Adding Fragments to a Template

You can use the Toolbox to add fragments directly to a template while working in design or source view.

To add a fragment, perform these tasks:

1. Place your cursor in the template where you want the fragment to appear.

   If you're adding a list fragment, It may be necessary to first create a contribution region and then place the fragment in that region.

2. In the Toolbox, click a fragment category: Navigation Fragments, Dynamic List Fragments, Static List Fragments, or Other Fragments.

3. Click the desired fragment (see Sample Fragments for a description of each fragment).

4. If the fragment contains parameters, you are prompted for additional information in the Fragment Parameter Values dialog (see Fragment Parameter Values Dialog).

5. Enter the appropriate values in the fields provided and then click OK to add the fragment.

The fragment displays on your template where your cursor was last located.

Many of the sample fragments insert a small text or a graphic as a visual aid so that you know where a fragment is located on a template. This small marker is known as the design view code. The design view code is used because many of the fragments contain dynamic content and server-side scripts that must be viewed in a web browser on the Web site to be seen properly.

The placeholder does not necessarily represent how the fragment appears on your Web site. You can change the placeholder in the Fragment Editor, if you like (see Step 5 in Adding, Editing, and Deleting Fragment Snippets).
