How Do I Install JavaScript on Wix?

Last updated on January 5, 2023 @ 6:20 pm

JavaScript is a programming language that enables you to create dynamic website content. For example, you can use JavaScript to add interactive form validation, display popup messages, or to create image galleries. Wix allows you to add JavaScript to your site in two different ways:

1. Adding JavaScript Code Manually

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

You can add JavaScript code directly to your site by using the HTML element <script>. This is useful if you want to add a small piece of code to your site, or if you want complete control over how the code is added. You can also use this method to load external JavaScript libraries.

To add JavaScript code manually:

  • Open the Editor.
  • Click on Add > More > Embed a Code.
  • Paste your code in the box that appears.
  • Click Apply.

2. Adding JavaScript Apps from the Wix App Market

If you want to add more complex functionality to your site, such as an image gallery or a contact form, you can do so by adding a JavaScript App from the Wix App Market.

To add a JavaScript App from the Wix App Market:

1. Click on Add > Apps.

2. Search for the app you want to add, or browse through the list of available apps.

3. Click on the app you want to add, then click Add App to Site.

Conclusion:

There are two ways that you can install JavaScript onto your Wix website: by adding code manually using HTML element <script>, or by adding a JavaScript App from the Wix App Market.

PRO TIP: When adding JavaScript to a Wix site, it is important to use the code editor. The Wix code editor is a WYSIWYG editor and adding JavaScript to it can cause irreversible changes to your site.
