4 By default, when a ONEcount form is called it will display on its own landing page or as a pop-up. If, however, you want to embed a short form on a web page containing other content, e.g. display a newsletter sign-up form on your home page and/or article pages, you can include some javascript with an option object to do so.
5
6 This lesson provides direction on the steps to embed a form on a web page.
7
8 === 1. Include a div with id wherever you want the form to be embedded. ===
9
10 The id name can be whatever you choose, e.g. “oc-form” as in the example below.
11
12 In ONEcount, the height and width is set to 100% , so the height and width defined in the div will be the actual size of the form.
13 In the example below, the height and width will be 1500px.

16
17 === 2. Call the GCN object with options after the div. ===
18
19 **Include the script** – example shown below – **after the div.** Options are defined below the example.
20
21 **Example:**
22 (% style="color: rgb(0,128,128);" %)**<**(% style="color: rgb(63,127,127);" %) bgcolor="#D4D4D4">script(% style="color: rgb(0,128,128);" %)>(%%)

26
27 \\(% style="text-decoration: underline;" %)Options(%%):
28
29 **containerId :** This is a required option that must be included. It is the id of the div, created in Step 2 above, where the form will be embedded.
30
31 **domain :** This is a required option that must be included. This is your site domain where ONEcount is associated, so will precede your domain. (example: ab-admin.cde1234.com)
32
33 **type :** This is a required option that must be included. This option will determine what type of form to embed:
34
35 * a standard form,
36 * a lookup/login form, or
37 * a lookup form.
38
39 **NOTE that** GCN.onecount.form.embed(option); **must be placed on a new line OR alternatively, you can keep it on the same line and precede with a semicolon:**

112 === To style an embedded form: ===
113
114 [[image:attach:media_1478726466081.png||align="center"]]
115
116 Click on the "Source" buttonn rte of the Custom Header section of the form you're embedding.
117
118 This will open a pop-up where you can enter html/css to style the form. Be sure to include <style> </style> tags as shown below.
119
120 [[image:attach:media_1478726631145.png||align="center"]]
121
122 You either create your own css or modify the standard ONEcount form css. Please check your uploaded files in your ONEcount Intranet account for the frontend_form.css document which you can drop between the style tags and modify as needed. If you cannot find this document on the Intranet, please contact ONEcount to obtain it.
