Printable View
I have some common html code/script that is replicated across a few pages (not all), and I use placeholders to embed those code. However, this requires me to update each and every placeholder object whenever I need to make changes to the code.
Is there a way to have the placeholder object use contents from a file, so that I only need to update that single file? I see only the options to replace the placeholder with a flash file or an image file, but not a code file.
Thanks in advance.
Is there anything wrong in using Web Properties > Website > HTML Code (head)?Quote:

You can save off CSS and JS by using separate files and "linking" them into each Placeholder. The format will be link: <link rel="stylesheet" href="index_htm_files/your_styles.css"/> & <script src="index_htm_files/your_code.js"></script>.Quote:

The approach would be to have any Shape on your page, select it and press Ctrl+Shift+A and attach each file separately.
If you consider this too awkward then what I would do is to upload the files with an FTP application into an upload folder of your choice; index_htm_files/ folder is still a workable option.
The alternative I would try is ensure the form is adaptive and only use one on a special page and use the Embed a website widget to access the same form across all variants.
The advantage this offers is the user's entered information should be retained in all views as there is only one form to present and one form to maintain.
