Richard Stronkman	Thursday 24 February 2005 2:14:42 pm When I place the following code in my template file, it works fine: <script> var test = "{'test.jpg'\|ezimage(no)}"; document.write("test:" + test); </script> It outputs: <b>design/mysite/images/test.jpg</b> But when I place the code (between the script tags) in an external js-file and include the javascript file in my template, the output is: <b>"{'test.jpg'\|ezimage(no)}"</b> I have tried several alternatives: - single quotes, double quotes, no quotes But whatever I tried, the url of my image file was not returned. Can you help me pleaze! Best regards Richard Stronkman
Eirik Alfstad Johansen	Thursday 24 February 2005 11:11:43 pm Hi Richard, My guess is that, if you want the template code in your js file to be processed, you need to put the code in a separate tpl file instead, and include it the normal way you would an external tmpl file.

When I place the following code in my template file, it works fine:

It outputs:
<b>design/mysite/images/test.jpg</b>

But when I place the code (between the script tags) in an external js-file and include the javascript file in my template, the output is:

<b>"{'test.jpg'|ezimage(no)}"</b>

I have tried several alternatives:
- single quotes, double quotes, no quotes

But whatever I tried, the url of my image file was not returned.

Can you help me pleaze!

Best regards

Hi Richard,

My guess is that, if you want the template code in your js file to be processed, you need to put the code in a separate tpl file instead, and include it the normal way you would an external tmpl file.
