I need to place a little piece of third party JavaScript into my HTML which is recommended just before the </body> and </html> tags. However, since moving to Business 6.1.2 I cannot see this code in any of the templates. Indeed, it does not appear in the source if I view via the browser.

Any ideas where they have disappeared to?

They are in Act_Primary.html right at the end (where else) on my 6.1.2 system using the standard demo site with theme Curves.

Ah ha, that's where we're I would have thought. However.....

[code]
</TABLE>
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="middle" align="center">
<td colspan="2" height="45" background="bottom_bg.gif">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="45">
<tr valign="middle" align="left" background="bottom_bg.gif">
<td width="12%"><a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBHOMELINK" target="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBHOMETARGET"><img src="home.gif" width="100" height="15" border="0" alt="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBHOMETEXT"></a></td>
<td width="12%"><a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCATALOGLINK" target="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCATALOGTARGET"><img src="online_shop.gif" width="100" height="15" border="0" alt="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCATALOGTEXT"></a></td>
<td width="12%"><a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCARTLINK" target="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCARTTARGET"><img src="view_basket.gif" width="100" height="15" border="0" alt="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCARTTEXT"></a></td>
<td width="12%"><a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCHECKOUTLINK" target="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCHECKOUTTARGET"><img src="checkout.gif" width="100" height="15" border="0" alt="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBCHECKOUTTEXT"></a></td>
<td width="13%"><a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBMAILLINK" target="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBMAILTARGET"><img src="contact_us.gif" width="100" height="15" border="0" alt="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBMAILTEXT"></a></td>
<td width="13%" align="center">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="13%"><img src="back_to_top.gif" width="100" height="14" border="0" alt="Back to top" OnClick="GotoAnchor('top')"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
[code]

is the last HTML in Act_Primary.html

I assume I can place these end of page tags just under this? Or, what's missing? :confused:

it looks to me as if you have over editted your act_primary



you may get way with just adding

</BODY>
</HTML>

to the base of the template

If I recall, the only way I may have over-wrtten was when I upgraded the software last time.

The issue is that there is a company called SiteStats (www.sitestats.co.uk) that provides web site stats. One needs to add some 5 lines of JavaScript code between the <body> and </body> tags on each page. This is how I found there was no </body> in Act_Primary.html as for ease of use they recommend placing the code just before the <\body> tag.

What transpires is that the Javascript can be anywhere within the page, however they call a 12x12 transparent pixel. I have thus placed the Javasctipt just beneath the aforementioned code (which I assume is the end of Act_Primary) and I get a 12 pixel high line though the 'Funky' template I am using, just above the menu.

I think I will try and place the </body></html> tags as has been suggested, but I cannot understand why the end of Act_Primary then shoves the code up abd above the navigation menu.

What about the Footer template. Could I add the script there I wonder?

The snippet of code you posted appears to end in a </tr> indicating that you're still in a <table>. I'd try adding </table> before the </body></html> and then try putting your new code just before the </body>.

Code inside a table should only appear within <td> and </td> statenments otherwise browsers place it in really wierd parts of the page.
