Background color

A solid body background color should be set for the banner.

Weight limit

Total weight limit of siteheader is 160 KB. (The sum KB size of both images.)

Video siteheader

Siteheader where the expanded part is video. Best done in AdForm using this template. The weight limit of the video is 2 MB (will not be counted against the weight limit of the siteheader). Video file should be optimized and correctly sized.
The video will autoplay muted and loop. Please keep the video file short and light.
Video cannot be implemented in a HTML5 rich media container, it should be added as a video file. If you would like to use video in the banner, please use the previously mentioned Adform template.

General tips on creating siteheader

The siteheader banner is displayed in a separate container that is resized by Delfi and the banner should be aware of the parent element resizing itself.
Set the background of the body of the banner something other than white so that it is visually distinct of rest of the page.

Siteheader banner must include the following script:

<script src="https://s1.adform.net/banners/scripts/rmb/Adform.DHTML.js"></script>

Also the banner must call for a resize function as soon as possible for the initial positioning and size to be set:

dhtml.external && dhtml.external.resize && dhtml.external.resize("100%", "100%");

All template files below include the Adform.DHTML.js script and the first resize function call.

How to add a clicktag

For clicktag to work you must have added the Adform.DHTML.js file and trigger the clicktag on a wrapper div element like this.

<div id="clickLayer">banner</div>
  <script>
	dhtml.external && dhtml.external.resize && dhtml.external.resize("100%", "100%");
	var clickArea = document.getElementById('clickLayer');

	clickTAGvalue = dhtml.getVar('clickTAG', 'http://www.example.com');
	landingpagetarget = dhtml.getVar('landingPageTarget', '_blank');

	clickArea.onclick = function() {
		window.open(clickTAGvalue,landingpagetarget);
	}
  </script>

Adobe Animate CC

Creating siteheader banner in Adobe Animate CC is possible using our template file that includes the collapsing and expanding logic as well as the automatic setting of background color based on stage color. As Adobe Animate CC uses canvas to display the banner and creating a responsive canvas that doesn't flicker when resizing, we have edited code to support hidpi screens and responsive scaling. within the template.
Adobe Animate CC uses symbols for elements within canvas. The project file below has been set up with two main symbols with the type of movie clip that the template itself switches as it detects resizing of the page. All animations and visuals should only be done within those symbols.

If you do not wish to use our template please make sure your banner is vertically responsive, has a body background color and AdForm clicktag added.
