problem to insert script

[drerolf]

Hi outthere, I made an extension which inserts a piece of javascript into the
source, including: <script>...</script> and <noscript>...</noscript>. By using
this extension in codeview everything works fine. Here comes the problem: In
the designview the script maybe is inserted between an open <p> tag. If now the
user is writing something, he'll writes it into the <noscript></noscript> area
and not after the hole piece of JS which has been pasted into the code. How
can I avoid this? Hope you know what I mean... CU, drerolf

How are you diong the insert?

It may be possible to insert your code, and place the insertion point after the noscript block. However, I don't think you will be able to prevent folks from being able to type in that location later.

Thanks for your reply, The script is inserted in place (cursor position) via
the objectTag(). The cursor should stay after: <script>...</script> and
<noscript>...</noscript> HERE. Design-view can't show javascript, so it shows
the text between the noscript e.g.: 'JS is disabled'. Cursor stands after
'disabled'. Changing to codeview shows the same result - cursor stands after
'disabled' and not after the </noscript> tag. If now the user inserts some
text, he writes it between the <noscript>...</noscript> You wrote: >However, I

experience are writing between <noscript>...</noscript>... , but I mentioned
that already. ;-) Any ideas? Thanks a lot. drerolf

Try using insertObject(), rather than objectTag(), with code similar to the following:

function insertObject(){
var objectCode = '<script>...</s' + 'cript><noscript>...</nos' + 'cript>';
var dom = dw.getDocumentDOM();
dom.insertHTML(objectCode);
return '';
}

When that is run, it inserts the block of code and it is hightlighted. If they immediately type it will wipe out the addition, as is true of any selection. If they arrow off the selection to the left, they will be placed before the opeing of the <script> tag, and it they arrow off to the right, they will be after the closing </noscript> tag.


Note: I'm breaking up the closing tags becuase 1) you have to for the closing script tag as DW will think its the close of the containg script block, and 2) thought it would be safe to do the same with te noscript, but maybe not required.

Hi danilocelic, Thanks a lot for your help. I nearly stopped working on this
extension. But now: It works perfectly! I'm not sure if changing objectTag()
or insertObject() was the point. What I've been ignored was breaking up the
closing tags. (foolish mistake) Maybe that was the point. Your help is very
much appreciated. Well, have a beer from me (someday, if we meet ;-) ! CU,
