Question

I am working in a Corporate Real Estate CRM. Javascript is allowed but not supported. When I insert this:

<script>

function tick(){
    $('#ticker li:first').slideUp( function () { $(this).appendTo($('#ticker')).slideDown(); });
}
setInterval(function(){ tick () }, 5000);

The code is converted to this:

<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
    function tick(){
        $('#ticker li:first').slideUp( function () { $(this).appendTo($('#ticker')).slideDown(); });
    }
    setInterval(function(){ tick () }, 5000);
// ]]></script>

How do I fix this problem? Thanks in advance for helping a “newbie”!

Answer 1

Not sure what server-side functionality is doing that, but that’s actually sensible and nothing to worry about.

The modifications to the <script> and </script> tags are to

1. explicitly specify the language
2. prevent non-javascript browsers from rendering (at least most of) the javascript into the page.
