Doing your own HTML

Advanced users sometimes wish not to use our Dynamic HTML editor which allows you to create fancy descriptions without knowing HTML. However, power users may wish to disable it.

 

You will probably want to disable the HTML editor (in your preferences) if you often cut and paste your own HTML, or if you use a program such as FrontPage or GoLive (which help you design your own HTML).
 

If you continue to use the HTML editor, then you will need to make sure and paste into the frame while you are in HTML Mode, NOT View Mode. For more details of HTML vs View mode, click here.

If you decide to disable the HTML editor, then you may want to consider using the custom layout called "Custom HTML", which was created for that purpose. This special layout will not add any of Auction Hawk's HTML at all (except for the counter). Also, it does not carry over the shipping and payment preference information.
