I am trying to create a new skin and noticed that dnn does not like forms in the skin. I would like to include a simple form to gather an email address for our newsletter. The form code that I am using was provided by our third party email marketing company. This is the only way that I can gather emails and have it automatically saved on my email hosting company's server.

Any suggestions how to get this form working?

That's not entirely true.  The ASP.Net technology does not like to have more than 1 form on the page.  The page itself is for all intensive purposes already a form - a web form.  However, that does not mean that there are not ways around it.  For instance, you could generate the HTML form dynamically using JavaScript.  That is a bit more complicated, but your skin, DNN, and ASP.Net would all be happy with it.

There is plenty of information out there on how to generate a form at runtime using JavaScript.

I like the idea of just closing the form, but I am a little worried that it would mess up dnn some how. Are you sure it won't cause other problems?

Also, just to comment on a previous post, I would like to keep this form in the skin because I want it to show up on every page. I would prefer not having to add this form to every page that I create.
