As most of you should know, those that wish to place a global header on their websites can do so now. All you need to do is go into Global Information, and under Header, select the Header Text option. Then, you can enter anything you wish, HTML, Javascript, anything into the text field.
My problem with this is that I cannot paste anything into this field. Everything must by typed in by hand, which is a pain, as well as very time consuming, if you wish to implement a complicated HTML header into your website. Is this a bug? I've never encountered a text field into which I could not paste information.
Also, when are the global headers and footers going to be "officially" supported in EZ-Net Tools?

Strange, I was able to paste something into the Global Text field in my Edit Global Information. How are you trying to paste the information in? What's happening when you try?
As for the upcoming Global Headers and Footers, the official answer is "they'll be ready when they're ready." Our policy is to try and make absolutely sure something is working before it's posted, and that means lots of testing time. Even then, problems occur. So we try to give our programmers the amount of time needed to get the job done right the first time.
Hope that helps. |

Actually, what I first thought to be a bug now just seems like an annoying peculiarity. I'm able to paste HTML into the text field, but only one line at a time. If anyone else is having this same problem, be advised that if you delete all the spaces and line breaks, basically having your entire HTML snippet on one line in your HTML editor software, then the text field will allow you to paste the entire thing in one stroke. Weird, huh?

Both of you are correct, you can paste code into the Header text field, but you also are limited to the amount of lines you can paste in at a time.
The reason for this is because the field is just a text box, not a text area. Any text field on the Internet will not allow more than two lines pasted in it. That is because the hard return [the "Enter" key on the keyboard] makes a new line, which the field cannot support.
_______________________________________
I do know, however, that there is going to be a significant upgrade to the Global Header and Footer as mentioned on the Updates page. The initial plans that we have for this upgrade are amazing. I am highly anticipating the development of this new function, which will allow you to create your global header and footer with EZ-PageBuilder blocks. We'll also be able to see an ability to have more than one global header on different sections of your site [like Amazon.com does on each of their categories].
Well, I can't give out much more, because the tool is only on the horizon, and there may be some changes made during the development process. Be assured, though, that you will certainly love the upgrade. |

I've tried pasting html in the header text box and it doesn't seem to work. Does the html need to be preceeded and ended with the HEAD & /HEAD?
Thanks,

If your code looks like this in original form:
< img src=header.gif >
< a href=index.html >Home< /a >
Then, you will want to reformat it to look like this:
< img src=header.gif >< a href=index.html >Home< /a >
Be sure to have it all in one long string. If there are any "returns" in it, it cannot be pasted into the Header Text field. |
