Hi, I am currently transferring a website from RapidWeaver 8 to Elements and wish to include a HTML snippet from a third party website. I did it in RW8 with the HTML component and it worked (and still works) fine (see [Mannschaften | Planeta Radebeul - Tennis](http://ssvplanetatennis.de/page-7/)). The Snippet is:

When I insert it to the HTML custom component in Elements on the page it remains blank and does not show/update.

What am I doing wrong?

Best, Henning

There is a button up by the top, right Did you click it open up the bottom section and copy and paste in the HTML code?

Sure did.

Can’t find a way to include the snippet here…

You did it right…

Clicking at the top of the code - where it says HTML you can custom name it - click on it and give it a name..

It helps if you’ve got many of them…

Thanks Michael, but even renaming the custom component doesn’t help…

Want to try the snippet yourself? You find it here a little down the page:

We have a video on how to create HTML snippets, hopefully this will help:

Thanks Dan, I’ve seen it and followed all procedures. I can include other snippets as shown in the video, all working fine. Just this snippet isn’t working/showing, but it’s all going well in RW8, as said, so the snippet itself does work. It just doesn’t in Elements.

Btw: I love Elements, it’s really great. Even for an amateur like me. Great work! 🙂

Hi,

Perhaps not visible in Elements, but visible in “preview in browser” and (hopefully) when page published.

Yes exactly, that’s the content.

And Anne was right too, it is visible when I hit “preview in browser”, so in the end it is working correctly, but not showing in elements. Sorry I didn’t try this myself - but now you have something to work on 😆

Thanks for the support - much appreciated!!

If I understood your question, that is normal. You must preview it in the browser (looks like a compass or clock), or upload it online. Either way, you’ll be able to see what your are doing…
