Bumping my head with FP2003...but still reading and trying! Question, after I copy a code, do I paste it inside the brackets of the designated selection <head> or <body>, or, to the left, right or under these words. And, do I paste over what I have already, or, is this a new page? Did that make any sense to anyone? For example, if I want to do a horizonal drop down menu across the top of the page, do I paste in one of the drop down templates or do I create the words that I want in the menu boxes and then paste the code? Or, second scenario, do I paste a shopping cart into the <body> somewhere or what? I'm so confused. I keep trying to paste and then I can't get my page back to normal and when I delete everything off the page, I think the codes are still somewhere on the page. Is that possible. I get error messages when I try to put info back on the pages.

And then, I may be posting to the wrong area. If so, I'm sorry, I just didn't know which one to choose, so I just went with the general.

Thanks for any help!!!

Well, for scripts on DD, if it says paste it inside the <head>, it means the code should go in between your <head> section, such as:

<head>
code here
</head>

For codes that actually display something, whether it's a shopping cart or menu, the instructions usually will say to insert that code in the <body>, as what's in the <body> is what actually gets shown on your page.
