How do I make HTML snippets appear in Everweb?



User: Daniel B. 9 years ago
It is wonderful when snippets and widgets (e.g., Google Maps) appear in Everweb; I can see where they are on the page and position them properly.

However, a whole lot of them just give me a grey box that says "Generating Preview," and the box dimensions don't coincide with what is eventually published (even after I resize the box to approximate that actual image that finally appears).

My point is that I have to approximate a location, publish the page, approximate it again, and so on.

Why do some appear and some do not? Under Preferences/General I set the HTML Snippet preview delay to "20" with little result. Some things are just weird—EverwebCodeBox's Heading snippet won't update at all—and then will after a couple of days.

What can I do to get Everweb to show me more previews, more often?

Thank you!

Have a look at this page under Widget Refresh for info about this.

Thank you for confirming my sanity!

Best to Preview the page to see how widgets appear, or publish.

Hey there,

I totally get where you're coming from. It can be frustrating when snippets and widgets don't preview properly in EverWeb, leaving you guessing about their placement on the page. Regarding the grey box issue, it sounds like there might be some compatibility or loading issues with certain elements. Have you tried clearing your browser cache or updating EverWeb to the latest version? Sometimes these steps can help resolve such glitches.

As for getting more consistent previews, tweaking settings like the HTML Snippet preview delay can help, but it might not solve everything. It's worth exploring different options and perhaps reaching out to EverWeb support for further assistance.
