Hi Steve

All you really need to do is add any scripts for jquery into the header or footer of a page, just following the plugin examples usually provided.  With the text/html (Basic Text Box) you can add the body of what's needed.  That's really all there is to it.

I use OpenWebStudio though as it let's me do just about anything I want easily with all the code possibly in a single Detail Template.

David,

You say, "With the text/html (Basic Text Box) you can add the body of what's needed.  That's really all there is to it."  But I'm still having trouble entering any code into a text/html module and having it work.  I have a simple form, for example, that I use in my non-DNN pages that lets a visitor enter their address into a field and then select the Go button  to submit the form to Google, who puts up a map from their address to my location:

<form id="getmap" action="http://maps.google.com/maps" method="get">
    <label for="saddr">Get directions from your address:</label>
    <input type="text" name="saddr" id="saddr" />
    <input type="submit" value="Go" />
    <input type="hidden" name="daddr" value="2144 W. Greger St. Oakdale, CA" />
</form>

This works beautifully on a  non-DNN page but when I put it into a text/html module using Basic Text Box mode, I can see the input field being rendered but no map is generated when I submit the address. The action machinery of the form doesn't seem to work from DNN.

I'm sure once you're doing it it's ridiculously easy, but there's still some little step that I'm missing.  I need to find a book or a tutorial that shows in detail code being entered into the text/html module.

Thanks
Steve

Sebastian,

Thanks for the tip on the rotator widget.  I'll look into it.

Steve

Ah! Thanks.

Yes, I know it's not jQuery but I was afraid to do anything complicated like JavaScript or jQuery before I could even get a simple form to work.

Ok, I think it's time to wrap up this thread.  Thanks to all for your valuable information.

Steve
