4.1. Linking and Embedding

Linking to Your Form

To link to your form go to the Use page for your form.  At the URL Link area you should see a link that you can copy and paste to your website or send to users.

Embedding on Your Site

You have two options for using your form on another site: embedding the form in another page or downloading the full HTML. The easiest and least error-prone way is to use the embed method. If you embed the form with our embed code, you won't have to update the code every time you make changes to the form in the form builder. And since you can embed your form with only one Javascript tag, it's also a lot safer.  The embed method can be customized by using a style template or by using custom CSS on your website.

If you use the full HTML you can change any of the code in the document except for the form tags (<form>, <input>, <textarea>, <select>, <option>, etc.). It is important that the name and value attributes in these tags remain as-is or else your form might not work properly when submitted to FormSpring.com. Only expert webmasters should attempt to use the HTML embed instead of the javascript embed.  It is highly recommended that you test form submission thoroughly when hosting the form yourself.

To access the embed tag or the full HTML, go the Use page for your form and look in the Embed or HTML area.
