Using "advanced HTML"

Question

My apologies if this is in the wrong section. I am extremely
new to Dreamweaver (and this particular forum). My prior experience
is primarily with FrontPage 2000. I am trying to recreate my
newspaper site — currently in FrontPage on a PC — in
Dreamweaver on a Mac. I am recreating the pages from scratch rather
than trying to open the FP pages in DW, as I suspect the code from
FP is rather bloated.
We have two things we like to place on the front page: a
dynamic weather "sticker" from wunderground.com and an Amber Alert
dynamic sticker that changes automatically when an alert goes out.
In FrontPage, I place the supplied HTML as a component using the
Advanced HTML feature, but I have not figured out how to apply this
in Dreamweaver. I can get the stickers to show up on my page while
I'm editing it in Dreamweaver, but they don't appear when I preview
the page in Firefox.
FWIW, in FrontPage, I can see the current weather sticker as
I'm editing the page, but can't see the Amber Alert sticker until
it previews in the browser. Any assistance or explanations would be
most welcome!

Answer 1

I don't know if this will help explain anything, but here is
the HTML code I was given to recreate the weather sticker. I'm just
not entirely sure how to implement it correctly.
