The gory details

You're free, of course, to change the form around and tweak the formatting and text. The only important parts are:

  • <form ...>
    Don't mess with this line.
  • <input name="..." ...>
    The important thing about the input boxes are the name and id fields, which can't be changed. You're free to change the size, formatting, label, etc.
  • <input type="hidden" name="list" ... >
    Indicates that the contribution should be credited to your fundraising page. Don't adjust this line.
