                'width'                : '75%',
                'height'            : '75%',
                'autoScale'         : false,
                'transitionIn'        : 'none',
                'transitionOut'        : 'none',
                'type'                : 'iframe'
            });
            
            
        });
    </script>   
Copy the result and paste to template file right after the code in step 1 .
3, In previous post ,I told you tip to make Contact form for Blogger using Google Docs . You can read it here
When you created a contact form in Google docs ,it give you a link to form like this : http://spreadsheets.google.com/embeddedform?formkey=dGF2d0VzaXJfMUx3WWpaOXpJc1FKOWc6MA

Now ,what we need to do is add a link to pop-up contact form . Add this code to your template file where you need a 'contact me' link
<a id="contact_form" href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/embeddedform?formkey=dGF2d0VzaXJfMUx3WWpaOXpJc1FKOWc6MA">Contact me</a>
Remember to change the link to contact form in script above to your contact form link
Save template !
Ok,we are done.
So anytime we click on 'contact me' link ,a pop-up window which contain Google Docs contact form will appear .
Enjoy it ^^
