Hi, I create this account because I need to send newsletters to my clients, but if I can't edit the templates, this is useless for me; Then I find this answer and I tried to use the custom code, I'm a programmer, but when I insert my html code in your editor and preview, it just deletes my <script> tags... how supposed that I can do a good template without calling a simple .js function.. Can you include more common tags like <script> in your html editor?

I am needing to add an HTML Code to an email template that I am sending out.  The code is for our previously set up payment system through Network Solutions.  I do see that in the email templates there is an option to put in a payment method, but it requires setting up an entirely new/different account, which we are not interested in doing, especially since this one already exists and is being used. I had hoped when the various products from Network Solution were acquired, all info would be interchangeable.  All I need to know is how to insert the following code into an email template so that recipients can make payments directly from the email without having to be directed to our website. 

<script type="text/javascript" src="//03bdebf.netsolstores.com/add-a-store.aspx?pid=7&lid=17"></script>

Hi @MonicaS9159,

Thank you for reaching out to us through the Community. At this time, it is not possible to insert HTML code to create an embedded payment option within the newsletter. The best option for now is to have the contacts go externally to the website and pay through there. With that being said,  I have submitted this request over to our developers and hopefully this will be something that can be added to our system in the future. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but please let us know if you need assistance with anything else.

How have you guys still not added in the code view in the editor!

I was trying to use the "mobile friendly" templates you offer, only to find out I cant do anything with my content. A simple padding change is impossible as I don't have the code view feature.

The new editor is so restrictive it's impossible to do just about everything.

I assume you did this to stop your clients from messing up their own campaigns and screwing up the templates mobile features. Or your team cant figure out how to add code view into the new editor. I assume it's the first reason.

This problem has existed for entirely too long. The whole "I will submit your complaint to our team" is just a way to quell the requests of your customers. It doesn't take years to implement something like this

agree....I don't know why constant contact keeps removing features everytime they introduce something new

The templates are useless to me without the html option.
