Inserting something into the Head section of a web page

Introduction

On a few occasions e.g. when setting up a members area on your web site using our Registration System tool, it is necessary to insert some lines of code into the 'head' section of your web pages. There are basically two ways to do this:

  1. By modifying the HTML source code directly (a slightly more advanced technique)
  2. By using a web page designer tool

Inserting a line of code directly into the HTML source code

Consider a simple web page whose HTML source code is given below:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<br>
<br>
<p align="center">
HELLO
</p>
</body>
</html>

Inserting lines of code into the head section simply means that the lines of code must be inserted between the <head> </head> tags. For example, let's say that you need to insert the following line of code

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="http://www.poppydog.com/ma/28_on.js"></SCRIPT>

into head section of the simple web page shown above. This means that you must insert the line of code between the <head> </head> tags to give:

<html>
<head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="http://www.poppydog.com/ma/28_on.js"></SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>
<br>
<br>
<p align="center">
HELLO
</p>
</body>
</html>

Inserting a line of code using a web page designer tool

Web page designer tools often allow you to insert code into the head section of your web page without you having to look at the HTML code at all. We illustrate how to do this using PageBuilder. Other tools will be similar and the hope is that you'll be able to figure things out for the particular tool that you are using (see note below)

Step 1
Open the web page that you wish to edit.

Step 2
Click on the Format menu item (see below)



Step 3
A popup window appears. Simply enter the line into the 'Head Script' section (see below)



Step 4
Click OK and then save your web page. That's it, your done.

Note: If you would like instructions for a particular tool other than PageBuilder, then please send an email to thecrew@poppydog.com and we'll try and provide specific help.
