HTML displaying and working in editor, but not in preview

my html animation element is displaying right in editor but not in preview mode?

How it looks in editor: [


]

How it looks in preview: [


]

The code I’m trying to implement: [ GitHub - codingstar-jason/3D-Flip-Book-Tutorial-Customized-CodingStar ]

How can I fix this? I tried displaying it as an iframe and it looks correct, but then it loses it’s ability to press the buttons to turn the page.

Enable it as an iFrame again, then in an HTML element do:

<style>
[the css code provided]
</style>

[html code provided]

<script>
[javascript provided]
</script>

Here’s the full thing I tested and it worked:

<style>
/* General */

* {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
    height: 100vh;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    font-family: sans-serif;
    background-color: #dac400;
}

/* Button */
button {
    border: none;
    background-color: transparent;
    margin: 10px;
    cursor: pointer;
    transition: transform 0.5s;
}

button:focus {
    outline: none;
}

button:hover i {
    color: rgb(102, 102, 102);
}

i {
    color: gray;
    font-size: 4em;
}

/* Book */
.book {
    width: 350px;
    height: 500px;
    position: relative;
    transition: transform 0.5s;
}

.paper {
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    perspective: 1500px;
}

.front {
    backface-visibility: hidden;
    border-left: 3px solid #dac400;
}

.front, 
.back {
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    background-color: white;
    transform-origin: left;
    transition: transform 0.5s;
}

.front {
    z-index: 1;
}

.back {
    z-index: 0;
}

.front-content,
.back-content {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}

.back-content {
    transform: rotateY(180deg)
}

/* Paper Flipped */
.flipped .front,
.flipped .back {
    transform: rotateY(-180deg)
}

/* Paper Z-index */
#p1 {
    z-index: 3;
}

#p2 {
    z-index: 2;
}

#p3 {
    z-index: 1;
}

/* Customization */

.book-title {
    font-size: 3em;
    margin-bottom: 40px;
}

.cover-img {
    width: 200px;
    height: 270px;
    object-fit: cover;
    border-radius: 30px;
}

#b1 {
    padding: 20px;
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 1.2em;
    justify-content: space-around;
}

#b1 h2 {
    font-size: 2em;
    margin-top: 10px;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
}

#b1 p {
    margin-bottom: 20px;

:slightly_smiling_face:

My guess is some HTML bubble has is conflicting with this HTML, and when you do the iFrame if you’re running the Javascript on page load it can’t find any of the elements anymore because it is isolated. So instead you can run the JS inside the HTML element itself.

Perfect, thanks for explaining the proper format and structure as well!
