    i just paste this basic script to ShortCode Template box;

    <script>
document.write("<p>My First JavaScript</p>");
</script>

    then i select “Advanced ShortCode” option ftom “ShortCode Type”. But it doesnt work.

    When i select “Simple One Tag ShortCode” or “Simple ShortCode with content” code works, i see “My First JavaScript” on post but “Advanced ShortCode” doesnt show anything.

  • Same problem here, the “Advanced Shortcode” doesn’t output anything that I put on the “ShortCode Template” field.

    The Advanced ShortCode JS Section could probably use some logical reworking. The Advanced Shortcode JS section puts the content in the footer. This is fine if you are trying to define some functions. But if you are trying to do a document.write() to a specific location on the page it wont work because it will write it to the footer. So there is no way to use advanced shortcode js section and output JS to the location shortcode was placed.

    If you are using Advanced Shortcode option I am pretty sure it ignores anything in the editor or in the shortcode template areas. It only takes into account the information inside of the ShortCode Advanced Settings Section.

    I would like to be able to define JS code that will show up in the footer(ex. js functions), and also be able to run specific JS code at the location of the shortcode(ex. document.write(“blah blah blah”))

    Bad practice to use JS document.write(). Instead, create a <div> at the desired location, then write into that.

    HTML:
    <div id="addtext"></div>

    JS:

    document.getElementById("addtext").innerHTML="Text to write...";

    Thanks for the best practice related to document.write() I will remember to use that.

    Even with the best practice of creating html then editing it with js I still see no way to do that while using Advanced Shortcode JS Option.

    Unless I am missing something.

    You kind of made a mess of things,
    The advanced shortcode only uses the php section and prints the JS at the wp_footer hook.

    The Simple ShortCode with content
    uses the template so you can use you code with that.

    In version 1.9.9 you can use the template section content in the php section by using the variable $sc_template;
