| ©The Web Trick | Code Box for Blog Post |
Adding a code box with a copy button on your Blogger posts can be a useful feature for your readers. It allows them to easily copy and paste code snippets from your blog into their own projects. In this article, we will show you how to add a code box with a copy button to your Blogger posts.
Before we start let's take a look at its Demo.
How to create Code Box?
Creating Codebox in your blog will not require much knowledge about HTML, CSS or JS because I have already designed it for you. What you need to do is to implement the codes at right place in your Blogger Theme XML.
Important!Before we begin adding XML codes, I strongly advise you to make a backup of your current theme. If an issue arises, you can always restore it later.
Step 1: First of all Login to your Blogger Dashboard.
Step 2: On Blogger Dashboard, click Theme.
Step 3: Click the arrow down icon next to the 'Customize' button.
Step 4: Choose Edit HTML, you will be redirected to the editing page.
Step 5: Next search the ]]></b:skin> code and paste the CSS code just above the ]]></b:skin> code.
If your template contains a dark mode function, and you want it to be a different color when it's turned on, you can change the codes to suit your needs. Each template may have a different dark mode class, so please adjust accordingly. You can replace the marked class with the dark mode class from your template.

.tNtf span{position:fixed;left:24px;bottom:-70px;display:inline-flex;align-items:center;text-align:center;justify-content:center;margin-bottom:20px;z-index:99981;background:#323232;color:rgba(255,255,255,.8);font-size:14px;font-family:inherit;border-radius:3px;padding:13px 24px; box-shadow:0 5px 35px rgba(149,157,165,.3);opacity:0;transition:all .1s ease;animation:slideinwards 2s ease forwards;-webkit-animation:slideinwards 2s ease forwards}
@media screen and (max-width:500px){.tNtf span{margin-bottom:20px;left:20px;right:20px;font-size:13px}}
@keyframes slideinwards{0%{opacity:0}20%{opacity:1;bottom:0}50%{opacity:1;bottom:0}80%{opacity:1;bottom:0}100%{opacity:0;bottom:-70px;visibility:hidden}}
@-webkit-keyframes slideinwards{0%{opacity:0}20%{opacity:1;bottom:0}50%{opacity:1;bottom:0}80%{opacity:1;bottom:0}100%{opacity:0;bottom:-70px;visibility:hidden}}
.darkMode .tNtf span{box-shadow:0 10px 40px rgba(0,0,0,.2)}
Note that we already have used the above Toast Notification CSS Code in previous posts. If you already have added it in your Theme XML, then delete toast notification css from above code and follow the next steps.
Step 6: Paste the following HTML just below to <body> tag. If you don't find it, it is probably already parsed which is <body>.
<!--[ Toast Notification by The Web Trick ]--> <div id='toastNotif' class='tNtf'></div>
Again don't add if you already have added it Toast Notification.
Step 7: Now add the following JavaScript Code just above to </body> tag. If you don't find it, it is probably already parsed which is </body>.
<script>/*<![CDATA[*/ /* Codebox Script by The Web Trick */ function copyC(e,t){var o=document.getElementById(e),n=document.getElementById(t),e=getSelection(),t=document.createRange();e.removeAllRanges(),t.selectNodeContents(n),e.addRange(t),document.execCommand("copy"),e.removeAllRanges(),o.classList.add("copied"),document.getElementById("toastNotif").innerHTML="<span>Copied to Clipboard!</span>",setTimeout(()=>{o.classList.remove("copied")},3e3)} /*]]>*/</script>
Step 8: Finally, click this icon to save your changes.
That's done! Now, anywhere you want Codebox to appear in your blog posts, use the HTML codes below.
<!--[ Code Box 1 ]-->
<div class='cBox'>
<div class='cBoxH'>
<!--[ Heading ]-->
<span>HTML</span>
<!--[ Copy Button ]-->
<button id='copy1' class='cBoxB' onclick="copyC('copy1','code1')">
<i class='icn'></i>
</button>
</div>
<!--[ Content ]-->
<div id='code1'>
<pre>Your_codes_here</pre>
</div>
</div>
<!--[ Code Box 2 ]-->
<div class='cBox'>
<div class='cBoxH'>
<!--[ Heading ]-->
<span>CSS</span>
<!--[ Copy Button ]-->
<button id='copy2' class='cBoxB' onclick="copyC('copy2','code2')">
<i class='icn'></i>
</button>
</div>
<!--[ Content ]-->
<div id='code2'>
<pre>Your_codes_here</pre>
</div>
</div>
<!--[ Code Box 3 ]-->
<div class='cBox'>
<div class='cBoxH'>
<!--[ Heading ]-->
<span>JS</span>
<!--[ Copy Button ]-->
<button id='copy3' class='cBoxB' onclick="copyC('copy3','code3')">
