Anyone here know if you can use .js in a Smarty Template?

It works like a charm (I'm doing it).

Google also told me yes, but my server gave me a parse error pointing at the line where my otherwise functional .js is located.

If I am only testing the .js, do I need the encompassing html?

If you have { or } in your javascript, you need to change left_delimiter and right_delimiter.

I've set mine to {{ and }}

If you use { you do not need to change the delimiters.

You can simply place {literal} and {/literal} around the javascript and it will not parse what is between them for smarty.

That's what I was looking for. I think.

I didn't understand that at first, but now I see what you mean.

Exactly... do the same thing with CSS

I was going to add a clarification, but it was too late to edit it

I used to use {literal} and {/literal} before, but it was a pain in the butt because I have a lot of templates (I'm using it in my LL scripts) and I had a tendency to forget about it between the times I needed it. So for me it was a lot easier to change the delimiters. Never needed to worry about it after that.
