Custom Header
There are two components for creating a custom header for your site. There is an HTML card that you can edit in the page layout and a CSS text area in the header settings sidebar.
The custom header HTML card supports a limited set of HTML tags:
<a>
<b>
<blockquote>
<br>
<caption>
<cite>
<code>
<col>
<colgroup>
<dd>
<dl>
<dt>
<em>
<h1>
<h2>
<h3>
<h4>
<h5>
<h6>
<i>
<img>
<li>
<ol>
<p>
<pre>
<q>
<small>
<strike>
<strong>
<sub>
<sup>
<table>
<tbody>
<td>
<tfoot>
<th>
<thead>
<tr>
<u>
<ul>
<center>
<style>
<div>
<spa>
<nav>
These can be used in conjunction with many documented Bootstrap classes.
Frequently used classes include:
class | use |
|---|
.pull-right | Position elements by floating them to the right of the page |
.pull-left | Position elements by floating them to the left of the page |
.clearfix | Use on a <div> after floats to prevent other elements from wrapping around your floated item |
.center-block | Center block-level elements |
.text-left | Left-align text |
.text-right | Right-align text |
.text-center | Center-align text |
Presently, we do not support Javascript embedded in the header HTML section. Script tags will be ignored by our compiler. We do intend to add limited Bootstrap Javascript support to allow dropdown menus in navigation and collapsable mobile navigation in a future iteration of our product.
Supported attributes that can be used in conjunction with the <a> tag:
aria-label
class
href
role
src
style
target
Supported attributes that can be used in conjunction with the <img> tag:
align
alt
aria-label
class
height
role
src
title
width
Supported attributes that can be used to support accessibility:
alt
aria-label
role
Supported attributes supported on any of the the allowed HTML tags:
aria-label
class
role
style
To get you started in adding your own custom header CSS, we have pre-populated the CSS text box in the settings with a few key classes you might want to use if you are working with the default custom header:
class | use |
|---|
.custom-header | Wraps the entire component - you can only style tags within this class |
.first-tier | First level of navigation, including the site logo |
.second-tier | Second level of navigation |
Custom Footer
Like our custom header, our custom footer is made up of two components, an HTML editing card in the page layout and a CSS text input box under the sidebar settings.
Please read the supported tags and attributes in the custom header above for best practices. The only additional classes of importance found in the footer are related to layout: .container and .col-xs-12 classes. These are part of the Bootstrap grid structure and are necessary to constrain columns within a fixed width page layout. You may modify the columns as you wish. These classes were not necessary in the header as the Bootstrap <nav> classes take care of all of this for you in regards to navigation.
