Hi. I'm trying to create a registration page for our customers to register for a trial to our service. Through salesforce.com I've generated a web-to-lead html that is supposed to let potential customers fill out this form and then we'll receive notice through salesforce. Only trouble is I don't know what to do with the html.
I've tried copying and pasting the html in a custom module, but I know that I'm missing a few steps. Also, I've tried the Joomla login and associated registration page, but we don't need our customers to gain access to our website.
I'm brand new at this, so any help or ideas with basic instructions would be much appreciated. Our temporary website is: www.aisdata.com/shiptracks.com/access/trial-registration . I also have the generated html available if that would help.
Thank you.

If you have the form already coded as a stand alone page, it's easy to wrap it into Joomla! Before all the fancy map extensions came out, I use to wrap custom google maps with overlays. One can wrap entire stand alone php applications into Joomla with excellent results.
[for example the php pixel wall app seen here bridged and wrapped into Joomla! www.joomlawebmasters.org ]
To wrap a stand alone page, put the page in the joomla/root and then use >main menu>new menu link>wrapper> and set up the URL to your page. The page can exist anywhere though, you can even wrap whole external sites.
Modules in general don't publish into the Content Area unless you are using the {loadposition}. Embedding "serious" code into a Joomla! article or module can create some nasty buggers and make your mootools, javascript and ajax freak out. There are also custom code Joomla modules/wrappers out there that will handle custom code better then the default Joomla! custom html module.
If you need the form to communicate with Joomla! though [users, points, loged in, et al], you might want to consider K2 or a form creation component/extension.

drsawbones,
Thank you for your reply! I've followed your advice and created a stand alone page at www.aisdata.com/shiptracks.com/registration/form.html with salesforce generated html. I tried adding <head>, <html>, <form>... but am not sure if I entered these correctly.
Then I made a wrapper and am accessing it from www.aisdata.com/shiptracks.com/access/trial-registration . Trouble is, the html is coming up, not the form. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks again.
