Hi Rob,

Where in the example below would you insert the comment?

Not sure I understand. It is just for a script element where you include a js/json resource:

<script src="path/to/my.js" type="text/javascript">//</script>

Thanks,

Tim

Interesting!  Can you explain how/why that works?

It is just a javascript comment that keeps the element from closing :)

I reckon using a separate .js file is the way to go - I especially
appreciate the {' '} hint.
You could do away with ML processing for this type of thing if you
just used:
<script>//</script>

I ran into similar problems with in-script and in-line javascript in
xquery pages, but all problems were mitigated by relocating all JS
code
to *.js files and referencing them via <script type="text/
javascript"
src="file.js">{' '}</script>, leaving only simple JS function
calls in
my xquery code.

The {' '} is there between the script tags to prevent marklogic from
collapsing them into <script ... />.

I have trying to embed some javascript in an xquery file and am
enclosing
the script in a CDATA section, but when the page renders, the
less than
operator

  <

is getting converted to

  &lt;

which renders the javascript useless.  Here's the javascript code
(note
the
less than comparator used in for loop of the clearForm function)
embedded
in
the head element:

---------------------------------------------------------

<head><title>blah blah blah</title>
 <script type="text/javascript">
     <![CDATA[
     var foo = function() { alert('test') };

     function clearForm(oForm) {
         var elements = oForm.elements;
         oForm.reset();
         for(i=0; i<elements.length; i++) {
             field_type = elements[i].type.toLowerCase();
             switch(field_type) {
                 case "text":
                 case "password":
                 case "textarea":
                 case "hidden":
                     elements[i].value = "";
                     break;
                 case "radio":
                 case "checkbox":
                     if (elements[i].checked) {
                         elements[i].checked = false;
                     }
                     break;
                 case "select-one":
                 case "select-multi":
                     elements[i].selectedIndex = -1;
                     break;
                 default:
                     break;
             }
         }
     }
     ]]>
