Office live web site design question from a beginner

Hi,

I've recently hosted a website through officelive. It is www.elypc.com. It is modest, and I will not add much more too it since it is just a part time hobby.

My question is this:

I would like to have one of my friends create for me a page using javascript. He is going to make it similar to dell's custom pc pages (not to the same extent). He is concerned that since I am using officelive, they may not allow me to create a page outside of their page wizard.

I believe I can create a blank page, and copy the html or code into it from there. Will this work Do I need to pay for a premium service before they will let me add a page that includes java script

Also, if my outside designed page can be copied into a blank page of my website, will the images show up if they are hosted and linked from another site

I appologize again as I do not speak the technical language very well.

Thanks for any help.

    Hello,

    Thanks for using Office Live to host your web site! The answer to your questions really depend on the content that you're trying to create through JavaScript. The Page Editor in Office Live provides a module called the HTML module that you allows you to insert a snippet of HTML or JavaScript onto your page. You may want to experiment with the HTML module to see if it is sufficient to satisfy your scenario.

    Alternatively, we also give Preimum subscribers the option to activate third-party design tools such as Microsoft Expression Web to create their HTML pages offline, then upload them to the site. However, it is important to note that when the third-party design tools mode is activated, you will no longer be able to create pages anymore through the Page Editor feature, and all content created by the Page Editor will be destroyed. The third-party design tools option is really geared towards advanced users who would rather have complete control over their pages than using the Office Live Page Editor tools for creating the pages.

    Finally, I believe the default Image insertion feature in the Page Editor does not allow you to choose an external image to be linked. However, you can still do this via the HTML module by manually inserting an <img src="external_url_to_image"> tag in the module.

    Hope this helps,
    Albert
