Java script

Post by nancyjoycestd » Wed Aug 03, 2016 10:32 pm

I need to insert a Java script into the code for my landing page. The vendor instructions are to place anywhere on the page between <body> tags. Having trouble since this article has no <body> tags when I try to edit the code.

If you manage include the script somewhere in an article, it is going to be between the <body> tags. Those tags are added by the functions of the template before the article is rendered.

However, you may want to modify your template instead or present your javascript in a custom module. This tutorial shows you how: https://docs.joomla.org/Adding_JavaScript
