How am i able to add HTML to buzz touch for it to have an effect on simulator?

Hi there, I understand I am able to insert my own HTML so that my app can be designed exactly how i want it. Once I have written my own HTML what do i do with it and where do i paste it so it has an effect on my app. I have tried few times but inserting it into the screen - Custom HTML but all this does is show the HTML i have entered on that desired page and not for example have a button there. Basically, what am i supposed to do once i have my HTML for my app? Thanks

Create a menu screen. Add item to menu screen Options: HTML doc screen, or Custom HTML Text screen Add HTML to the screen. Result: User clicks on menu Clicks on menu item Screen opens up showing HTML. Fred

Ok, i appreciate you guys helping, really do. Guess I'm just thick lol, but need some more help. basically the steps i have taken is I clicked add new on the screen/action page, then i have made a menu simple plugin. From here I've gone to home screen menu, and clicked existing nickname and chose the one i just created which i names menu screen and the tab underneath that I've chose Custom HTML / text. This then brings me to the wordpress/wizzywig/ editor page. Here i have pasted the HTML and pressed save. When i then go to the simulator all it does is show the code i have just pasted and not what i wanted it to come up with. thanks.... :(

Did you switch to "view source code" before pasting ? Fred

I didn't switch to source but i tried it and it works but not how i expected it. I copied some code from the net and they showed the picture of how it should look but it didn't. I guess i will have to keep playing around.

Copying code is sometimes good, but there may be code or css you miss. Fred

Yeah, i need to really look at understanding HTML myself. It is HTML i need to know to create apps on buzztouch to exactly how i want them right? Any tips? Im familiar with buzz touch side, just not HTML. Do you have any apps you have created from buzz touch which i could look at? Just to see some apps people have created using buzz touch . Thanks

Good question. I've been meaning to get to that for a few days. Temporarily just host the html in your site and I'll have that resolved in a few. Fred

Hi I have a problem related to IE9. Press Source button to edit HTML and code is not editable. In Firefox, no problem. Anyone else see the same thing?
