Is there somewhere I can find the code for a simple opt-in box to put at the bottom of a web page?

  • The opt in code itself just creates the form that you see on your page. You still have to have some way to get that data from the form to a database. Most autoresponders generate the code for you and handle all the database managment behind the scenes.

    So putting the form there is easy. Getting it into a database is the more complicated part.

    • Hi,

      Here's the HTML for a form.


      <DIV ALIGN="center">
      <TABLE>
      <FORM ACTION="http://www.formmail.com/etc/etc/" METHOD="post">
      <TABLE WIDTH="300" BORDER="3" CELLSPACING="5" BGCOLOR="#3399CC" BORDERCOLOR="#000000">
      <TR>
      <TD WIDTH="50%">Your Name:</TD>
      <TD WIDTH="50%"><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="fullname" MAXLENGTH="25" SIZE="30"></TD>
      </TR>
      <TR>
      <TD WIDTH="50%">Your E-Mail:</td>
      <TD WIDTH="50%"><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="email" MAXLENGTH="25" SIZE="30"></TD>
      </TR>
      <TR>
      <TH><INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Subscribe Now!"></TH>
      <TH><INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear form"></TH>
      </TR>
      <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="recipient" VALUE="you@yourdomain.com">
      <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject" VALUE="Newsletter">
      <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="required" VALUE="fullname,email"><!-- must be given otherwise redirected to error.html -->
      <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="confirmation" VALUE="thanks.html"><!-- redirect after -->
      <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="error_page" VALUE="whoops.html"><!-- redirect if error -->
      </FORM >
      </TABLE>
      </DIV>


      For the form handling I suggest you go to formmail.com and open a free account which lets you receive a 100 or so forms a month. For a reasonable price you can get more forms handled.

      Any questions, get in touch.

      Good Luck

      Mike
