Question

so i am declaring a variable inside of a .php file

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/script/jscript_pages.js">
        var templatePath = "<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>";
    </script>

But i want to use the variable templatePath inside of jscript_pages.js but when i do it like this my console says: Uncaught ReferenceError…

I hope someone can help 🙂

Thanks

The content of a script element is alternative content to use if the browser doesn’t support src, it isn’t a script to run before running the external script.

Use two script elements.

<script>
    var templatePath = "<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>";
</script>
<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/script/jscript_pages.js"></script>
