How to show javascript in editor

Hi all,

i insert some javascript via the source button into a table, this works okay.
But when i turn back to the editor, the tables shows empty.
When i go to my website then everything is ok and the outcome of the javascript is shown.

Is there a way to see the outcome directly in de editor ?

And is there perhaps a plugin to use instead of insert it via the source button ?

Thanx

I'm assuming you want to show JavaScript, not to run it. Create a <pre> tag (use Formatted from the Format menu) and then use the button "Paste as plain text". This will encode your JavaScript properly.

You can also paste JS in the source view, if you would like to avoid <br/>'s and such in your script, but you have to replace all < with < and & with &

NO, actually i want to run the javascript in the editor.

When it's running it's easier to delete some items.

This is a page with advertising banners / buttons on it.

Is it possible to run it in the editor mode ???

I, too, would like to know if it is even possible to post javascript code within the FCKEditor text area, not to be viewed but to be executed on page load. We use FCKEditor in our CMS and our pages are all templates so several pages share the same template while the content is stored in a DB. Therefor, it would be best if we could post custom javascript code in each page by using FCKEditor.
hopefully there is a solution for this! thanks!!

Re: How to show javascript in editor

javascript inside the content area can't be executed, as it could modify the content, and each time that you load the page you would keep on modifying the code.

Just imagine this simple code:
document.write("Hello")

every time that you load the page you would get a new "hello" added.
If you want to interact with the content area you must write a plugin.
