VF and script tags

Hi,
Does someone know how I can add a piece of javascript code to a Visual Format field? I did the following (in HTML view):

<script language="javascript">document.write("hello world");</script>

When I change to WYSIWYG mode all you see at the position of the javascript is //

When I then change back to HTML view, VF has changed my code to:
<script language="javascript">//</script>

When I now generate the html page, the javascript code will not work! Please help!

Regards,
JvdW

I think the solution may be to add linefeeds around the code.

<script language="javascript">

document.write("hello world");

</script>

Same issue here. If you enter the following in the VFE HTML mode:

<script></script>

The "cleaning" process transforms it into:

<script>//</script>

...which causes unwanted "//" in the WYSIWYG mode. Does anyone have any suggestions?

you should be able to change the autoclean functions in your config file. somewhere around...


<standard autoclean="true" publish="cleanhtml">

Is there any definite solution for this problem?

It would be great if someone could reply with the solution.

I don't think that this issue relates to code cleanup. As far as I have seen, VF always does this, it can even fail to open a DCR that will have some Javascript or FORM code in it.

My advice - if one has to do insert some code like this - enter it in a plain textarea
