enable/disable one javascript code

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 15.2008

Hello,
I have this javascript code on my website:

<script src=”{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/answers.js” type=”text/javascript”> </script>

I am wondering is there a check box I can make, so if someone checks the box than the above code is enabled otherwise its disabled and doesn’t do anything. I dont want a submit button but checking it automatically makes it enabled/disabled. I dont know how to do that and any help would be appreciated.

@KorMay 16.2008 — javascript functions are inactive anyway, unless an event (following the user's action) fires the function(s). What is the content of that js file of yours? What doest it suppose to do?

@tushar707authorMay 16.2008 — well as soon as I put this code: <script src="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/answers.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>

it is automatically active. When people double click on a word, it gives them a popup defintion of the word. I want a checkbox to enable and disable this feature. The javascript file is too big but here is the link: http://site.answers.com/main/js/web_answertip.js?ANSW.nafid=8

@KorMay 16.2008 — Oh, no... It is impossible to follow that code; it is unwrapped. It's hard to say, unless we know if there is an event which call a function and which is that function.

@tushar707authorMay 16.2008 — so is there no way i can make a check box so if its checked, this code is enabled

<script src="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/answers.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>

otherwise its disabled? Like a hide or something? because if can do that, then it would solve all my problems.
