I actually have 2 questions. First is it possible to implement javascript in the teplates, I plugged a script in and the entire page went blank. I cut it from a static page so I know that it works.

Second, where are the head tags located for the store?

I found the head tags inside of home.tpl for each area...

Yup, just make sure you wrap the javascript in

{literal}

javascript

{/literal}

tags so smarty doesn't break it.

Hi , I'm trying to get a mouseover menu for an adult lingerie +toys site and after careful editing of the menu.js i thought it might work......but theres no mouseover.
Any ideas were I'm going wrong.

menu.js contents :-



var imagePairs = new Array();
var imagePairCount = 0;
var imageDir = "/images/";

function loadImagePair() { // expects four arguments: name, targetname, and on and off image file path/names.
imagePairs[imagePairCount] = new Object();
imagePairs[imagePairCount].name = loadImagePair.arguments[0];
imagePairs[imagePairCount].targetname = loadImagePair.arguments[1];
imagePairs[imagePairCount].imageOn = new Image();
imagePairs[imagePairCount].imageOn.src = imageDir + loadImagePair.arguments[2];
imagePairs[imagePairCount].imageOff = new Image();
imagePairs[imagePairCount].imageOff.src = imageDir + loadImagePair.arguments[3];
imagePairCount++;
}

function loadImages() {
// four arguments: name, targetname, and on and off image file path/names.

loadImagePair('Anal_Ecstasy', 'Anal_Ecstasy', 'analecstasy-button_on.jpg', 'analecstasy-button_off.jpg');
loadImagePair('Erotic_oils', 'Erotic_oils', 'eroticoils-button_on.jpg', 'eroticoils-button_off.jpg');
loadImagePair('Forhim', 'Forhim', 'forhim-button_on.jpg', 'forhim-button_off.jpg');
loadImagePair('Funandgames', 'Funandgames', 'funandgames-button_on.jpg', 'funandgames-button_off.jpg');
loadImagePair('Gayzone', 'Gayzone', 'gayzone-button_on.jpg', 'gayzone-button_off.jpg');
loadImagePair('LadiesPleasureZone', 'LadiesPleasureZone', 'lpz-button_on.jpg', 'lpz-button_off.jpg');
loadImagePair('Lingerie', 'Lingerie', 'lingerie-button_on.jpg', 'lingerie-button_off.jpg');
loadImagePair('LustforLatexandLeather', 'LustforLatexandLeather', 'lll-button_on.jpg', 'lll-button_off.jpg');
loadImagePair('Playmates', 'Playmates', 'playmates-button_on.jpg', 'playmates-button_off.jpg');
loadImagePair('RealFeelStrap-ons', 'RealFeelStrap-ons', 'realfeel-button_on.jpg', 'realfeel-button_off.jpg');
loadImagePair('StockingsandPanties', 'StockingsandPanties', 'stockings-button_on.jpg', 'stockings-button_off.jpg');
loadImagePair('Vibrators', 'Vibrators', 'vibrators-button_on.jpg', 'Vibrators-button_off.jpg');
loadImagePair('SpecialOffers', 'SpecialOffers', 'specialoffers-button_on.jpg', 'specialoffers-button_off.jpg');
}

function imgOn(imageName) {
var i;
window.status = imageName;
for (i=0; i<imagePairCount; i++) {
if (imagePairs[i].name == imageName) {
var cmdstr = "document." + imagePairs[i].targetname + ".src = imagePairs[i].imageOn.src";
eval(cmdstr);
}
}
}

function imgOff(imageName) {
var i;
window.status = imageName;
for (i=0; i<imagePairCount; i++) {
if (imagePairs[i].name == imageName) {
var cmdstr = "document." + imagePairs[i].targetname + ".src = imagePairs[i].imageOff.src";
eval(cmdstr);
}
}
}

the head.tpl has the menu.js attached to it in the same dir and the button images are in a "images" subdir within that dir. Should it be a full path to it e.g. htt://www....../xcart/skin1/images/ etc

Not too sure if i understand about this "literal" in the .js
Any help appreciated.
thanks

This is from the Smarty site:

Literal tags allow a block of data to be taken literally, not being interpreted by the Smarty engine. This is handy for things like javascript sections, where there maybe curly braces and such things that would confuse the template parser. Anything within {literal}{/literal} tags is not interpreted, but displayed as-is.

It's just so the script doesn't get touched until the user's browser gets to it.
