I’ve created the Custom Field “custom-script” it has a Field Type of textarea and the “Default Text Formatting for This Field” is set to “None”

To bring this into the page I have:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="equine-news" limit="1" disable="member_data|comments|trackbacks|pagination" status="open|Announcement"}
{if custom-script != ""}{custom-script}{/if} 
{/exp:weblog:entries}

If “custom-script” is empty it’s not included and all is well.

If “custom-script” is not empty then the script is included.  The problem is the it’s also including a pair of empty p tags (see below)  I don’t know why they’re showing up or how to prevent them from being added. Appreciate any help, thanks ~Jules

<!-- BEGIN custom script   -->
script type="text/javascript"
 my script
script> 
 
<!-- END custom script  -->

What version and build of EE are you using? Any extensions? Do you’ve got a link?

ExpressionEngine 1.6.9
Build:  20100430

Using Firefox the issue was on line 1047 in the source code.

Not exactly sure what you mean by extensions.  I of course have a number of extensions installed, but I find it unlikely that you want me to list them all out. I didn’t have to install any extension to implement this additional field.

thanks for your help!

Jules, if you temporarily disable your extensions by using the big green button labeled “Disable Extensions”, does the problem still happen?

I temporarily disabled my extensions as suggested and the p tags still showed up

How did you add the entry? Was it from within the EE control panel back end, or some other method?

Yes, I added the entry using the backend manager. Hover over Publish and click on Equine News.  A new article entry page shows up and I add content.

Can you post the exact text you’re using in your custom script? I’m going to try it in a vanilla 1.6.9 install.

This is the custom script that is inside the custom field on the article from: http://www.meddletonequine.com/equine-news/read/what-are-summer-sores

But since the forum removes js it would be easier to look at the source code of the page.  It adds an empty pair of p tags right after the closing script tag

Hi WebbDiva,

Are you cut and pasting this script from somewhere else or typing it in directly?

Cheers

Greg

I copied the code directly from my page and pasted it here.  Just figured javascript was removed because it wasn’t allowed.

Jules

Yeah, it gets removed.

Unfortunately, I can’t replicate the issue you’re seeing with a simple attempt to replicate.

I don’t get a trailing paragraph pair.

Can you try this by itself on a more vanilla template?
