Editing Web Pages

Web developers can edit web pages to include custom code or features. Using the Web HTML Maintenance feature, you can open any page's programming code for viewing or editing. You can also undo edits. Similar features allow you to edit e-mail templates.

Before editing any pages, ensure you have a solid understanding of the following information:

HTML tags and coding
JavaScript web programming language
Eclipse features, variables, and editing techniques

To view web page source code:

From the System > Custom > Web Commerce menu, select Web HTML Maintenance.
At the Web Order Entry prompt, enter the web order entry level your company uses to open the Web Level HTML Maintenance screen.

The following information displays for each web page defined in your web site:

Field	Description
Description	Describes the web page. For example, the Account Login page is the page where your customers log in to your site.
