Creating a Rollover javascript with form embedded

    Hello,

    Please can you help?!

    I am trying to create a rollover image, which when the mouse goes over will popup in the same window a 'join mailing list' gravity form. Something similar in simplicity as...
    http://jdstiles.com/java/imagemenu.html

    How would I go about finding the form code and creating it so it is embedded in the rollover popup. I am not an expert at scripting, so any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

    Currently I am just using a simple jpg which links to the mailing list, here is my site - http://bit.ly/bLVtoD

    Many thanks,

    J

    You can find documentation on the proper way to embed a form, either via a shortcode or using the function call here. If you do use the function call method, remember to enqueue the scripts manually by putting the code snippet in your functions.php file.

    I'm not sure how well the script you referenced would work with a form. To begin with, the window would have to persist so you could fill out the form.

    You might be better off using a modal (fancybox, etc.) window for the form than the mouseover script.

    It should give you the desired effect and should be more flexible.
