    Default Ebay Challenge Lol

    OK would like to use some of Wd's capabilities to design a really good looking ebay template, no I can host the images on my own site and change the image url through simply find and replace however......

    Ebay is a strange animal as Im sure most of you know and they hate the use of certain types of Javascript, I have just done a test page and every time I try to upload it via turbolister its telling me it cant upload because Im using "unauthorised javascrip" lol dont you just love em.

    Anyone any ideas?? Would really appreciate it if this could be solved Xara could produce some real kick as* templates for me

    Thanks in advance

    Ok Ive just had a go with a basic background and header no nav bar and it resulted in the error, the html I tried to upload was:
    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.designithostit.com/ebay/roe.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.designithostit.com/ebay/default.css" />
    </head>
    <body style="background-color: #E4F1EF">
    <!--[if IE]><div class="xr_ap" id="xr_xr" style="width: 800px; height: 600px; top:0px; left:50%; margin-left: -400px; clip: rect(0px 800px 600px 0px);"><![endif]-->
    <!--[if !IE]>--><div class="xr_ap" id="xr_xr" style="width: 800px; height: 600px; top:0px; left:50%; margin-left: -400px; clip: rect(0px, 800px, 600px, 0px);"><!--<![endif]-->
    <script type="text/javascript">var xr_xr=document.getElementById("xr_xr")</script>
     <img class="xr_ap" src="http://www.designithostit.com/ebay/0.png" alt="" style="left: 5px; top: 6px; width: 796px; height: 595px;"/>
     <img class="xr_ap" src="http://www.designithostit.com/ebay/1.png" alt="" style="left: 5px; top: 3px; width: 794px; height: 159px;"/>
     <div id="xr_xo0" class="xr_ap" style="left: 0; top: 0; width: 800px; height: 100px; visibility: hidden;">
      <a href="" onclick="return(false);">
      </a>
     </div>
     <div id="xr_xd0"></div>
    </div>
    <!--[if lt IE 7]><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.designithostit.com/ebay/png.js"></script><![endif]-->
    <script type="text/javascript">xr_aeh()</script>
    </body>
    The resulting error from turbo lister was:

    Error- Your listing cannot contain javascript (.".cookie","cookie(","replace)",IFRAME,META or includes), cookies or base href
    any ideas what they are going on about? Any ideas on a workaround? It may be something that just isn't possible but hey you never know until you play

    Any help appreciated

    The HTML code is only generated when the pages are exported. There is no code editor but snippets of code can be added via place holder objects.

    Guys, you need to remember that Xara software is WYSIWYG....that means that it is NOT and HTML editor. It is possible to edit HTML after exporting the pages BUT not a very good idea. The reason being you will have to do that every single time you make a change to the page.

    You have got an option to include HTML snippets via placeholder, but that's been very well documented on this forum.

    If what you're trying to do can be done with snippets, then I would do it that way ... I would consider building the ebay template completely graphically within Xara.....with inclusion of some snippets if necessary.

    I don't know if that makes any sense for what you're trying to do.....

    All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.

    I think they mean that your page cannot contain javascript from an external file. You might get around it by pasting the contents of roe.js file into the head section, and removing the ie7 fix script - png.js - reference.

    I have done this successfully, it requires that you remove all external js references, and very limited internal scripts can be run, I removed all the js
    It did however allow the .css files to be included.
