Problems installing custom Aweber form..

by oldwarrioruser1
5 replies
I've been researching this for about 2 hours now and I can't figure it out!!

My designer sent me an html template with the custom optin box on the page.

So I uploaded my homepage (where I want the optin box) and the html page he sent me in Dreamweaver..

I thought I could just copy and paste the code... Well, the background image for my optin box isn't showing in the "code" part.. The only code there is, is <form /form> with the Name & Email boxes.

It's like the image isn't even there...

Any help please? I guess it would help to learn coding.. -.-

P.S. Let me know if I need to provide any more info

    Did you upload the image to your domain?

    You need the background in your image folder.

    Or, Aweber has a java script that loads their images from Aweber.
    Aweber has an option to copy and paste the java script or the html code.

    If you are using the html code from Aweber then you need to have the image on your domain.

    You should probably go with the java script unless your background image is a custom image that will be used with the template.

    You need to go back to your designer, provide them the aWeber opt in code and get them to ensure it integrates with the design, including the background image etc.

    I don't know what your opt-in box image looks like, but it looks like the best solution would be to create a div with the opt-in box image as the background and then have your aweber form on top of that, inside the div.

    n7studios is right, you should go back to your developer but if you want to get it done now, what it sounds like to me is your trying to insert your image on the form using the javascript version of the aweber form.

    Go back to your aweber account, select the form, and then click on the code tab but make sure you select HTML version. Then apply that form to your page using your images and everything should work.

    If this sounds too technical, then refer to option 1,

    If <img tag is not there in code means the deginer did not use the image. You need to upload any image in your hosting account and then use in the form using <img> tag.

    In other way you can use Javascript code provided by Aweber.
