Today, I am going to share with you a Custom Contact Form by MBT for Blogger Blogs. Learn how to customize Contact Form input fields, how to add icons to it, how to add a "Clear Button" and play several tricks with your custom form. This form is built using XHTML Get or Post Methods unlike PHP Forms which are used widely today. 

3. Customizing The Contact Form - The Fun Part!

Now you will need to create a Static Page where we will add the HTML code for our new contact form.
  1. Go To blogger > Pages
  2. Choose a Blank Page
  3. Give it any title you like. I recommend "Contact Us"
  4. Switch to its HTML mode and paste the following HTML code inside it:
<div class='form'>
<!-- Custom Contact Form By MBT Starts -->
<form name='contact-form'>
<!-- Name Field -->
<input class='contact-form-name' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-name' name='name' value="Name" size='30' type='text' onblur='if (this.value == &quot;&quot;) {this.value = &quot;Name&quot;;}' onfocus='if (this.value == &quot;Name&quot;) {this.value = &quot;&quot;;}' />
<p></p>
<!-- Email ID Field -->
<input class='contact-form-email' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-email' name='email' value="Email ID"  size='30' type='text' onblur='if (this.value == &quot;&quot;) {this.value = &quot;Email ID&quot;;}' onfocus='if (this.value == &quot;Email ID&quot;) {this.value = &quot;&quot;;}'/>
<p></p>
<!-- Message Field -->
<textarea class='contact-form-email-message'  id='ContactForm1_contact-form-email-message' name='email-message'  value='Leave Your Message..'  onblur='if (this.value == &quot;&quot;) {this.value = &quot;Leave Your Message..&quot;;}' onfocus='if (this.value == &quot;Leave Your Message..&quot;) {this.value = &quot;&quot;;}'></textarea>
<p></p>
<!-- Clear Button -->
<input class='contact-form-button contact-form-button-submit MBT-button-color' type='reset' value='Clear'/> 
<!-- Send Button --> 
<input class='contact-form-button contact-form-button-submit MBT-button-color' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-submit' type='button' value='Send'/>
<p></p>
<!-- Validation -->
<div style='text-align: center; max-width: 222px; width: 100%'>
<p class='contact-form-error-message' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-error-message'></p>
<p class='contact-form-success-message' id='ContactForm1_contact-form-success-message'></p>
</div>
</form>
<!-- Custom Contact Form By MBT Ends -->
</div>

    5.  Don't switch to Compose Mode of your Blogger Editor else the code will get messed up due to your Editor settings. Save and Publish your Page.
   Now if you visit your contact page you will see the default contact form with blue button. Its time to customize its default styles.
Customizing The Form:
  1. Go To Blogger > Template
  2. Backup your Template
  3. Click "Edit HTML"
  4. Search for </head>  and just above it paste the following CSS code:

<style>

The above Stylesheet will work just fine with all browsers including Internet Explorer. The code has been made compatible to work fine with all major browsers like IE, Mozilla and Webkit browsers.
  • To change button colors edit the class .MBT-button-color
  • To change the button color on mouse hover edit the class .MBT-button-color:hover  and for active mode edit .MBT-button-color:active
