    Using "advanced HTML"

    L Hickle Community Member
      My apologies if this is in the wrong section. I am extremely new to Dreamweaver (and this particular forum). My prior experience is primarily with FrontPage 2000. I am trying to recreate my newspaper site — currently in FrontPage on a PC — in Dreamweaver on a Mac. I am recreating the pages from scratch rather than trying to open the FP pages in DW, as I suspect the code from FP is rather bloated.

      We have two things we like to place on the front page: a dynamic weather "sticker" from wunderground.com and an Amber Alert dynamic sticker that changes automatically when an alert goes out. In FrontPage, I place the supplied HTML as a component using the Advanced HTML feature, but I have not figured out how to apply this in Dreamweaver. I can get the stickers to show up on my page while I'm editing it in Dreamweaver, but they don't appear when I preview the page in Firefox.

      FWIW, in FrontPage, I can see the current weather sticker as I'm editing the page, but can't see the Amber Alert sticker until it previews in the browser. Any assistance or explanations would be most welcome!
