Impossible to get Javascript working – help!!

    I have a site, in which I have the first page using some PHP and javascript code of my own. For the PHP part I got Exec-PHP working perfectly. The problem starts with the Javascript portion.

    In my post I simply have:

    <?php
include("whatever.php");
?>

    Inside whatever.php I have some javascript code to dynamically update a form and validate it. Problem is, the javascript code is getting “messed with” by WP. It adds HTML tags, and it converts characters to HTML codes, rendering it useless.

    I tried using Text Control, no use.
    I tried activating Multi-site, thus enabling unfiltered-html, no use.

    I’m about to quit WP for good if I can’t run a simple javascript validation on my form. How hard can this be?

    Please help! thanks

    GOT IT! Amazing how stuff simply “solves itself” the minute you are about to quit! This happened to my a hundred times in my developer career.

    Well, I don’t know if unfiltered-html is needed or not, but the trick was:
    1) Enable Text Control
    2) In the post where u have the javascript code, use No formatting, and No character encoding
    3) Put all the functions, and preferably MOST of the code in a .js file, and include it in the header.php of the template, inside the HEAD section, like this:

    ...
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="/casorio.js"></script>
</head>

    Maybe it won’t work, but keep trying. I just spent 3h trying to figure this one out, and eventually it worked! =)
