I just updated to 04.03.019. I was using the Ad Studio to create a new layout and my HTML seemed to just not work. I was trying to put my description text in an 800px wide text box that was centered on the page. No matter what approach I took, css, using a table, even multiple blockquotes had no effect whatsoever.
When I put the same code in the description box in the create item screen it immediately had the desired effect.
In the Ad Studio I was inserting [[Description]] in the appropriate spot, as I have done with other layouts. I don't really want to clutter up the description entry box with HTML. Any thoughts? |

Hi Shane,
Try using a "Global Auto Text" for the Ad Tempalte HTML, see if that works.
Visit the following page:
http://www.blackthornesw.com/robo/projects/blackthornepro/Customizing_Ad_Templates.htm
Look for the heading
Adding Global AutoText (about half way down the page) and the last topic, Using Stylesheets in Ad Templates at the bottom of the page.

Something is definitely wrong here. A template that I was working on in v. 04.02.018 and was nearly finished with is now blank in the new 04.03.019. All of the HTML is there, but it does nothing in the Preview tab.
If I click the Design View tab after entering the code in HTML View I can see my changes. It appears that the Preview tab is not working. |

The stripping out of HTML can happen with the preview/view. It usually occurs with stylesheet information that the design editor does not support.
The Design View editor does not support the inclusion of stylesheet information. Stylesheet information will be stripped out of the template when you view the template in Design View.
Try using a "Global AutoText" insert for the HTML.

I tried using straight HTML and got the same result. I also tried using the wysiwyg editor in Design View, and when I looked at the Preview these changes had no effect either.
I do know how to use the GATs, but the same things I am doing now have worked in past versions.
Are you saying I should code the entire page in a GAT? Isn't that the purpose of the HTML View and wysiwig editor in the Ad Studio? |
