Pop up for CVV2 definition - need help

I am trying to make a popup page that describes where to find the CVV2 code on one's credit card. However, I'm having trouble because I can't put the <script></script> html in the page header without the template deleting itself.

Can anyone suggest a way to create a simple popup page?

I'm using the latest version 3.5.x

Thanks!

Enclose them in {literal} tags.. such as:

Code:

{literal}

<script></script> 

{/literal}

This will prevent Smarty from parsing the script.

I tried that but it still didn't work. Probably because I suck at writing javascript. I'll keep trying.

Thanks!

How would you just add the text to the page. without it being any kind of popup?

I'd be happy if it was just noted below the field.

thanks!

I just ended up adding a page describing where to find the CVV2 that opens in a new window.

Ah...an easy one. All curly braces in your script must be enclosed in smarty {literal} tags to keep smarty from mistaking the javascript braces as smarty template tags. I usually just enclose the whole script in literal tags unless I need to substitute smarty variables into the actual javascript. So it would look like this in your template.

Code:

{literal} 

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2> 

<!-- 

function popup_cvv2_instructions(product_id) { 

     var w = "420"; //width of popup window

     var h = "420"; //height of popup

     window.open('/path/to/cvv2/instructions.html',"cvv2 help window","width="+w+",height="+h+",resizable,scrollbars=yes"); 

} 

--> 

</SCRIPT> 

{/literal}

Then on your link or button you want to use to open the window, you'd do this:

Code:

What's CVV2?

or you could put the exact same syntax from the above href into an onClick event for a button or whatever.
