Simply trying to add the Dimmi pop-up calendar to the footer widget as per instructions:

I have this pop up working elsewhere on the website, but the Footer Widget won’t save the changes, it times out (see attached).

Hi,

Do you get any console log errors in the Chrome Web Dev tools?

Can you provide a .txt file/github gist of the code?

Thanks.

I’m not sure how to get a console log error when trying to add the Raw HTML to a footer widget.

Can you try for me?

I have attached the Raw HTML I’m attempting to add to Footer Column 2, the when you SAVE it times out.

Hi Taffy,

Looks like the javascript:void is causing the admin-ajax.php to error:

There are some really decent references as to why the method you are trying to implement should be avoided, in favour of using some simple jQuery. Ref: http://stackoverflow.com/a/9440536/4034148.

Using the above as a guide you could essentially integrate this sample code and update the parameters to match your URL code: http://jsfiddle.net/a7qJt/.

The jQuery will go in Theme Options => Custom JS.
