Edit and paste the code into the module
To build the embeddable form, follow these steps:
- Replace the Enter Address Here text in the code below with your physical address. (Be sure to include the quotation marks around the address.)
- Copy the entire code (which now includes your address).
- Paste the code into the Embed Settings dialog.
<form action="http://maps.google.com/maps" method="get" target="_blank"> <br> Enter your starting address: <br> <input type="text" name="saddr" /> <br> <input type="hidden" name="daddr" value="Enter Address Here" /> <br> <input type="submit" value="Get Directions" /> <br> </form>
Once finished, click the green Save button in the Embed Settings dialog. The following form will now appear on your site:
As a final step, don't forget to Publish the page.
NOTE: If you'd like to embed the directions form among other content (instead of in it's own module), you can use the Text/HTML module to embed the form instead of the Embed module. Either method will allow you to achieve the same result.
