Tips and Tricks: Adding Javascript to a Page

The Challenge

If you copy a webpage that has embedded javascript, the SnapApp page builder will automatically remove the javascript for security reasons. 

The Solution

1) Copy the javascript to a .js file

2) Upload attachment 

Upload the .js file to the page, click " Add New Attachment " in the attachments related list below the page details.
