HTML Snippet

 

The HTML Snippet allows you to add a small piece of HTML, JavaScript and CSS code inside the content area on your site.  You can use this functionality to easily integrate PayPalTM Buy Now buttons or Shopping cart within your site or add external tools such as Google Analytics, Google AdSense and others. More advanced users can also use the HTML Snippet to integrate small custom-programmed tools and functions inside their BuildSitesNow website.

 

The HTML Snippet cannot be used for modifying the design, installing back-end scripting on the server or as a substitute of BuildSitesNow's editing interface for managing website content.

 

The HTML Snippet, like the Hits Counter, Mailing List, Forum/Blog and Form, is one of BuildSitesNow's Advanced elements.  Unlike the Basic content elements such as Text and Image, Image Gallery, etc. which are always available as options for Adding in Admin View, the Advanced elements are selected for a particular working session.

 

To start working with the HTML Snippet you should first enable it from the list of Advanced Elements:

  • Roll-over the Control Panel icon in the top right corner in Admin view and select Advanced Elements

  • In the dialog that opens select HTML Snippet and press Update

  • The option for adding a HTML Snippet will now appear under the menu option of Content Element icons on the page.

  • Note that the next time you login and wish to be able to add an HTML Snippet you should repeat these steps.

 

After you have enabled the HTML Snippet from Advanced Elements options, go to the page where you wish to add the code, roll-over the  Area icon or and in the Add menu select   HTML Snippet.

 

Paste the code inside the HTML Code box. Press Add. The content will be displayed on the page.

To edit the code of an already added HTML Snippet - click the  HTML Snippet icon.

 

When adding custom code inside an HTML Snippet users are advised to double-check its correctness as faulty code pasted in the Snippet can spoil the appearance of a site or cause problems with the proper functioning of BuildSitesNow's editing tools.
