Last updated on December 29, 2022 @ 3:56 pm

JavaScript is a programming language that enables you to create dynamic website content. For example, you can use JavaScript to validate form input, create image rollovers, and to open external links in a new window.

Squarespace websites are built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You can useSquarespace Code blocks to add custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to your site.

To enable JavaScript on your Squarespace site:

  1. In the Home Menu, click Pages.
  2. Click the name of the page you want to edit.
  3. Click Settings.
  4. Under Page Settings, click Advanced.
  5. Click Code Injection.
  6. In the Header field, enter the following code:

<script> Your code goes here </script>

Replace "Your code goes here" with your own JavaScript code. For example:

<script> alert('JavaScript works!'); </script>

When you're done adding your code, click Save and then Done.

PRO TIP: WARNING: Enabling JavaScript on Squarespace can be dangerous. Make sure you know what you are doing before you enable it.
