I use javascript to open pop ups for forms etc elsewhere on my site. I usually add the following code imediatly before </head> (the code generator says anywhere between <head> and </head>). When I add this to index.template I get a template parse error. Is there something I should have added to this to make index.tmeplate to open as normal? Maybe I'm missing some quotes or something?

Code Select


<script language='javascript'>

acePopupWindow=window.open('',myname,settings);
if(infocus=='front'){acePopupWindow.focus();acePopupWindow.location='http://www.fun-times.co.uk/tour.php';}
}

</script>

I plan to launch the popup from a link in a thread.

The problem is, that you need to escape all of the 's in your script... so, turn ' into \'.

Do you mean every single quote in the code should have a backslash in front of it?

Is this what you mean:
