What is your approach to integrating third-party elements (forms, review widgets, etc.)?
Sometimes, part of the third-party form or widget can get cut off. Or the page does not expand to adjust to the size of the third-party element as you move through breakpoints.
I used to think this was just the nature of tossing in a third-party element/widget, but I've noticed that some sites integrate these third-party elements without an issue.
Any advice on how you approach this would be very helpful!

Re: Third-party integrations
In general any external script(s) can be integrated into the software without issues. But if the script (code) used isn't responsive in its own way then it will not get displayed correctly in the breakpoint you add it to. The code/widget will simply be added "asis" as the software has no way to know if it is responsive or not. This is were it is assumed if you wish to use the likes of external scripts/widgets then you have some knowledge of how they work and how to resolve any coding issues they may have.
You can use the following to add external scripts HTML Object along with Page HTML using the likes of Between <head></head> tags* After<body> Before</body> each script will have it own required positioning and as previously you should understand how to place correctly or it will or break the layout of the html generated.
If you look at extensions they are in general just external scripts (unless hand coded) which are wrapped for easy integration into the software so if they work then any script/widget you wish to use will also work it just knowing how to use.

As mentioned by BaconFries, any script that works elsewhere will also work in WWB.

Re: Third-party integrations
The problem is deff me. I have not mastered this yet.
Im just trying to learn how to do this better. I had a responsive form that a client likes to use because it ties into their CRM.
The form always looked right on desktop, but when I would move through the breakpoint - part of the bottom of the form would just get cut off.
The form itself was responsive.
So I was just looking to see if anyone had tips to better handle it.
I'll take a look at some the the things BaconFries said in the last post.

Re: Third-party integrations
Without really seeing the issue or the code, it's hard to offer a workaround. Do you have a link to the page in question?
