="0">
      </td></tr>


      <!-- Edit The NAME Fields According To Your Autoresponder -->

      <tr><td width="260"><font size="3" face="arial, verdana" color="#000000"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;& nbsp;First Name:</b></font></td><td><input type=text size=25 name="name"></td></tr>
      <tr><td width="260"><font size="3" face="arial, verdana" color="#000000"><b>Email address:</b></font></td><td><input type=text size=25 name="from"></td></tr>

      <!-- End Edit NAME Fields -->

      look for </center> in your aweber script
      ================================================== ====

      you might have to tweak the text fields a little but that should do it

      hope this helps

    I was thinking the same thing about the </center> tag because it isn't in the sample, and I tried another and it wasn't in that either. I'll keep looking - Thanks!

      Hey Brian,

      The closing </center> tag shouldn't keep your script from working correctly...
      you should be able to leave it off if you can't find it.
      as long as you make sure to copy and paste everything between the <form> and the </form> tags
      you should be good to go.
