Using Iframes in OmniUpdate

The OmniUpdate editor is not permitting Iframes in our system if you are using the WYSIWYG. There is a way around it though. However from now on you will need to use only the source code view to edit this page, and not the "view source" part of the WYSIWYG. Instead, do this:

Hit the "Content" Tab in OmniUpdate (even if you have it open to that tab hit the tab again so you can see the full file content list)

Find the file you want to add the Iframe to and hit the "light bulb" next to the file name to check it out

Once you do this you will notice some new icons next to the light bulb. One of these is a greater than and less than symbol like this: <>

Click on the <> icon to get straight into the source code.

Go to the Main Content area by looking for <mainBodyText> in the code

Add your iframe into the main body area.

Example:

<iframe src="http://www.google.com" width="600" height="200" 
scrolling="yes" name="demo" frameborder="1" align="center">
&nbsp;</iframe>

Note: you need to add a non-breaking space tag or else Google Analytics cannot properly interpret the page.

Hit the "floppy disk" in the upper left corner to save your changes.

Hit "publish now" to publish the changes.

It should look like this (sample of above iframe code):
