Add the below code to the bottom of the body content.

<script> var clickTag = "https://www.google.com", adContainer = "#container"; document.querySelector(adContainer).style.cursor = "pointer"; document.querySelector(adContainer).addEventListener('click', function() { window.open(clickTag, '_blank'); }) </script>

You will need to change '#container' on the 3rd line of code to match the wrapping div of your creative.

If the div has an id, use '#' before the id name, otherwise if the div has a class, use '.' before the class name.

If the top level div has no id or class, add the following inside of the <div> tag:

id="container"

The div should look like this:

<div id="container">

You also need to change the clickTag variable to be the click URL that the creative will be using
