Content area

[hivehouse]

I typically use content area for embed scripts, iframes, or other non-visible html code that I get from other services.

The code I am using is for an embed video, but when I click on the content area, all it does is plays the video.

The code is in the secure note.

I’ve noticed that while in the content builder, I cannot select the content area element and see it in the inspector. I typically have to enter the skeleton mode.

Is this a bug, or is there a way for me to be able to select the content area element from the content builder interface?

Hello @wbgTHEMECO,

Thanks for asking.

In the above code I see a inline Style style="display:none". Please remove the code and save the changes again.

Thanks.

That inline style doesn’t impact my ability to click on the element and see it in the inspector. It’s only for hiding a link. As proof, I completely removed that href and the issue with clicking on the content area remains. The only way for me to inspect the element would be if I am in skeleton mode. Otherwise, when I click the element, it only plays or pauses the video.

Wasn’t sure if this was expected behavior.

As a work around, I put 1em of padding on the bottom of the element so I could click on it, without clicking the video itself. It’s not a bad, but definitely confused the client a bit about what was going on and how to update the video reference.

Hello There,

Please be advised that in the Content builder, it has a preview and any events happening in the preview will likely to be applied on the preview page. Just like clicking on the content area which plays your video instead. Yes you are right, adding some padding around it will give your a little space to click the element without playing the video inside. And most important, the skeleton mode is the best go-to whenever you would like to access a particular element in the preview.

Hope this helps.
