Hi there, I am a HTML and DNN newbie so apologies if the answer to this is painfully obvious.

I'm trying to embed this form in the text in a HTML/Text module on my website;

<form method="get" action="http://www.writetothem.com/">
<table border="0" bgcolor="#cccc99">
<tr>
<td><b><a href="http://www.writetothem.com/">Your Politicians</a></b>
<br><input name="pc" type="text" size="13" value="Your Postcode">
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Unfortunately it doesn't work... it just redirects back to the same page... any ideas?

</form>

You will need to find a forms module - DNN works within a form itself so you cannot use a form in the text editor.

There are some forms around that are able to be configured - have a look on the third party modules page for a start.

So it's not you, you can't have forms running just dropping the code in.

Thanks, had a look at ODS Form but it's not really suitable... using DNN4.0.2 but most of the free modules seem to be for v3.

Doh.

Been thinking about this and I don't think I made my point clearly enough.

The form I quoted is designed to redirect a user from my website (DNN based) to another website (writetothem.com).

If I use a DNN form module it'll only let me create a module to have the user fill in form to my sites DB. That isn't what I need, the redirection is the crucial part!

I've tried putting it in an IFrame (as just a regular bit of HTML) but that isn't really what I'm after either as it then redirects with the whole remote website displayed in the IFrame module's area.

Any suggestions most welcome!

This would work.  Make sure when you add it to your HTML module that you have it in Basic Text Box and I would probably set it to Raw.

<table border="0" bgcolor="#cccc99"><tr><td><b><a href="http://www.writetothem.com/">Your Politicians</a></b><br><input id="pc" name="pc" type="text" size="13" value="Your Postcode"><input type="button" value="Go" onclick="window.location.href='http://www.writetothem.com/?pc=' + document.getElementById('pc').value;"></td></tr></table>
