Hi, I am trying to add this javascript code. The idea is to hide product attributes on the product listing page, and show the attributes if the customer wishes to do so.


However I would really apreciate if someone could tell me the steps to install this javavascript http://www.tutorialtastic.co.uk/tuto...ith_javascript

I thought I had mastered the art of copy and paste javascript! How wrong I was.

Any help? What are the steps for add javascript. I have a jscript directory, I named my .js files with jscript_ as a prefix!

Yet I am still confused. Thank you.

TShooters, mate that was one of the first places I went.


However I don't understand how to apply the examples and description in there to my javascript because I don't see how it relates..

Step 1
I understand I need to have a jscript_ prefix for my .js file.

<script type="text/javascript">
	function showStuff(id) {
		document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'block';
	}
</script>

This goes into my js file. Capiche.

Step 2

<p><a href="#" onclick="showStuff('answer1'); return false;">What price are your apples?</a><br>
<span id="answer1" style="display: none;">Our apples are 30 pence </span></p>

I want this on my product listing page, so I place it in productlisting.php.

This is causes a problem because I don't know how to get the syntax correct. When I do it, my whole product listing page shows up as blank.


I hope this illustrates where I am going wrong with this.

I submit that /includes/modules/product_listing.php (which I think is what you really meant when you mentioned the non-existent productlisting.php filename above) is *not* the place to put any javascript unless you have very specific reason for putting it there. That's a PHP script file, dealing with business logic, not presentation/template content.

If you want to output something to the page, you use the template file, which would be tpl_modules_product_listing.php. That's the more appropriate place to be making javascript calls to the .js files already loaded for the page.
