Running an html script on a Canvas page

[Mihai_B]

I'm trying to run an html script for a countdown on a course page, but every time I save, the script is gone; I'm assuming Canvas doesn't want scripts running and it's just wiping out anything between script and \script; is that right? If it isn't right, what am I doing wrong?

Hi @Mihai_B ...

Canvas has an "allowlist" of what HTML is allowed in the RCE (Rich Content Editor).  You can find out more about this by visiting these two links:

• How do I use the HTML view in the Rich Content Edi... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
• Canvas HTML Editor Allowlist - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

Code is stripped out of the RCE if it is not allowed.

Sorry I don't have better news for you, but I hope this helps to answer your question.
