A number of HTML editors actually modify your HTML code and can break JavaScript scripts. We have tested many HTML editors to identify the safe HTML editors and to develop fixes for the others.

This section identifies quick fixes for a number of HTML editors, to help you with the code insertion process.

If you do not find your editor in this chapter and your code does not work properly, please insert the code using a simple text editor (Notepad, UltraEdit, Wordpad etc.). Do not use MS Word to write your code.

This section describes working with the following HTML editors:

Working with Adobe Page Mill

In Edit mode (but not in Source mode), choose Insert > Placeholder and do one of the following:

  • Select the placeholder icon, display the Inspector, and then paste the JavaScript code into the scrollable text box.
  • Alternately, choose View > Source Mode and paste the JavaScript code between <!--NOEDIT--> and <!--/NOEDIT--> comments.

Working with AOL Press

We recommend that you do not use AOLPress for pages where you want to use this script. The currently available version of AOLPress does not support the Yahoo! Web Analytics tracking code. Please use a different HTML editor or a text editor such as Notepad when adding the tracking code.
