Method 2: Add a Text Link to Your E-Mail Letter

A hyperlink may be inserted into an e-mail letter to prospective respondents.

The respondents will receive your e-mail requesting their participation and asking them to click on the hyperlink.

To create a hyperlink we would:
1. We will work with you to develop your e-mail letter.
2. When finished, we will add your survey address.

3. When completed successfully, your survey address will be included in your invitation letter, underlined and linked to your survey. When the link is clicked, a new browser window will be opened and the survey is displayed.

Method 3: Adding a Button Link to Your E-Mail

The sample grey button shown below can be added to your e-mail message.

Note that some e-mail programs are not capable of viewing or inserting graphics as part of the e-mail.
If there is no button viewable as part of this message, then your e-mail client is not graphics capable.
If you desire this option, be sure that your e-mail program is capable of sending and receiving graphics.
As a fail-safe for those who will receive your e-mail and do not have a graphics capable e-mail clients, we recommend you to use both a text link and a graphics link (methods 2 and 3 simultaneously).

The button will then appear in your document as below.

2. The survey button will be activated as a link to your survey

A web link can be inserted by you into the HTML of your web page. The HTML for this link appears as:

<BR><A HREF=" Insert Survey Address Here "> The Text You Want to Appear For the Link </A>

In this case the words "The Text You Want to Appear For the Link" would appear on your web site as a link that would connect to your survey.
When a respondent clicks on the link, the browser opens the survey.

Method 5: Open a Separate Pop-Up Browser Window From a Web Site Link

A web link can be inserted into the HTML of your web page. This java-script opens separate browser window for taking the survey and leaves your original browser window pointing at your web site. The HTML for this link appears as:

<script language="javascript">
<!--
function openWin( windowURL, windowName, windowFeatures ) {
return window.open( windowURL, windowName, windowFeatures ) ;
}
// -->
</script>

<A href="javascript: newWindow = openWin( ' Insert Survey Address Here ', '', 'toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menuBar=0,scrollBars=0,resizable=0' ); newWindow.focus()"> Internet Attitude Survey </A>

The first part of the link in quotes includes the address for your survey and the second "Internet Attitude Survey" is the text that you would like to have your respondent click on.
