    Javascript In Article Not Executing

    Posted 14 years 6 months ago
    • I'm not a Javascript guy so I don't really understand what I need to do to get some javascript working in an article in an older Rockettheme template (Chromatophore - Apr 08). [ I hope you don't consider this a template specific question - my apologies if it really is, I don 't intend to circumvent your forum rules.]

      I know that javascript works on the site because this simple script works in an article:
      <script type="text/javascript">
document.write("Hello World!");
</script>

      But the following more complex Javascript doesn't. I put this script into a plain .html document on the server and it executes, but when put into an article on the site it doesn't work. I'd appreciate any insight to get it working. Below is the full page html version.
      <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>404 Test</title>
</head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript">
 
var tl=new Array(
 
"This script doesn't work in an article using the Chromatophore theme.",
"It works in a simple html page on the server.",
"Any idea what needs to be done to get it working?",
"Thanks!"
 
);
var speed=80;
var index=0; text_pos=0;
var str_length=tl[0].length;
var contents, row;
 
function type_text()
{
  contents='';
  row=Math.max(0,index-6);
  while(row<index)
    contents += tl[row++] + '\r\n';
  document.textform.elements[0].value = contents + tl[index].substring(0,text_pos) + "_";
  if(text_pos++==str_length)
  {
    text_pos=0;
    index++;
    if(index!=tl.length)
    {
      str_length=tl[index].length;
      setTimeout("type_text()",1500);
    }
  } else
    setTimeout("type_text()",speed);
 
}
function MM_callJS(jsStr)
{
//v2.0
   return eval(jsStr)
}
//-->
</script><body onload="type_text();">
      <center>
      <form name="textform">
      <textarea cols="70" rows="8" wrap="soft" readonly>
      </textarea>
<br /><br /><a href="index.php" title="Home">HOME</a><br /><br />
      </form>
</body>
</html>

    • Thanks for your response. I usually just turn off the editor when putting this kind of code in an article. I think my problem is more what part of the code to use inside the article.

      Note - Edited to provide more information:

      If I insert all the code from <script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript"> to </script> it does not execute. I suspect that some of the code between the <body> tags such as
      <body onload="type_text();">

      is needed to trigger the script. I've tried using it a couple of different ways without success.

    • I suspect that the onload command is not in the right place when trying to trigger this when the article is loaded.

      Anyone have an idea?

    • try one of those extensions that allow you to execute j-script code in articles and modules from the JED or the use the one I mentioned above.

    • Ive been using Flexi Custom Code module for adding Javascript and PHP to modules.
      You can then use the {loadposition ...} to get it into an article i guess :)

      Also some jQuery stuff conflicts with Mootools, just so your aware!
