Question

hey,

In twiki3 I used to include:

<script type="text/javascript">
...code
</script>

on top of the editable part of the page and then referring to the proper function.

I want the script to be processed on client site. In twiki3 I just use

<script>Function(paramethers)</script>

to call a function on a page. In twiki4 this doesn't work unless I put <pre></pre> tags around

<script>Function(parameters)</script>

Is there a way to keep the old way in twiki4? I don't know where this can be configured.

Thanks a lot

Answer

I do not think this is configurable. This is what I typically use to avoid interference by the TWiki rendering engine:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Hide JavaScript and <pre> escape TWiki rendering
... your JavaScript goes here...
// Stop hiding and stop </pre> escaping TWiki rendering -->
</script>

This should work across all TWiki versions.

Peter,

I created a page wit this content:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Hide JavaScript and <pre> escape TWiki rendering
function logFiles(strServer)
{
 document.write( "Logfiles".link("javascript:OpenPopup('file://" + strServer + "/LogFiles','width=600,height=650,top=20')") );

}

// Stop hiding and stop </pre> escaping TWiki rendering -->
</script>

---++ TWiki3
|*Host*|*Log Files*|
|server1|<script>logFiles("server1")</script>|
|server2|<script>logFiles("server2")</script>|
|server3|<script>logFiles("server3")</script>|


---++ TWiki4
|*Host*|*Log Files*|
|server1|<pre><script>logFiles("server1")</script></pre>|
|server2|<pre><script>logFiles("server2")</script></pre>|
|server3|<pre><script>logFiles("server3")</script></pre>|

This how the page renders using TWiki3

This how the page renders using TWiki4

Basically the TWiki4 version works, but the rendered page looks not really good. I tried using

|server3|<pre><script></pre>logFiles("server3")<pre></script></pre>|

That does not work at all.

Any tips how to solve this?

Thanks

Claus
