+**NOTE:** I have submitted our proxy server URL to Gale, so the prefix will be automatically added to the widget.
+===== Pasting code =====
 NOTE: Code includes javascript, so you can insert it to a system that supports it, such as an html page or a LibGuide. The library content management system and university blogs do not support javascript.

+===== Troubleshooting =====
   * A space randomly inserted between the proxy prefix and the Ebsco url in the code breaks the search, but it can be fixed by removing that space by hand.
