Javascript on a page based on my template

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 24.2005

I am trying to insert the Slide Show javascript on my page; however, the page is based on my template, so I cannot insert the slide show script into the locked portion of the page (in the head tag). I don’t want a slide show on every page of my site.

So how does one get a script on a page such as this: [url]http://www.Kinann.com/ChinaInvestment/pages/photos.htm[/url]

Right now there is nothing on the page except the latin jibberish for placement. But right where that is, is where I wanted to put a slide show.

Thank you
Pamela (PJ)

<HTML>

<Head>

</Head>

<Body>

<Script Language=JavaScript>

alert('Slide show code goes here')

</Script>

</Body>

</HTML>

@pjkinannauthorFeb 25.2005 — But what do you do with the part of the script that needs to be in the head tags? if you have a template, you can't do that on individual pages???

@Warren86Feb 25.2005 — None of the script MUST be within the Head tags. The example I posted is the example. Why not just try it with the code you want to insert, rather than continuing to ask "what if?"

@pjkinannauthorFeb 25.2005 — Well, I just didn't need to screw up my page. But I guess I can just save a copy and try it there.

Just that the instructions say there are 3 steps:

1. copy the code into the HEAD OF YOUR HTML

2. copy the onLoad event into the body

3. last coding in the body

So with those instructions I figured part of this has to go into the head, and that's impossible on a template based page.

So I'll just give it a try. thanks

@Warren86Feb 25.2005 — Yes. I understand. But NONE of the code, unless it contains document.write MUST be in the Head.

And I understand that you can't save a copy of the existing template.

Why not just try the code I initally posted, with a simple alert? Just to assure yourself that it will work.

Regarding the onload...

If you already have an onload statement in the opening Body tag, then there will be a problem.

If not, then do exactly as instructed.

If there is another onload in the opening Body tag, then I would do this:

In between any Script tags that you put within the Body tags, do this:

function init(){

firstOnloadFunction();

secondOnloadFunction();

}

window.onload=init;

And this comes with the understanding that those firstOnloadFunction is not the actual name of the function, and that it should be the actual name of the function.

@pjkinannauthorFeb 25.2005 — Okay, cool. Thank you so much for your help!

@Warren86Feb 25.2005 — You're welcome. I appreciate your courtesy. Take care.

And, I did't state this, but if there is an existing onload in the opening Body tag, obviously, eliminate it, and use the above code.
