Integrating HTML (copy and paste) into a PI12 website

coosbaytv · Post by **coosbaytv** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 11:38 pm

Hey All!

Please excuse my ignorance on this but...

the site I created in PI is:www.coosbaytvhomes.com.

I have generated a button from PayPal that I am supposed to paste in the HTML code.

How would I go about doing this?

How do I figure out how to set it in the space that I want it to reside?

Personally, I never use PI to make a webpage, nor will I ever. Maybe it's time to sign up for a course on HTML...

Best bet is to open your HTML file with Windows Notepad and paste the text in there. Figuring out where to paste it is why it's handy to know HTML...

With any luck those who are familiar with making webpages with PI will wander in here shortly!

that is my hope!

I almost thought of emailing you directly on this but as it stands, it looks like that wouldn't have helped...

Thanks though,

Jay

Can you post here the paypal button code - or if it contains anything sensitive send me a PM. I will see if I can suggest a place to paste it.

Steve:

Thanks!

I should make myself a little more clear.

I know where I want to paste it and have made updates to the page.

Let me send you the new page fist and yes, I think the PayPal code has my info it. It is a link to a direct payment of the package I am selling.

will send in just a minute

Well, I guess that is not going to work...

is there a function to insert html in an existing web page?

if so, how?

? - I didn't receive anything from you?

Try this.
As mentioned by Robert (VikingAnimations) you will do this best by using Windows Notepad.

Firstly go to your existing web page http://www.coosbaytvhomes.com/
and then at the top of your web browser click
View | Source
This will now open your web page up in notepad and you can see the HTML.
Your web page is made up of a number of tables.
The start point of a table is defined with a tag named
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0">
The end of that table is defined with the tag
</TABLE>

Your piece of code need to be placed somewhere between those two tags.
The start of a table row is <TR> the end of a table row is </TR>

Try first of all typing a short word e.g. TEST somewhere in your code, save the page then view it in your browser to see where it now appears.
You should soon be able to work out where to place your piece of code.

Steve,

Great piece of advice!

I will start there.

Look in your HTML for the following and I have pasted where it looks like the extra bit needs to go. (Obviously I cannot see the extra bit you have so it's a best guess at my end)

<TR>
<TD COLSPAN="3" ROWSPAN="5"><IMG SRC="images/space.gif" WIDTH="36" BORDER="0" HEIGHT="287"></TD>
<TD COLSPAN="7" ROWSPAN="5"><IMG SRC="images/index_53.jpg" WIDTH="512" BORDER="0" HEIGHT="287"></TD>
It looks like the bit of code needs to go here or nearby
<TD COLSPAN="6" ROWSPAN="3"><IMG SRC="images/index_54.jpg" WIDTH="271" BORDER="0" HEIGHT="275"></TD>
<TD><IMG SRC="images/space.gif" WIDTH="1" BORDER="0" HEIGHT="117"></TD>
</TR>

What you need is a so called "WYSIWYG" (what you see is what you get) web design program. I personally use Netobjects Fusion. No need to know Html, although it helps if you do, and placing a button on any page in any place is as simple as drawing a rectangle in the location where you want it, get the program to create the neccessary code and, voila. The latest version even has e-commerce capabilities. Have a look at their site http://www.netobjects.com/ and decide for yourself.

Hope I'm not in trouble now for advertising other products here

I wouldn't think so - the way I see it Ulead make Video and Imaging Products. PhotoImpact includes some Web Creation abilities but essentially it is an image editor.

I use (The rather expensive) Microsoft Frontpage which as you say is a WYSISWG editor. These editors do not create pictures - so you would still need PhotoImpact.

Very true Steve. I wouldn't use anything else to create my web graphics but PI

and to create a web site, I wouldn't use nothing else but a WYSIWYG program. Good to know html though to tweak your output. I even include Java scripts without ever writing html from scratch.
