Why doesn't the browser read the second HTML embed on the Webflow page?

There could be several reasons why the browser may not be reading the second HTML embed on a Webflow page. Here are some possible explanations and solutions:

  1. HTML structure: Check if the HTML embed element is correctly nested within the body of the webpage. If it is placed outside the body or within another element such as a div, the browser might not interpret it as a valid HTML element. Ensure that the embed code is correctly placed within the body tag.

  2. Duplicate IDs: If the second HTML embed has an element ID that is identical to another element on the page, it can cause conflicts and prevent the browser from reading it. IDs must be unique within the HTML document. Check if there are any duplicate IDs and make sure each element has a unique identifier.

  3. Script errors: If the second HTML embed contains JavaScript code with errors, it can halt the execution of subsequent scripts on the page. Open the browser console (usually accessed by right-clicking on the web page and selecting 'Inspect') to check for any error messages. Correct any errors and ensure that the JavaScript code is properly written.

  4. Conflicting or missing dependencies: If the second HTML embed relies on external resources such as CSS or JavaScript files, ensure that those dependencies are properly included in the page. Check if any required files are missing or if there are conflicting versions of the dependencies.

  5. Conditional rendering: Webflow allows for conditional rendering of elements based on certain conditions or interactions. If the second HTML embed is within a hidden or conditionally rendered element, it will not be visible or accessible to the browser. Make sure that the element containing the embed code is not set to be hidden or conditionally rendered.

  6. Caching issues: Sometimes, the browser may cache the previous version of the webpage, preventing it from rendering newer changes, including the second HTML embed. Try clearing the browser cache and force-refreshing the page to ensure that you are loading the latest version of the webpage.

Remember to test the page on multiple browsers and devices to ensure compatibility and accurate rendering.
