[Pro] Mailchimp

I am trying to get a newsletter subscribe to fit in the lower right hand bottom of the page.

#mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; } /* Add your own MailChimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block. We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. */

That’s the code it gives me and it does not fit… any ideas?

Howard’s problem with using the MailChimp signup code was caused by FW creating an empty Form Action tag because of the inclusion of a drop-down select item. This was added by the Navigation Popup action in BackDraft.

If you add any form type item on your page whether it is a button or a checkbox or an input field then FW will create an empty Form Action item ie

<form action="">

This will enclose your page content so that if you add another form or form item then the outer one can capture the event instead of the form item that you intended to use.

In Howard’s case the MailChimp signup item uses some js to select part of the the form action string as part of the form submission process.

<form action="//yourwebsite.us8.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=18f7650dg13163b82398d07be&amp;id=363e78cd5d" method="post"

Because that js encountered an empty string (because it looked in the enclosing Form Action item) there was an error and his form failed.

But help is at hand and there is “An Action for That”

The ‘No Form’ action will remove that all enclosing empty Form Action item for you and form submission can run as normal.
