</div>

]]>

<footer></footer>

 

 

Specify  a text string in this section, that you wish to appear as portal's footer.

All HTML must be escaped by entering

"<![CDATA[" before the HTML and "]]>" after the HTML as in the examples.

 

<footer>
<![CDATA[ ]]></footer>

Or

<![CDATA[ 
<div class="footer">

IMPORTANT:

While CSS code can be included inline  within the Header and Footer HTML, as a best practice Moxie recommends that you place your CSS code in the portal.css file.
