QUESTION:

I'm kinda stuck. I am using Squarespace  for both of our sites. They don't offer any PHP so there are several  functions I can't utilize. Anthony was seeing if you guys could offer  a solution for branding my sign-up page and member look-up page  through the "CLOUD" let me know when you have time if this is  possible. Thanks for all the work you guys do. I think this product is great!

ANSWER:

I think your best solution is to include the pages without branding inside an iFrame within your Squarespace site, so that the "branding" remains as part of your headers, and you also keep your navigation on the page. (This is one of the reasons why the "non-branded" / "Option 1" exists: for iFrame / Wrapper inclusion on content-managed sites.)

For Squarespace, I found a couple links that show that others have done this:

and here are some basic instructions for iFrames:

For Joomla users, use a "wrapper":

Joomla 1.5:

Joomla 1.0.x:

In either case, you can then use a URL with parameters, according to the instructions on the site:
