Asked by 96312c6bf6494f0f8afc7143971187

I cannot find any even partially complete explanation of how to inject “operational” (functions,data importation from external URL’s,etc.) script into the body of a page’s code and from there editing elements in any single page in my Squarespace website. The only videos etc. show amending headers and footers, and footers scripting gets applied to ALL pages - Not what I need. PLEASE PLEASE someone help!

Hey there! 👋

To better understand the issue here, could you clarify a bit more about what you’re trying to achieve? Are you looking to add JavaScript that runs only on one specific page, or are you trying to interact with certain elements dynamically based on user actions (like button clicks or data loading from an external URL)?

If you’re aiming to inject JavaScript that operates on a specific page, one approach might be to use a Code Block directly on that page. That way, the script will only run where you need it to.

You might also want to check out this Squarespace guide on Using Code Injection, which provides some helpful insights on where and how you can add custom code to your site.

Let me know a bit more about what you’re trying to do, and I’ll be happy to help you figure out the best way to inject your JavaScript!
