GetResponse forms - coding question

I don't understand your question. What information
do you want to hide?

Hi Asher

I use Getresponse but don't understand what you want to do.
I just have a look at the form in my site and the form looks like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<input type="hidden" name="category1" value="xxxxxxxxx" /> (List name)
<input type="hidden" name="confirmation" value="xxxxxxxxxxxxx"/> (Confirmation page)
<input type="hidden" name="error_page" value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"/> (Thank you page)
<input type="hidden" name="ref" value="001" />
<input type="hidden" name="getpostdata" value="get" />
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What you want to hide?

Hello,

Thanks for the responses. I was referring to
the input type = hidden for confirmation and
error pages... they redirect to the confirmed
and error pages.

Is there a way to not show where the
confirmed and error pages are in the view
source code?

Asher,

Remove the hidden variables from the html form. Pass the form to a php script that parses those variables, adds the hidden variables, then forwards everything to Get Response just as your current html form does.

Your hidden variables will no longer be in the form (that is now php), but in the php script. So "viewing source" will not show your hidden variables. It will show the path to your php script, but almost all of your users will not be able to do anything with that.

If done corrrectly, the addition of the php script will have no effect on your users. Whatever your users see after pressing your submit button now is exactly the same as they will see after going through the php script. Any delay that is created by the php script should be unnoticeable to your users.

BTW, be sure to change the page your form is on from html to php, so that you can actually pass your variables from the form to the php script.



If "skipping" to your confirmation page allows the people that sign up access to your sign-up incentives, (which is the only reason I can think of that "skipping" will do anything) then I suggest you remove them from the page anyway. Place the links to those in the 2nd email your list receives. The first is your confirmation email. If I'm a freebie seeker and I just got my incentives on your confirmation page, why confirm?

Good Luck,
Gene

Hi Asher,

If you're trying to hide the confirmation page so that people can't bypass it and get a product you're giving away, then perhaps it's worth checking into something like DLGuard: DLGuard - Download page protector, create expiring download links

DLGuard will integrate with GetResponse directly, so when they signup to a DLGuard free product, DLGuard will add them straight into your GetResponse mailing list - all automatic, all invisible, and best of all - secure.

Naturally, however, if people really want to scam you for your free product, then they'll just use a disposable email address. So do what you can, but don't stress about what you can't.

cheers

Asher,

Just turn on confirmation and then they cant see/get it w/out confirming.

You can hire some programmer to make a 'middle' script that will hide those GR code from your squeeze page.

If you want the instant solution, get Sam's DLGuard.
