Go to solution Solved by Ziggy,

Hey all, looking to get some help regarding this text box I'm trying to have on my homepage.

Context: This is my portfolio book and I'm using some CSS to create a dropdown menu on the home page, and remove some other elements as well. 

When I edit my site on Squarespace, I can see the text box fine as shown below.

And then when I visit my site, it looks like this:

Does anyone have any idea what I can do to solve this and make the line appear for public viewers? 

thank you all!

I can't see any evidence of that text on your website, is the text in it's own text block?

Yes. The first screenshot is what it looks like with the text box already added in within squarespace. But when I visit the site like you did, it doesn't show. 

Need help getting it to show

I understand, I'm trying to find out how you added the text so I can troubleshoot. Can you also share the coded you've added as an error in it might be the cause of this.

hey sorry for the late reply! 

for sure. Here's the code I currently have for the home page 

Quote

 

<style>
  #header {
  display: none!important;}
</style>

<style>
#footer {
 display: none !important;
}
</style>

 

and this is the code behind the small dropdown menu I have

 

Quote

 

<select id="archive-pages" onchange="window.open ( this.value, '_self' );">

  <option value="#">
  
   WORK
    
    </option>
    
  <option value=/popeyesclw>
  
    Popeyes - Crunchy Little Weirdos 
    
    </option>
    
  <option value=/seattle-kraken-fear-the-deep>
  
    Seattle Kraken - Fear the Deep
    
    </option>
    
  <option value=/popeyessocial>
  
    Popeyes Social
    
    </option>
    
   <option value=/minutemaid>
  
    Minute Maid - Refreshing Bumpers
    
    </option>
<option value=/mercury-insurance>
  
    Mercury Insurance - Out of Home
    
    </option>
  <option value=/nypostspecwork>
  
    Spec Work - NY Post
    
    </option>
  <option value=/about-ozzie>
  
    ozzie nunez
    
    </option>

 

 

thanks for the help so far

That text is still there when I enter squarespace's website editor. 

I didn't use coding for that text box. I just added it in as a block

Can you show me a screenshot or even better a screen recording of this, because the text block is simply not appearing in the code, anywhere. 

I can't understand where the problem is coming from, and I need that to be able to help.

Thank you for that, very illustrative. That is a very odd problem. 

The only thing I can think is that there's something up with your code, if not, then you've found a system bug. You seem to be missing quotation marks around the values in the options, and the select doesn't have a closing tag, can you try replacing part of the code with this:

<select id="archive-pages" onchange="window.open ( this.value, '_self' );">

<option value="#">
   WORK
</option>
    
<option value="/popeyesclw">
    Popeyes - Crunchy Little Weirdos 
</option>
    
<option value="/seattle-kraken-fear-the-deep">
    Seattle Kraken - Fear the Deep
</option>
    
<option value="/popeyessocial">
    Popeyes Social
</option>
    
<option value="/minutemaid">
    Minute Maid - Refreshing Bumpers
</option>

<option value="/mercury-insurance">
    Mercury Insurance - Out of Home
</option>
  
<option value="/nypostspecwork">
    Spec Work - NY Post
</option>
  
<option value="/about-ozzie">
    ozzie nunez
</option>
  
</select>

Let me know if that has any impact.
