Adding Class and ID attributes to Custom Sections

[JLarry5001]

Newbie having trouble here. 

My overall problem is that Class and ID attributes are not available on most elements in HS. (Insert rant here)

My solution is to create a new section that has class and id attributes available to the user to edit. I have done this with custom modules but I'm having trouble with sections. Has anyone else had trouble doing this?

Thanks @GiantFocal!

If you have a moment, could you elaborate on Option 2? I'm just getting started with HubL and am not familiar with how to append class and ID to a parent.

I appreciate it.

Hi @JLarry5001,

Sections don't support IDs/classes. Two workarounds you can try:

1. Develop section-as-module with custom ID and class fields. 
2. Develop a "Settings" module that appends custom ID and class values to the section it's added into. 

We use approach #2 in all of our HubSpot themes.
