Configuring Autoresponder with Confirmation Page in WordPress
I use iContact as my autoresponder provider and although I have been able to have iContact generate HTML code for creating my webform, I still need to have the submit button take the visitor to the confirmation page of my WordPress website: http://www.empoweredtoprofit.com
I am in the process of adding content, but the pages that I upload through the WP C-panel are not seen once the submit button is clicked. I get the WP theme pages which are not suitable. I need my confirmation page to be seen immediately after submission. Can someone revise the code?
This is my confirmation page link: http://empoweredtoprofit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/thankyou-conf-dreamsmanisto.htm
<style type="text/css">
#SignUp .signupframe {
border: 1px solid #000000;
background: #AFF2E5;
color: #555011;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://app.icontact.com/icp/loadsignup.php/form.js?c=517920&l=23242&f=3076"></script>
<a href="http://www.icontact.com" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><font size="2">Email Marketing by iContact</font></a>
Scratch the last part of my question, I reread your question.
Did you set that link in iContact as the link to your thank you page?
iContact.com appears to be down at the moment, I can't login and confirm where you set it up, but you set that page inside of iContact.so it creates a hidden form field in the html of the form the javascript creates.
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://empoweredtoprofit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/thankyou-conf-dreamsmanisto.htm" />
There is no way to add that code outside of iContact if you are using iContact's javascript to create your form.

Hi gwkq:
The theme and styling of the page is not important as obtaining the form results from the page that has iContact generated form code. The order should be: Sign-up form > iContact > Conf page.
It makes sense that the code cannot be revised outside of iContact's coding because I need to collect the information from sign-ups for the database in iContact. Once iContact receives the form results and add it to the database, (click submit), it would be great to have my plain confirmation page show up after submission so that the visitor can continue on to the affiliate site to complete purchase. If you need my logon info, send your email to clientservices.js@gmail.co
Thank you very much.

Also, the symbol } on line 7, is that a break between paragraphs like "br" in html?
No, the } is a closing bracket for the { on line 4 that declares some basic styling rules.
Is icontact.com working for you today? I've tried from home and work and am getting a Network Timeout error so it wouldn't matter which login I tried.... their web site isn't showing.
All the javascript is doing is pulling your form's html from icontact and displaying it in your browser. Personally, I use the hrml code they provide and make it xhtml compliant. Mainly because I don't want icontact slowing down the loading time of my site if there is a problem loading that script.

Actually, iContact has worked all day, everyday. I have not had any problems.
Ok. I will try to make it xhtml compliant but how to do that with Word Press? I can do it with Dreamweaver because it does it for me.
Also, will making it xhtml compliant take the form directly to the conf page upon submission while providing the form results to iContact?

Great! Thanks! I think it will. I will let you know by the end of the day.

If it is any consolation, you are sane. iContact servers are down.
I am thinking of going with Aweber or InfusionSoft. Will instructions be the same for these
autoresponder providers?

Sign Up Form > Confirmation Page > Submit to iContact
If that is correct, do you want the confirmation page to look like a page/post inside your theme, or just a separate page with its on html and styling?
