Hi,

I have a folder that consists of an index.html, a script.js and some images that get called by the script.js. Is it possible to somehow embed/include this JavaScript “project” in a Ghost post? When I embed the CodePen code it shows the editor view on the published post page. This is not what I want.

I self-host and have access to the files via Cyberduck.

Thanks.

Sure, you can use an HTML card inside the editor, with `<script>` tags - or you can add the script via Code Injection → inside the Post Settings Menu (settings cog in the top right)

Thanks, John. Made it work. Such scripts do not get loaded in emails to subscribers though, do they?

That’s correct - email clients don’t support embedded scripts
