Adobe Pagemill

To insert something into the HTML mode, or "source mode", place the cursor on the spot on the page where you want the object to appear, then select "View" and then select "Source".

What you will see (in the source/HTML mode) is the red selection arrows

< ! --SELECTION -- >< ! -- /SELECTION -->

with the cursor blinking away in the middle where you are about to "paste" your code.

Paste and save.

Certain Java Scripts will cause you problems with Pagemill. Typical problem scripts are those such as counters and live newsfeeds which may be 'parsed' incorrectly (aka 'messed up') when Pagemill saves your work. Pagemill provides a solution for this situation by providing "Placeholders" to protect your scripts from being parsed with the rest of your page.

So you are ready to paste a (counter) code. You have gone to the source and copied it...and you are READY to paste it...

Here are the steps:

Open Pagemill in the "Write" mode. You can identify "write" mode from seeing the quill and parchment symbol in the upper right hand corner.

Put cursor on the spot on the web page where you want the object (that you are inserting) to be.

Select "Insert"

Select "Placeholder"

and a little red and white cone-shaped symbol will appear where your cursor was.

Select "Source"

You will notice the red arrow markers where you usually paste your code and you will also see a set of red arrows with words you haven't seen before:

<! -- NOEDIT -- >< ! -- /NOEDIT-- >

Paste your (counter)code between the :< ! -- NOEDIT -- > and <! -- NOEDIT -- > tags.

SAVE your work immediately.
