To participate fully in the Skills Lab, we recommend you use 2 monitors – one to follow along with your expert instructor and the other available to access critical resources and your own application, or in some cases to follow along with a build.
Please confirm you can complete the following steps prior to joining the Skills Lab on November 9th:
-
Be knowledgeable in HTML, CSS and have some working knowledge of jQuery.

Just enough fields to be able to publish the form to see the progress meter when it is published and live.
-
Make sure you can switch over to the Plain Text Editor from the WYSIWYG view to see the code side of a donation form HTML Caption data element and Pagebuilder page content.
