Question

HTML Code Page is displaying the actual code

With the old dashboard I could easily flip my view between the html and the preview using the toggle HTML Source Button. I'm attempting to create a similar html dashboard section with the new widget based dashboard. According to the help info, there are extra steps now and I have to create a code page and then add that as a web page widget to the new dashboard. The problem I'm having is that all it displays is the html text code. And I don't see a toggle HTML Source Button. I'm assuming there is a simple toggle button or a setting that I'm missing, but I don't see it and your help is greatly appreciated. Also, I copy pasted the same HTML from the old dashboard version, which worked fine, so I know it is not the code itself.

Thank you,

It appears that in the new UI, there is no way to toggle between text/HTML on a "Code" page. In addition, if you are displaying the code page on a Dashboard page using the web widget, ensure that the "Code" page is labeled with the .html extension for it to display properly on the Dashboard.
Thank you.  Could you give me an example url?  I tried going to settings-> pages-> preview to capture the proper url, but it sill just presents the code page.  I tried just adding .html to that url and still no go.
Never mind.  Thank you and I figured it out.  Just in case anyone else runs into this, the answer it to add .html to the end of the page name.  So go to settings-> Go to Pages-> Click New Page-> select Code Page-> and in the "Page Name:" box name it a word that ends in .html.  Like TestCodePage.html    Nothing on the screen tells you to do this!  Thanks again dmiller34.
that helped me.  thanks.
