[Pro] AWeber Form Works on 1 Page, But Not Other

Hi, Gang –

This is an interesting one.

I have the same line of code on two different pages on my site except the code works on one page but not the other.

On this page – Marketing Tools, Tips, and Techniques from Leading Experts | Jamie Turner – the code I’ve installed for my AWeber newsletter form works.

But on this page – http://www.60SecondMarketer.com – the same code doesn’t work. The first field for “Name” displays gobbledygook when you type in a name.

Any thoughts on what’s going on here?

Thanks,
Jamie

The script isn’t throwing any errors, but it seems to be using a regular expression as the value for the preview rather than the value of the form field. /rn/g means “Select any return-like characters, greedily” in Regular Expression-ese. My guess is that the script intends to use that Regexp to cleanse the input value of any newlines before using it to create the preview. The fact that it isn’t throwing errors suggests that either it thinks its doing what you want it to, or it is written to swallow all errors.

I had a quick dig through the code, and I don’t even see where this part of the page is being manipulated. There is code being injected into the page here there and everywhere, and I can’t trace out where this error is being introduced.

What I would do is start with a completely blank page in that same site where the error occurs, and one element at a time add things to the page until it breaks. Start with just the sign-up form, then add the other effects you’re using until it goes tilt. My money is personally on AddThis, which I have seen break pages in mysterious ways, but I’m not willing to point fingers here without proof.

Hi, Walt –

I’ll give the re-building idea a try. That seems to have worked in the past, so I’ll give it another shot.

Thanks for your help. I’ll let you know what I find.

Cheers,
Jamie

Hi, Walt –

I re-built the page as you suggested and the form works. No telling what caused the problem, but you can check it out here: Marketing Tools, Tips, and Techniques from Leading Experts | Jamie Turner

Question – In order to take this test page and turn it into my home page, I should just delete my original home page and then re-name the test page Marketing Tools, Tips, and Techniques from Leading Experts | Jamie Turner, correct?

After I re-name, I just upload.

I just want to be sure since it is, in fact, my home page and I don’t want to mess anything up.

:slight_smile:

Thanks,
Jamie

You will get a dialog asking you if you want to replace existing links to the page you’re deleting with external links. Say Okay to that, otherwise you will have to go back through and re-link everything that previously pointed to the home page.

After I re-name, I just upload.

That should do it.

Thanks, Walt. Give my best to your dog (who has been in your profile photo for years.)

She’s very happy to be there, also happy to impersonate a rug while I work, or leap 4 feet in the air when she’s excited, or run ~35 miles an hour. Mostly she’s very happy to eat cheese, like her (adoptive) dad.
