I don’t feel right posting this in the tech support forums as it’s not really a core EE function… but rather something somewhat outside the box.

I have a javascript file that I would like to pass three EE variables to. I don’t care if the js file is linked to outside the system or even if it resides as a EE js template.  What I don’t want to do is turn off javascript protection in the entire system for EE to parse the js template and pick up the variables.

Has anyone been able to use a javascript file or template with variables passed from the EE system without turning off js protection? And IF so… what approach did you use?

Thanks for any ideas on this one!

Why don’t you just assign the JavaScript variables in the relevant template:

// Opening script tag goes here
var foo = "{foo}", bar = "{bar}";
// Closing script tag goes here

And then link to an external script file at the bottom of your template that references those global variables?

(Edit: the forum removed my script tags)
