Accessing Smarty Variable in Javascript??

Hi,

I'm trying to access an extra field value from within javascript. How can I do this??

Here is what I have if it helps, it's take from the customer/main/product.tpl: I'm trying to Alert( {$v.field_value} )

Code:

   {foreach from=$extra_fields item=v}

   {if $v.service_name eq 'Audio_Playlist_Link' }

       {if $v.field_value ne ''}



               <div id="flashPlayer">

                This text will be replaced by the flash music player.

                {$v.field_value}

              </div>

              {literal}

              <script type="text/javascript">

                 var so = new SWFObject("http://mindandzen.com/skin1/audio/audioplayer.swf", "audioplayer", "300", "100", "7", "#FFFFFF");





                 alert("{$v.field_value}");



                 so.addVariable("xmlFile", $v.field_value );

                 so.write("flashPlayer");

              </script>

              {/literal}

       {/if}

  {/if}

Re: Accessing Smarty Variable in Javascript??

The {literal} ... {/literal} means don't do anything smarty between those tags. You have two choices. Since you don't use any { or } in your javascript you can just remove the {literal} and {/literal}. If you think you might be adding in some ifs where you'll be using { and } you can either leave out the {literal} {/literal} and use {ldelim} and {rdelim} instead { and } in your javascript. Or you can leave in the {literal} {/literal} and change
{$v.field_value} to {/literal}{$v.field_value}{literal}.
