Dear Forums,

I am using a rather outdated version of Website X5 (Evolution 8) on Windows XP Pro to maintain the following website:

www.dawnsgetaways.com

I would like to add a "Follow @dawnsgetaways" Twitter button to the home page.

I have added an HTML Code area to the bottom of the home page, and cut and pasted the following code from Twitter's support site:

<a href="https://twitter.com/dawnsgetaways" class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false" data-dnt="true">Follow @dawnsgetaways</a>
<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+'://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs[removed].insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');</script>

However, when I go to preview the result, I see only a standard hyperlink saying "Follow @dawnsgetways" where I was expecting to see the Twitter button.

So I have two questions:

1. Is it valid to expect the button to work in preview mode i.e. do I have to go ahead and upload to the webserver in order to make the HTML and Javascript work?

2. If it is, then what am I doing wrong i.e. is it valid to cut and paste the HTML and the Javascript into a single box within Website X5?

For information, I have tried using the Page Properties button to place the script code in the Head and the HTML in the Body, to no avail.

Any information and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

Jon
