Subscribing to a Campaign Monitor list using AJAX and a really basic animation on success
<!-- 1. Take your Campaign Monitor subscribe form as generated from within your account: -->
<form action="http://myaccount.createsend.com/t/r/s/aljhk/" method="post" id="subForm">
<div>
<label for="name">Name:</label><br /><input type="text" name="cm-name" id="name" /><br />
<label for="aljhk-aljhk">Email:</label><br /><input type="text" name="cm-aljhk-aljhk" id="aljhk-aljhk" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Subscribe" />
</div>
</form>
<!-- 2. Add a success message -->
<div id="successMessage" style="display:none;">
Thanks for signing up!
</div>
<!-- 3. And some JavaScript -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('#subForm').submit(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.getJSON(
this.action + "?callback=?",
$(this).serialize(),
function (data) {
if (data.Status === 400) {
alert("Error: " + data.Message);
} else { // 200
// #subForm picks the element which has
// an id of subForm (ie our form), and
// then we slide it up, over 400 milliseconds.
$('#subForm').slideUp(400, function() {
// #successMessage picks out the div that
// contains the success message so that we
// can animate it
$('#successMessage').slideDown();
});
}
});
});
});
</script>
<!-- 4. You have an AJAX subscribe form! -->
