I am creating animations for my math classes and would like to embed the code directly in Canvas course pages. Is there a way to use Html, CSS and js code inside Canvas?Any help is appreciated.
Hi @BhavaniKola,
If you're trying to do all of this directly in the Canvas editor, I think you're going to run into a lot of difficulties. Scripting is generally not allowed, and Canvas does limit what html elements and in-line styles you can use when editing HTML in the editor, see Canvas HTML Editor Allowlist - Instructure Community - 387066 for more details as to what is allowed.
Your best bet may be to host the content elsewhere where you then could include it as an iframe in Canvas. With this approach you may start to run into 3rd party content.cookie issues, especially as browsers focus a bit more on privacy.
I know some people also try putting html/javascript/css into the Canvas files area with somedegree of success, but I myself have never really considered this as a officially supported method, and I have noticed an uptick in posts here in the community about that style of content breaking for some users.
I may not have provided an exact answer here, but maybe something I said here will spark an idea on your end. Others may also chime in with their own advice around this.

If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
Started testing the new Portfolio today. Our K-12 district is new to Canvas and never implemented a portfolio solution. I was testing the share as a studnet using the 'Anyone can view link' to an outside user = does not have a login ID for our instance of Canvas. As the outside user, I am able to open and read the…
