Hello all,
I am a novice webbuilder and am trying to help our local arts society. I created their website but they would like to link their newsletter stored in folders on Mail Chimp.
Mail Chimp provides the following (example) snipped of code to do this...
---------------------------
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.display_archive {font-family: arial,verdana; font-size: 12px;}
.campaign {line-height: 125%; margin: 5px;}
//-->
</style>
<script language="javascript" src="//porganarts.us9.list-manage.com/generate-js/?u=273b9589750bf8a31e572df48&fid=28849&show=10" type="text/javascript"></script>
---------------------
I created an HTML Layout grid and inserted the above code and did a preview (didn't publish) and it takes a very long time for the browser to open and nothing comes up. I am not sure what I expected, but I didn't expect a blank screen.
Am I doing this completely wrong? Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks in advance,
- Bill

Re: inserting HTML code snipped from Mail Chimp
How are you trying to insert the code? When inserting code it needs to be inserted correctly. In your example the <style></style> part should be placed between the <head>placed here</head> tags. The same can be applied to the javascript but in some instances it may be required to be inserted at the end between <body>placed here</body>.
You can also try using the HTML Object for the javascript and as for the css as mentioned and see what works or not. Note you may need to publish rather than use Preview às it may be a requirement of the script to work.

It looks like the script assumes that is used on a server, so it will probably not work in local preview.I created an HTML Layout grid and inserted the above code and did a preview (didn't publish) and it takes a very long time for the browser to open and nothing comes up.
Because the URL of the script has no prefix:
Code: Select all
