Thread: Helllllllppp!!!

OK, I have been having a problem with an autoresponder not working properly, so I moved to a new provider, deleted my sites and rebuilt my capture page and thankyou page. I thought it easier to start clean and did not know how to delete HTML. So now I have the HTML code installed but when I try to check the form it doesn't go to my thankyou page. Do I have to do something else? I have lost it!!!!

My new provider is Get Response.
I have 2 pages my main page with the capture form in place and a second thankyou page called splash2. The properties of the form are Action: splash2.html with Multiform data selected. File extension of splash2 is html.

I have not added any php, as I don't think I have to or if I do I don't know how to generate that.

When I fill out the form it moves to my splash2 thankyou page but the form does not seem to be working.

Any clues?

Get Response response provides plug and play code...You build your forms directly online with them...Then you apply the finished code to your site.

Your form must NOT submit to splash2.html.
It must submit to the Get Response script and from there the visitors will be redirected back to your own page, splash2.html.

Get the code from get Response. Place it is a html box in your page, and you are done. While setting up your autoresponder in Get Response, set the return page to be " http://www.yourdomain.com/splash2.html "

Hi Naval,
When you say the return page do you mean the Confirmation or Error page URL or both?

Thanks
Russ

I mean the confirmation page. If you set it (in GetResponse) to be your "splash2.html" page, it will return there after the submission has taken place.

Naval,
I have done all as suggested and the form doesn't work, I do not get an email to confirm and after filling out the form it doesn't go to my confirmation/thankyou page.

This is the form code:

<!-- GetResponse subscription form | start -->

<form action="http://www.getresponse.com/cgi-bin/add.cgi" method="post" id="GRSubscribeForm" accept-charset="UTF-8">

Do I have to have anything in the Action box of Form Properties?

Hopefully I am getting there.

No, just paste all of the above code in a html box in your page, i tested it and it works just fine.

Naval,
It is pasted and the site has been published but when I fill out the form I don't get an email from Get Response to confirm.

It still doesn't take me to the splash2 page either.
Do I need a .php?

Better still, what can I send you for you to fix it for me? I will pay whatever the rate is.

That way I will be able to see the pages in BV so I will be able to do others correctly. I may have something wrong in BV
