javascript a no no in txp?
I have a little javascript snippet I use when I display my email on my website. It looks like this:
<code>
<script>
<!—
var username = “myname”;
var hostname = “gmail.com”;
var linktext = “raspberryheaven”;
document.write(“<a href=” + “mail” + “to:” + username +
“@” + hostname + “>” + linktext + “</a>”)
//—>
</script>
</code>
I recently tried previewing and article i wrote using this method and nothing happens. If I configure my email this way, the page ends up blank where the email is supposed to be.
why would this be? It’s worked before for me on non txp stuff.

Re: javascript a no no in txp?
Thanks for the link, however, it left me with another question. If I decide to put
<code><txp:output_form form=“my_js_code” /></code> into a form and call it to the article….then what do I use to call the form?

Re: javascript a no no in txp?
Other way ;). Put your Javascript into a form called my_js_code, then in your article, call the form using <txp:output_form form="my_js_code" />.
form: my_js_code
<pre>
<script type="text/javascript">
var username = "myname";
var hostname = "gmail.com";
var linktext = "raspberryheaven";
document.write("<a href=" + "mail" + "to:" + username + "@" + hostname + ">" + linktext + "</a>")
</script>
</pre>
Article
<pre>
Blah blah blah. Email me at <txp:output_form form=“my_js_code” />.
</pre>
