Edit HTML

The Edit HTML dialog allows you to manually change the underlying HTML or add JavaScript code to a text area.

Note: If you edit the HTML for a text area directly it is recommended to continue using this method for any further editing of the text area. This is because the standard WYSIWYG editor can sometimes add or remove changes to the HTML that you have not expected, depending on its PerformHtmlSanitation preference setting. The HTML sanitizer is switched on (true) by default. The Edit HTML dialog will provide you with some information regarding unsupported elements which you will only see in this mode. See also Supported HTML in the Text area.

To edit the HTML directly, go to the text area title bar and click Edit HTML .
