Adding Javascript To Smarty Templates

Wed, Jan 2, 2008

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I was figuring out how to include Javascript in Smarty templates this afternoon, because you can’t include them directly. After digging around a bit, I realised that all you had to do was to include the Javascript code within {literal}{/literal} tags, like this:

{literal} <script type="text/javascript"> var currentTime = new Date() var year = currentTime.getFullYear() document.write(year) </script> {/literal}

And once that’s done, you can use Javascript in your Smarty template. Problem solved!
