How to Insert Raw HTML Code in Komp…
How to Insert Raw HTML Code in KompoZer
by Christopher Heng, thesitewizard.com (http://www.thesitewizard.com/)
Although you may be using a WYSIWYG web editor like KompoZer to create and maintain your
website, you may find that, on occasion, you need to insert a snippet of raw HTML code into your
web page. For example, you have may come across some code from, say, thesitewizard.com's
Link To Us (http://www.thesitewizard.com/linktous.shtml) page. If you have tried inserting such code
simply by pasting it into your page using KompoZer, you would have found that your page displays
the raw HTML code instead of the actual text or button you want.
This tutorial takes you through the steps of inserting such HTML code into your web page. I will
assume here that you already know how to use KompoZer for creating and publishing a website
using the WYSIWYG interface. As such, this article merely supplies the missing information on how
you can insert third party cut-and-paste HTML code. If you are not sure how to use KompoZer, you
may wish to start at the beginning with the article How to Design and Publish Your Website with
KompoZer (http://www.thesitewizard.com/gettingstarted/kompozer-tutorial-1.shtml) .
Steps to Inserting Cut-and-Paste HTML Code into your Site
1. Start up KompoZer and open the page that you want to edit. To do this, click "File -> Open
File", that is, click the "Open File" item on the File menu.
2. Click the spot on the page where you wish to insert the HTML code.
3. Switch to your browser and surf to the page where you can get the cut-and-paste HTML code.
Select the code and copy it to the clipboard. To do this, drag your mouse over the HTML code
to select all of it, click the right mouse button on the text and click the "Copy" item on the menu
that appears.
4. Return to KompoZer. Click "Insert -> HTML...". That is, click the "HTML..." item on the "Insert"
menu.
5. A dialog box will appear. Click somewhere in the empty blank space. Right-click (that is, click
the right mouse button) and select "Paste" from the menu that appears. The HTML code should
appear in the box. Click the "Insert" button.
6. The code will now be inserted into your web page. If this was a button from, say,
thesitewizard.com's Link To Us (http://www.thesitewizard.com/linktous.shtml) page, the image of
the button will appear in your window and not the raw HTML code you saw earlier.
Voila, you're done. You can now save the file and upload it to your website.
