Question

HTML 5 Clicktag

New to the HTML5 world here.  Providing HTML5 creative made with Animate CC.

Specs state "JavaScript tags not allowed".

Trying to add a Clicktag and seems like every option uses js <script>.  Am I misunderstanding the specs?

Admittedly I am in over my head and am hoping for clarification / advice.

Thanks!

did you try publishing the file, and then opening up the HTML file and placing the code in the HTML page?

Open the outputted html file in a text editor and paste the following code before the closing </head> tag...

<meta name="ad.size" content="width=300, height=250"> <script type='text/javascript'>var clickTag ='http://www.adroll.com';</script>

Then update the <canvas> tag with the following click event...

onclick="window.open(clickTag ,'_blank');"

You can also add cursor:pointer; to the canvas styles. The resulting <canvas> tag should look something like this...

<canvas id="canvas" width="300" height="250" style="background-color:#FFFFFF; cursor:pointer;" onclick="window.open(clickTag ,'_blank');"></canvas>

hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply!

I have done this - i guess my newbie question is does this type of clicktag count as a JavaScript tag?

hmm. I guess it does.... but not sure how else you can do it? If they said no javascript tags, did you ask them to see an example of a previous ad to see how they did it? That might help.
