The "editor" for your HTML widget is THE Worst editor ....
The HTML "editor" doesn't always let you see/find the cursor! It won't let you hilite a section to delete it, or replace it! it's just a BAD editor. There MUST be a better one out there in the internet world...
I’m sad, frustrated, Plus!

Inappropriate?Hi Richard
We would certainly like to improve this. Can you tell us what browser you are using, so we can investigate the problem with cursor behaviour and highlighting text and look for a solution.1 Comment

I'm using the Internet Explorer :( -
Inappropriate?I also have lots of problems with your HTML editor. But I don't think it's the worst ever. It shows different code in different colors, that's good. But it's the only good thing about it. There are many bugs and problems I found in it and it's hard for me to work with it. I don't know if telling you all the problems I have with it would help. I am using IE by the way.
I would really like you to add an option to use a simple input field instead. With nothing fancy, but functional. That would be much better. You know, looking fancy it's not the more important thing.

Inappropriate?I think alot of the problems you's are experiencing are because of your browser, not Yola. Which version of IE are you using? If it's 6 or below you will have many problems all over the web because it is an outdated and now unsupported browser. Try using Firefox, it works best with Yola, and it's free!

Inappropriate?Hello AS99999
I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulty with our text editor. Can you please let us know what version of IE you are using? If it is IE6 - we would recommend that you upgrade.
If you are using IE8 - this is a known issue with browser version. To resolve the issue, click on the Compatibility View button of your browser (next to the refresh button) and add Yola to the Compatibility settings. For more information, see: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/inte.... This should correct the problem. If not, please get back to us. -
Inappropriate?To respond to the lovely monique about how to improve the site? Give the option NOT to use the CSS Editor.. The ONLY thing keeping me from moving my domain over here is the lack of allowing me to hard code my site myself.. If I can't hard code or use my own utilities, then I'm not interested in dealing with the provider :(. Other than that, I like the idea of an OPTIONAL CSS creator, but making it mandatory is fail :(.
I’m frustrated

If you have no need of the site builder why choose Yola? If you can code that well a hosting only service might be a better fit...Yola is a free site builder that offers free hosting for sites built using their builder....Nothing close to fail about that

I was going to say what John said. Our service is aimed at people who do not want to code their sites from scratch or do not have the skills to do so. As such it might not be the right option for you. However, we appreciate that you took the time to check it out and leave us your feedback.

John and Monique's points above are pertinent. Further, you don't *have* to use the HTML editor ... what I often do when i need to work on more complicated JavaScript or CSS is use the editor on my own machine, then paste into the html editor.
Creating a good code editor inside the browser is not something trivial, and as far as I know there isn't really anything very good out there at the moment. I would argue that our HTML editor is better than a plain text editor, especially in that it allows code formatting and shows line numbers. However, if you are writing serious JavaScript, I would advise you to write it on your local machine and either copy-paste into the html editor, or, if you have a premium account, upload the JavaScript or CSS files to the resource store and load it up from there. -
Inappropriate?yea, I don't like the html editor either, especially in firefox. Whenever you paste something into a text widget, the html editor in firefox only shows up on one line. I once had a text widget about 45 paragraphs long, can you imagine editing this in firefox with having to search for the text you want to edit? TIME CONSUMING!!! -

Inappropriate?I'd highly recommend you use Firefox,
It's an open-source internet browser that's trusted by millions of people around the world, Not only is it stable but developers make the most for that certain browser.
You can get :
Themes
Plugins
Ad-blockers
Tons of stuff with Firefox in the extension directory.
You can find firefox at:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/...
Reasons to switch:
Internet explorer sometimes may seem it does the job for you, it "might" do the job but other browsers do it faster and better.
Internet Explorer is actually very unstable, on 10 computers I've seen it crash every time the person visited any website with flash/JS content.
Internet explorer is vulnerable to Malware/Viruses 87% more than all other browsers!
How is it vulnerable?
1. Active-X Exploits/Malware
2. "Reported attack site" notifications are not on IE (Only on firefox)
3. Malware can auto-install on Internet explorer without your consent.
Remember, It's all about the user.
You can stick with Internet explorer but enlighten the facts that Firefox is better.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?How do you add URL in the page from others site? because it only accept the HTML.

Inappropriate?Hello supickens
Here's how to add links to your page:
1. Drag and drop a text widget onto your page.
2. In the text widget type the words that you want people to click on (this is your link text).
3. Highlight the link text and then click on the link button (it's the 10th button from the left in the text editing tool bar, and looks like the link in a chain).
4. A link editor dialogue box will open up and you will be given 4 options. You can link to an email address, an external URL, a page on your own site or a file in your file manager.
5. Click on and edit the option appropriate for you.
You will then have a link on your page. To check that your link is working preview your page and then click on the link.
This is a brief explanation of how to add links, we have written a tutorial that shows the process in more detail. Here is the link: Creating Links.
For a step by step video on how to Add text links please see: Adding text links.
Please let us know if this does not answer your question or if you have any trouble setting it up. -
Inappropriate?I do all of my codiing in an external editor (Textwrangler). I also use the great tool Dropbox (my great discovery of the year). This way I save the Textwrangler into my Dropbox folder so that if I ever need to go back to the code or whatever, i have it readily available. All I do as suggested above is copy/paste the code into a HTML widget or wherever I need to.
I’m pro-active with my work...
