Better use of the API

  • This plugin does what the iContact Widget cannot do:

    It submits the form, and returns the success/fail message, via AJAX without redirecting the user to any other page than the one you’re on.

    This is obviously ideal if you want the form to appear and submit in a lightbox overlay, for example. It’s amazing, I tried for three days to hack other widgets to do this, and I could not figure it out.

    Author says this plugin is “beta”, which only means he’s a perfectionist. This is the best written iContact plugin out there, in my opinion. I wish i just tried it out before hacking for the last three days.

  • Hi,
    Maybe you can answer this. The iContact developer hasn’t made any comment since my posting 4 days ago.

    …

    I have installed the plugin and want it at the bottom of the Home page. I put the shortcode in the html (text editor) for that page. The form works great.

    However, I don’t understand how to do the CSS. The form needs styling. I went to Appearance then over to Edit CSS. I pasted the CSS code from the plugin settings. There were several “warnings” that the element was overqualified, so I got rid of each div. The stylesheet won’t save (with or without the divs).

    I am using Hum template, which is a child of Twenty Eleven.

    Ideas or suggestions?
    THANKS!
