Hi again
I don’t build sites with coding, and I’m still working my way around Elements after 10 or so years on Rapidweaver, but when I’m struggling to place HTML at specific places in the site.
Using the HTML containers, all of the coding results get placed together in one area, rather than where I specifically want it or place it. What’s the trick with the HTML container in this app?!

Dave for example put a container (flex/grid/modal) in the place you want the HTML snippet to appear so for example if you have a menu/hero component and you want it to appear below Hero then just drag the code snippet from the component bar into that container and it will appear on page exactly where you want it. If you are using many HTML codes for example for a shop then you can name them all from the “HTML” standard name by clicking on top of the code page and changing name or click once on name and change. This just avoids confusion later on. Hope this helps if it doesn’t please come back.

Hi @theprotoolsguy
We have a very powerful `@portal` feature available in Custom Components.
An `@portal` allows you to place content in various areas of your site, such as the head start, head end, body start, body end, and more.
Check out [the `@portal` docs](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/elements-language/component/language/portal) for more information! Let us know if you have any more questions 🙂

I’ll have a look at this stuff - cheers.

Thanks Paul but either I’m not understanding, or it’s just not working.
How to I drag code? I can highlight and copy, but I don’t see how I can drag specific code into a container? All that happened when I tried is that all code ended in there (I have a Ai generated summary and a YT vid currently) and everything loaded in the container! I assume the component bar is the HTML at the bottom of the window - the only place I seem to be able to see HTML.
