How Do I Use a Link or Button to Trigger My Lightbox Form?

By default, the Lightbox option in the Web Form Generator generates a form that automatically appears when the page it’s published to loads.

With some customization, you can trigger a button or link to load the form instead of having it load immediately. Try this demo.

How to Trigger a Lightbox with a Link or Button

Go to your account’s Web Form page.
Create a new form or edit an existing one.
Set the “Form Type” to “Lightbox”, then save and publish the form.
Paste the following HTML in the head section of your page:

<script type="text/javascript">var hide_awf_Form = true;</script>
* This must be inserted above your form’s HTML
Add the following link to your page. Or, create your own button or link and include the “onclick” attribute from this one:

<a href="#" onclick="awf_Form_.showForm(); return false;">Subscribe to my Email Newsletter.</a>
Publish your page. When you click on the link/button, your lightbox will appear.
