html

[artgall]

Hi I would like to place some code in the page. I want to add a guestbook and a counter to a website. Do you have a suggestion on how to do this.

If you do a search in the help for html, just as you titled your thread here, the first result will be the "placeholder tab" which will tell you a whole lot about this feature in general, which allows you to paste in pretty much whatever code you want.

Also, if you do a forum search here for iframe, you will come up with quite a number of threads telling how to code/use one.

These two things (probably combined) will allow you to do just what you are asking.

Does that lead you in the right direction?

Make sure you place the code in the correct placeholder entry firled:

'Replace with HTML code'




See attached *.xar file (which you can drag and drop into you own document 'as is' if you wish)

HI I tried all of what you said to do. I put the info in the right place and it still says to highlight the website link. So I then updated Web Designer 6 and tried again. I allowed me to apply and then I tried to view it and it would not do it. So I tried to publish it and it wouldn't allow it so. I had to shut down and restart and the web was ok then. Something seems to be wrong with my place holder. I tried to copy and paste into the page and it came up asking a whole bunch of things I needed to do to paste so wasn't sure on that. I don't understand why when I try to put it in the place holder it doesn't work. Do I need to make a special box for it or something. I am very new at Web Designer and feel absolutely stupid here. Could you please help on this one more time. Thanks and appreciate your quick responses.

I finally managed to paste the one that you sent. I shut down the website and when I brought it back there was a place in the drop down that asked to paste a place holder so I did and walla there it was. Now I just need to know if there is something I need to do on the page itself to make it accept placeholder html. I am going to make a gustbook also and want to be able to do this my self. If you could explain what I need to do to put the placeholder info on the page I would appreciate it. Hope this makes sense.

slavelle - Sometimes you have to give a man a pole before you can teach him to fish.

Steve - I have to post this since I did it before I scrolled down and saw your screen shot.

A guest book is a bit trickier. You may need to set it up on web-based site then add it to a iframe. See Creating Psuedo Frames (Steve's tutorial for creating iframes).

Hi the guest book has code just like the counter. I clicked on the link you sent and it seems a little beyond me. I am dissappointed that I cannot just add code to the page. I can do this in all of my other programs and it seems as though this designer may be just a bit too much for me. I don't understand how the counter works and can't get the code for the guestmap to work. This is the code is something wrong with it.

I'm a little confused as to why you are having difficulties with this, the explanations so far seem very clear and simple.

However, perhaps seeing how I deal with adding a html placeholder from your code may further enlighten you
