Javascript and SSI

[Kim]

Well - you can't use .html or .shtml because the program is written in PHP. Why is determining if the javascript is on or off important?

I don't understand what you mean? I am just looking for a way to use my syndicated javascript on some pages of my site and have them appear to those who have javascript enabled or disabled.

I have been searching the internet and came across some techniques such as using SSI. If there is a better way or a specific "Zen" method I would love to know.

including javascript is pretty easy look in the javascript directory in your Zen Cart install for instructions on including custom scripts.

You are right, javascript is incredibly easy to install. But what about when you are changing it to work for everyone regardless of javascript enabled or not (besides using the <noscript> option?


Anyway, out of curiousity, where is this "javascript directory in your Zen Cart install"? I can't locate it.

Thanks,
Nick

The auto-loading of javascript that Kim mentioned is intended for auto-loading of javascript content that is needed on all pages.

If you're attempting to use javascript to display specific content on a specific spot on specific pages, you won't use that approach. Instead, you would simply insert the required javascript directly where you want it, whether in the appropriate template, or in a define-page, etc.

Since you haven't shown what you're after with a URL to demonstrate what you've tried or what's not working, there's nothing much more that can be done to offer assistance.
