I’m trying to create a mailing list for a site I’m currently designing, it needs to be placed in a certain place on the page (LEFT, MIDDLE) ish!
My client has registered with a mailing list database program http://www.ymlp.com/ that provides you the html to add to your site!
How do I do this? Do I just apply it in the HTML markup, I have tried, but it keeps wanting to default to the top left corner of the page??? Why? arrrh! ha
Can I even specify the dimensions of these fields or do I need to hand edit the code in order to do this?
Also can this then be applied to everypage in the same location, as this is what they want?
I have never done this before so any advice would be great…
Is it best to do it this way? Advantages it puts all emails into a database for you automatically, thus mailing lists are always up to date etc!
Or would you create a ‘mailing list’ style form yourself in Frreway, with success/error pages etc and corresponding email address, but then you have to keep/manage all data manually!
???
Any suggestions please on the best route to take, long term!

You code try creating a “simple” page in Freeway - use tables no layers, make sure style sheet are internal, and any image links are to images already in a image folder on the web somewhere, publish the page to disc, and copy paste the HTML code into your program markup area.

Insert a HTML markup item (from the Insert menu) with your code. Position on the page (to style is put it in a HTML box and apply text styles to the box or text surrounding it)

What happens? When I place that code in a test page I get a page saying:
You’ll receive a verification e-mail shortly that contains a link
which you need to visit in order to confirm your subscription.
Have you got any other forms on the page? This may be the cause of the
problem because Freeway places a form tag around the entire contents
of the page and nested forms are not valid in HTML.
To prevent this from happening you need to use the Multiple Form
Action which I can send you personally, just let me know (I am in the
process of updating it so this version isn’t on the KnowledgeBase yet).

The function of the code!
Here is the code:

I’ve just been thinking about this, if you draw an HTML layer item on
the page and double click inside, then copy the code below:
Fill out your e-mail address to receive our newsletter!
and use Edit>Paste Special (FW4) or Edit>Paste Markup (FW5) you will
be able to see and edit the form directly in Freeway. This will
require the Multiple Form Action that I sent you previously to be
applied to the containing item and the form Action to be filled out in
the Action.
I have refined the code as Freeway will discard the Form tag and also
won’t handle the table either.
Hope this helps!

If you could send me the Multiple Form Action that woul dbe great!
I think you were right, I removed the other form ont the page and it
now works!
Do I just apply the action to the html markup item and each other
form etc individually?
