Download archive with the template:

Download

Present file structure corresponds the default template only and can be changed by you. The required file in a .zip archive is body.html. All parameters such as dimensions, events, click tracking etc. can be defined in the body.html.

How to work with .zip archive (template)

  1. Unpack an archive with a creative template.
  2. For creative preview use the preview page or copy all files to a folder index – banners – banner – body and open a file index.html in a browser using localhost. For that a web server has to be installed (e.g. IIS for Windows, Apache for Mac OS).

    3. Additionally, you can check the preview of the creative by copying the link to it and viewing it from your mobile device.

  3. Open the file body.html with the text editor and edit the code snippet inside tags <body> </body>.
  1. Edit a file body.js.
  2. Save and archive all banner assets in .zip (you should archive the files, not the folder that contains the files).

Asset requirements

ZIP archive

A banner with all banner assets should be archived as a .zip file. Use a .zip file with a template.

HTML file

The HTML file must define all used sources (libraries, images, etc). A recommended file name is body.html.

API connection and usage

globalHTML5Api connects automatically, requested in the following way.

Expand the globalHTML5Api code
globalHTML5Api.on('load', function(){
  /*
    YOUR CODE IS HERE
  */
});

globalHTML5Api objects and methods should be defined inside a called function. All used modules should be listed as function parameters. The format may use the Player module. A sample of globalHTML5Api.init usage for the Mobile Flexible format looks the following way.

Expand the globalHTML5Api.init example code
globalHTML5Api.on('load', function(){
  globalHTML5Api.init({
   'resize': [
   {
     'name': 'state-1',
     'width': '100%',

   }
   ]

Chrome will limit the resources a display ad can use before the user interacts with the ad by removing heavy creatives from the page. An ad is considered heavy if the user has not interacted with it (for example, has not tapped or clicked it) and it meets any of the following criteria:
– Uses the main thread for more than 60 seconds in total
– Uses the main thread for more than 15 seconds in any 30-second window
– Uses more than 4 megabytes of network bandwidth

For any questions regarding ad manuals please contact the support manager of your account.
