Advanced user options
HTML can be included in many fields within the application.
Ecommerce needs to know where the user-entered HTML starts and ends and this is achieved by using the string "!!<" (without the double quotes) to start the sequence of HTML and ">!!" to close the sequence. When your catalog is processed, prior to being uploaded to the web site, the "!!<" and ">!!" brackets are automatically removed.
A simple example of the usage would be:
!!<
<UL>
<LI><I>Version 6</I>
<LI><B>Works on W95, W98, NT4, WMe and W2K</B>
</UL>
>!!
URLs can also be included, as can links to other non-Catalog HTML files. In the latter case if the HTML files do not already reside online, then you can upload them to the Catalog directory using the Advanced | Additional Files menu. (See Additional Files).
In the following example a hot-link is created to the file ProdSpecSheet.html which must reside at the web site or an HTTP 404 error will occur.
!!<<a href="http://www.mycompany.com/ProdSpecSheet.html">Spec sheet</a>>!!
Note that the Product dialog supports such a feature for a single URL. See the File/URL field in the Product Details dialog (General tab - products).
