INTERNET MARKETING

I'm developing a Wordpress template that will support integration with the major autoresponders. I think they would be this ones:

Aweber
Getresponse
iContact
Mailchimp
ConstantContact
1ShoppingCart
InfusionSoft

I'd like to get a example opt-in form generated by those email list providers. Just name and email fields.

For example for MailChimp would be:

HTML Code:

<!-- Begin MailChimp Signup Form -->
<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
	#mc_embed_signup fieldset {position: relative;}
	#mc_embed_signup legend {position: absolute; top: -1em; left: .2em;}
</style>
<![endif]--> 
<!--[if IE 7]>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
	.mc-field-group {overflow:visible;}
</style>
<![endif]-->

<div id="mc_embed_signup">
<form action="xxx" method="post" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank" style="font: normal 100% Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 10px;">

you don't have to create the form.. u will just need to embed it.

It will come readymade and can be used with HTML coding. Copy n paste!

  You basically need to log in into your email list provider, create a opt-in form with name and email, and paste here the code generated. Not much to learn

  Basically I need to parse that form to retrieve the necessary fields to use them in my custom form, so I need the HTML that those providers generate.
