Create copy-&-paste HTML code

[jimchicago]

What's the best/easiest way to add to my BV page(s) a "Copy this code" box?

I've already embedded HTML code from YouTube and other sites onto my BV sites, it's a great way to add third-party content. Now I'd like to give my site visitors the ability to embed code (that I provide) on THEIR sites.

Is there a tool or technique in BV that would allow me to do this even though I've never written any HTML code "from scratch"?

To clarify my question a bit more (and I do hope one of you smart folks out there will answer): on my BV site(s) I'd like to offer embed code that gives the "embedder" a link back to my site(s). Hoping to hear from you, thanks.

Of course, I can at least TRY to be a little resourceful myself. I found this, haven't read all of it yet, but I plan to:

There are 3 at the bottom of this page for an idea. The 1st one is for an image link. Red is the page link Blue is the image.

This is a text link with the red being the page link & blue the shown text.

Re: Create copy-&amp;-paste HTML code

Thanks for the HTML how-to. Could you also explain how you created the boxes (to the right on your page) that the "embedder" clicks into in order to copy the HTML?

On most of the sites where I've seen embed code, you can copy the code with a single click inside the box. That's what I'd like to be able to have on my BV pages. Thank you.

(By the way, when I click in one of your boxes to copy the code, I'm immediately transferred to another page of your site. Seems like that shouldn't happen.)

Ah! Didn't notice that. Thanks! Have changed the page & added select boxes.
The boxes i got from here.
If you have more than 1 link for your visitors to use on the same page you have to change the parts in red on each one.
So the 1st one is test, the second one will be test2. The part that go's in the head of the page stays the same for all boxes.

<form name="test">
<a class="highlighttext" href="javascript:HighlightAll('test.select1')">Select All</a><br>
<textarea name="select1" rows=2 cols=25 ><a href="http://www.barnetwalks.co.uk/"target="_blank"><image src="http://www.barnetwalks.co.uk/images/main-site/barnet-walks-image-link.jpg" border="0"</a></textarea>
</form>
