Drop-in Saver
Hey guys,
I'm struggling to implement a single drop-in saver button on a blank html document running from local host.
I tried copying the dropins.js and referencing it locally but am unsure what...

Dropbox StaffLots of things about that code look weird. Try this instead:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Saver</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.dropbox.com/static/api/2/dropins.js" id="dropboxjs" data-app-key="kyljf8vcbai3kc7"></script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/deroi5nwm6u7gdf/advice.png" class="dropbox-saver">Click here to save.</a>
</body>
</html>
I changed a few things:
- I put the script tag in the head and closed it.
- I put some text inside the anchor tag so you could click the link. (I also moved the anchor tag outside of the
<script>wrapper so it actually shows up.) - I removed the call to
createSaveButton, which referenced two undefined variables (localhostandfilename) and didn't do anything with the button anyway.
