HTML - Mailing List Form
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to put a simple mailing list form on my website. I found some html code for it that looks like this:
<div class="divrnd"><h1>Mailing List</h1></div> <form action="http://www.example-address.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi"> <p align="center"> <input type="text" name="email" value="email address"/> <br/> <input type="submit" value="Join the Mailing List"/> <br/> <input type="hidden" name="flavor" value="subscribe"/> </p> <p> </p> </form> </div> So is this the kind of code I would want to use? And then would I just substitute the website address in the "form action" tag for my own? I have a godaddy domain and e-mail, so I'm guessing I would have to set something up but I don't know if I'm on track here... thanks! Similar TutorialsHi! I'm using FrontPage and I want to create a mailing list that I can do mail merging with but I don't know exactly how to set up the form. I want to make a page that will automatically unsubscribe them so I'm not sure how it should save the information (i.e. csv,database,cgi script..)? Hi, I need to have a form on my website that enables users to put their email address in a box and for it to be sent to my email account to add to a mailing list. Thanks for any help Dyfrig I'm a HTML beginner, though i've done some simple stuff with Perl/CGI. I know i'm missing some very basic knowledge with this question. I'd like to let a user create a mailing list (though this seems like a class of problem that would apply to a lot of situations). The HTML should show the current mailing list, or the recipient that was filled in by a different form. It should have blank text field to enter a new address, and something like a Add-Address button to trigger the addition to the potentially much longer mailing list string. It should hopefully show the results immediately after hitting the button. (And maybe checking for validity.) Is this sort of thing possible with basic HTML, is it more of a Javascript problem, or is it fairly alien to any HTTP/HTML situation. Am i forced to something with an ugly full-page refresh afterwards? (And how ugly would that be?) Thanks! P.S. -- NOT a spammer! Hi, so I know hardly anything about HTML and I am hoping someone can help me.... I am in a band have created a Mailing List Form using a website named "Response O Matic"... Its a good enough form, but I really want to change the background colour from transparent to black... can anyone help?? Here is the current HTML code for the form... .. --> Begin Response-O-Matic Form --> .. --> DO NOT EDIT YOUR FORM HERE, PLEASE LOG IN AND EDIT AT RESPONSE-O-MATIC.COM --> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="http://www.response-o-matic.com/mail.php" accept-charset="UTF-8"> <div> <input type="hidden" name="acctid" id="acctid" value="fvb190zozxbejrme" /> <input type="hidden" name="formid" id="formid" value="547157" /> <input type="hidden" name="required_vars" id="required_vars" value="name,email" /> </div> <table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tr> <td valign="top"> <strong>Name:</strong> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="name" id="name" size="40" value="" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <strong>Email Address:</strong> </td> <td valign="top"> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" size="40" value="" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"> <input type="submit" value=" Submit Form " /> </td> </tr> </table> </form> <br><center><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="1"><b> <a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnJlc3BvbnNlLW8tbWF0aWMuY29t">create web form</a> </b></font></center> .. --> End Response-O-Matic Form --> Hi guys, good morning! I have recently signed up for an mailing list account with topica and have implemented the code on my site. It's working fine but I am not impressed by the validation of emails and that it's asking every member that signs up to also register with topica! What I want to know is a) is there any other alternatives that let you customize the email verification message they send out which is entitled 'Topica Customer Care - RESPONSE REQUIRED: Topica Email Verification'? I fear that this message is going to lose me people who may think it is junk mail because it does not appear to be coming from my company! and b) if not, is there any decent tutorials/scripts floating about to do it yourself? Cheers, Jamie Is there a basic html code or script i can enter to just make a mailing list form? as simple as a tab for entering your name and a tab for e mail address and then having it sent to an email?.....the site im using hostmonster.com has PHP but im pretty much clueless on setting up a mailing list with it...and ive been reading a good amount but its confusing... al i want is a form with name and e mail entry which is then sent to my main e mail address..any help i would really appreciate it, its driving me crazy!! I dont even know if what i want is actually called a 'mailing list' All i really want is to be able to have TYPE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IN HERE TO BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST! on the website (myspace page in this case) and then a box underneath for somebody to type their email in, click enter, or join or whatever, and I get sent an email to my gmail account just containing their email address. Ive no idea how easy this is ? Can somebody help ? Thank you in advance !

Hi all, I have one listbox( in form ) with multiple selection option. upon clicking submit button this form will send details to servlet program.

Is it possible to get all the values from list box even without single selection. can any one help me ? Hey guys, I'm having a little problem. My client is being very picky and he doesn't like the way his "form dropdown box unfurls". I did some research and I can't seem to find a way to changed the speed or way that the dropdown box drops down. Can someone help me out? Thank in advance! Aaron Hello, I have absolutely no idea how HTML works, but I have a friend who's making a website, and ideally, we would have a list of websites, and when you click the "random" button, it will randomly go to one of the websites in the list. Is there a simple way of going about doing this? Thanks. I'm a noob so please forgive me if this is a stupid question or if the info is listed somewhere else. I really did try and find it on my own. I'm trying to make a simple website that incorporates amazon's free "astore". It has a search function included in the sidebar already but i don't like it and really want to set up my own. I found this search box code: Quote: <form action="http://astore.amazon.com/adbabel-20/search" method="get" target="_blank"> <input name="node" value="8" type="hidden"> <input name="keywords" size="12" value="" type="text"> <button type="submit" >Search</button> </form> it works well but is limited to searching only one category in my store (i have several). each category is assigned a "node" number. By changing the node value in the code I can change which category the box searches. I want to create a drop down list that, upon selection, changes the node value and thus the category that is to be searched. Can anyone let me know how this might be done? Dear I made an html newsletter with dreamweaver and I used the swap image behavior. I can view the result perfectly in explorer. Now I mailed it to my own mailbox (via explorer) and in outlook (and also in hotmail) the swap image effect doesn't appear.(the second photo is not shown) Is there a possibility to see this in my mailbox? I tried to paste the code into my outlook, but that doesn't work with the regular outlook, I only can view the source, not edit it. Thank you very much in advance! Kind regards Sandra HTML Code: <div class="contactlistdiv"> <select multiple="yes" name="send" class="contactlistone" size="6"> <option value="1" >hello</option><option value="2" >gee</option><option value="3" >gluba</option></select> </div> I am creating a list like the one above. When I style it with CSS it wont let me select any options! E.g if i float left or right(float:right; ) with CSS it wont work. Where as if I place it absolutely somewhere it will work. Problem is to get it exaclty where I want i need to float it. I have tried placing it inside a relatively placed div absolutely but it still wont let me select. I have also tried styling both classes contactlistdiv and contactlistone but it doesnt make a difference. Any help appreciated. Thanks. My apologies if I posted in the wrong forum, but I didn't know where else to post it, as it's not really "multimedia." I don't understand the difference between non-digest and digest mailing lists. I have a website for a record label, so I am using the "Mailman" program to set up a mailing list. It asks if I want my list members to be able to choose whether they want to receive emails immediately or in a batched digest, yes or no? If I choose no, it will default to batched digest. If I say yes, my list members will have to choose between the two, and I'm sure most people have no idea what the difference is. Why can't the default be non-digest? All I want is to send out the occasional email to tell the list members about a new album, and be able to receive replies from list members that everyone on the list (including myself) can read and re-reply if necessary. I don't even see the need to have it batched as a digest? I don't even really know what that does. Apparently, sends everything to you at a certain time at the end of the day? I'm very confused. I have a big list and I want to show on my webpage 6lines from that list randomly (when webpage is refreshed another 6 lines appear). can anyone help me with he code, how should the list look like so it works...or where can I find more info on this ? thanks I am making a website with a list inside list for my navigation bar. It looks good on safari(win/mac) and firefox but the list looks horrible in IE7.0(didnt check 6.0) I was wondering if anyone know what it could be HTML Code: Code: <div id="nav"> <img class="menupic" src="images/mainmenu.png" alt="Main Menu"/> <ul class="navli"> <li><a class="point" href="#"><img src="images/menu_findme.png" alt="findMe"/></a></li> <li> <ul class="navlinks"> <li><a href="#goto_facebook" id="facebook">- Facebook</a></li> <li><a href="#goto_myspace" id="myspace">- Myspace</a></li> <li><a href="#goto_youtube" id="youtube">- Youtube</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul class="navli"> <li><a class="point" href="#"><img src="images/menu_blog.png" alt="blog"/></a></li> <li> <ul class="navlinks"> <li><a href="#blogid2" id="blogid2">- Testing | May 01</a></li> <li><a href="#blogid1" id="blogid1">- Debut Album | Apr 30</a></li> <li><a href="#goto_blogarchive" id="blogarchive">- Archives</a></li> <li class="donthidethis"><ul class="navli donthidethiseither" style="padding:0;"> <li><a class="point" href="#">- Categories</a></li> <li><ul class="navlinks"> <li><a href="#goto_catid2" id="catid2">- Media</a></li><li><a href="#goto_catid1" id="catid1">- News</a></li><li><a href="#goto_catid3" id="catid3">- Off Topic</a></li><li><a href="#goto_catid4" id="catid4">- Tutorials</a></li> </ul></li> </ul></li> </ul></li> </ul> <ul class="navli"><li><a class="point" href="#"><img src="images/menu_eliasmusictv.png" alt="eliasMusic Tv"/></a></li> <li><ul class="navlinks"> <li><a href="#" id="coming">- Coming soon...</a></li> </ul></li> </ul> <ul class="navli"><li><a class="point" href="#"><img src="images/menu_about.png" alt="about"/></a></li> <li><ul class="navlinks"> <li><a href="#goto_biography" id="biography">- biography</a></li> </ul></li> </ul> <ul class="navli"><li><a class="point" href="#"><img src="images/menu_links.png" alt="links"/></a></li> <li><ul class="navlinks"> <li><a href="#" id="links">- Coming soon...</a></li> </ul></li> </ul> <ul class="navli"><li><a class="point" href="#"><img src="images/menu_contact.png" alt="contact"/></a></li> <li><ul class="navlinks"> <li><a href="#goto_contact" id="contactpage">contactForm</a></li> </ul></li> </ul> CSS Code: Code: #nav { float:right; width:195px; padding-left:20px; background:url("images/navback.png"); } #nav ul { list-style: none; margin-left:1px; border: none; } #nav .navli { padding-top:3px; padding-bottom:3px; } #nav .navlinks { padding-left:25px; } #nav .navlinks a,a:link { color:#262626; } #nav .navli img { margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:5px; } #nav .navlinks a:hover { color:#dadada; } #nav img.menupic { margin:20px 10px 5px 95px; } #nav a { font-size:14px; display:block; } #nav a.point { font-size:14px; font-weight:bold; } .navliover { background:url("images/navhover.jpg"); } Any help at all would be appriciated please I can show u the website via Private message if you are interested in helping Thanks in advance Reply With Quote Hello, I ran into this problem today in my Basic XHTML class, and it was enough to stump me and the instructor: if you want to put an unordered list in the middle of a page, but you want the list items to be left-aligned so the bullets are one on top of the other...how do you do it? I started with code something like <div align="center"> <ul type="disc"> <li>Wine</li> <li>Women</li> <li>Song</li> </ul> </div> This centers the list on the page, but it also centers each list item. I tried placing a <div align="left"> around the list items, individually and collectively, but depending on the positioning it either had no effect or it nullified the center attribute completely and gave me a left-aligned list on the left edge of the page. Attempts to change the style of the <li> tag, which I haven't done in months and was never all that good at, failed. I know I can do this in ten seconds by putting the list inside a one-cell table, and with much fiddling I could probably do it with a spacer GIF...but what's the 1.0 Strict way? |
