2008fund — Make Links and Get HTML

With ActBlue, you can build a gateway to your fundraising page on any website! If you blog about a candidate, toss in a contribution form. If your group sends out email newsletters, you can include a contribution form right in the e-mail.

New: get ActBlue graphics!

Single amount contribution form

This HTML generates a form for a single contribution amount. The amount entered in the box will be divided evenly among the candidates on your page. To duplicate this form:

My contribution: $

paste the following HTML into your webpage or email.

Custom amounts contribution form

Instead of a single amount, this form allows your visitors to specify individual contribution amounts for some or all of the candidates on your fundraising page.

VoteVets $
Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund $
Larry Kissell (NC-08) $
Jerry McNerney (CA-11) $
Martin Heinrich (NM-01) $
Tom Perriello (VA-05) $
Progressive Patriots Fund $
Mark Udall (CO-Sen) $
Steve Cohen (TN-09) $
Democracy for America $
Mark B. McCracken (PA-05) $

Again, the required HTML:

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.
