Fine Tuning
Including the NetSuite Online Form as a Frame
Within Your Existing Web Page

1. With Microsoft FrontPage, or your web site editing software, create a rectangular Frame.
     Insert menu, Inline Frame

2. Set Initial Page to your URL as provided by NetSuite.

3. Stretch the grey rectangular frame to be large enough to show all the fields on the form, plus the Submit button.

4. Go to your Web site and try out the form, for example:
    www.CICorp.com/ContactUs

It is suggested that you add an "Interest" custom field to your Customer & Lead Form, so the potential customer can select from a drop down list of your Items for Sale or Service. 

It is suggested that you have a "Thank You" page to confirm that the form has been sent.

5. Note that the Online Customer Form using NetSuite's web server appears to be a form within your own web page on your web server.

For example, you can integrate the NetSuite Online Customer Form with your existing page.
