HTML Form Help

Help! My friend, Rebekah, said you could help!! I am not the least bit familiar with HTML, but I am working on a form with Get Response and I am not pleased with the results!

I would the the exterior box smaller (and changing the 260 width does not help) and I would like some type of color in the background. It just looks so plain and all the others I've seen look so attractive!

Below is the code. Looking forward to your response!!



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

<tr>
<td>
<label for="GRCategory2">Your Name</label>:
</td>
<td><input type="text" name="category2" size="14" id="GRCategory2" /></td>
</tr><tr>
<td><label for="GRCategory3">Your E-Mail</label>:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="category3" size="14" id="GRCategory3" /></td>
</tr>

</table>
<input type="submit" value="Free Instant Access!" />

This one is pretty easy (I hope). All you need to do is add the background color into your table code. Like change this:

<table>

To something like this:

<table BGCOLOR="#EDEDED">

That should make it gray, although you can change the color by changing the letters and numbers. If that doesn't work please let me know, because you might have to put that in other parts of the code.

Thank you for the information. The code you provided changed the color for the box around the name and email request. I was wondering, though, is there any way to change the color of the entire box (rather than just the field/box the requested information) around and can we made the box smaller. If you'd like, please feel free to check out the site and you might get a better feel for what I am talking about.

Thanks again for your help!!!

The size would be controlled by editing the number that comes after size="". The color of the box.......hmmm now that I'm not so sure. Did the other code not change all the color inside the box? It should have changed the background color of the box.

It changed the color in the smaller boxes (First Name, Email) but not the larger box. I would really like to figure out how to change the larger box as well as make it smaller. I messed with the #'s like you suggested, but it only changed the smaller boxes (again, First name, email). If this is a losing battle, just let me know!!!

Thanks,

Have you got this box up on a page somewhere? It might help if I could actually see it. Wink

Yes, of course! www.SmartandHealthyLiving.com

I think I have just resigned to the fact that we won't be able to change it, but if you have any suggestions, I am all ears!!

Thanks,

Betsy
