How do I add java script to VSD? I have this
<script src="http://remote.digitalgoodsstore.com/embed.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
that I need to add. The instructions I have are to "Include the JavaScript SDK on your page once, ideally right after the opening <body> tag" Is that even possible in VSD?

Hi Jen,
Try pasting the code into the body html of an HTML box and put it in the corner of your page out of the way and see if it works.

I've done that. I can't tell if it's working or not. When you click Buy Now, it's supposed to embed the cart - open up in a pop up without leaving the page.

Am I wrong?

Hi Jenifer, It appears that your JS code is inserted into the <head> and not the <body>, at least on your Home page. If it needs to be in the body go back into VSD and check your HTML block. There are two options there to insert code, <head> and <body> and make sure it is pasted to the <body>.

Then make sure to Edit/Add Files to add the .js and any other files needed to your VSD site. That way all the files will be uploaded when you publish your site.

Looks as though you have the script in the head as well as in the body. Remove the one in the head of the page and give it a try. The other thing to try is to insert the code in an html page made outside of VSD and use the add files to to add it to your site then code and iframe into your VSD page that you want it to be on. If this doesn't work I would ask the provider of the script what needs to be done.:)

Maybe this might work...
VSD builds its code to reflect the order of items placed on the page. I'd try starting with a blank page and make the script the very first thing on that page.

Thanks, I'll start with the blank page. Should be a good exercise for me. Thanks for all of the replies.

Hi.
Did you have any joy?
I'm trying to add HTML/JS code for Livefyre to a VSD website I'm working on and nothing gets displayed in preview. I'm not sure if it is just the preview not working...?

I tested the code on http://htmledit.squarefree.com/ and everything appears fine there. Just no luck with VSD.

Hence, wondered how you got on...

Hi Ross,

Along with adding the HTML code to VSD, you need to add the files.
Select Edit from the top menu, then select Add Files from the drop down.
Add the .js file, and any other file you may be adding.
After this, you should be able to preview the site.
When you publish the site, those files will upload along with the rest of the site :cool:

Many scripts don't work from your local pc but are fully functional after you upload and preview online.:)
