Synchronized
Table of Contents
This format consists of one or more than one connected banners, which are synchronized. When a user moves the mouse over or or clicks on of the banners, it expands to display more.
A user opens the webpage and sees the Two 120x600 Standard Skyscraper and Standard 940x90 Leaderboard Banners in the placements. The banners accommodate a link to the defined landing page.
The following items are to be delivered by a creative agency:
- In case that browser is very old and doesn't support HTML5 the backup image (PNG/JPEG) is required (set in additional assets).
- Banner assets containing manifest.json file and HTML file zipped together with images, scripts and other material.
NOTE: manifest.json file and HTML file should be in the root directory of the .zip file.
Manifest.json file
- Manifest.json file should define the ad dimensions and the HTML file which is used as a banner source.
- HTML file should include Adform HTML library which enables the banner to receive a clickTAG variable:
<script src="https://s1.adform.net/banners/scripts/rmb/Adform.DHTML.js"></script>
