can someone tell me how to put a widget into a website that you are creating on text-wrangler. please

reply

Ugotsta · May 2016

Hi @christiec01,

That really depends on the type of widget you intend to add.

Are you trying to create a section of the website with a bit of custom HTML/JavaScript code? If so, what type of content did you want the widget to contain?

Or did you want to add a widget from a 3rd party service like Google Docs? If so, do you already have the HTML code from the respective service?

Cheers,
David
