I have various jquery snippets that I want ready access to so I have them in one template within EE. (These are separate and apart from full-fledged js which are not contained within EE.)

I don’t want accesses to count as template hits. Do I…

—create a template consisting of everything from opening script tag to closing script tag and then embed it using the syntax {embed="myjs/somescripting"} OR

—create a template consisting of just the meaty part and then link to it using the syntax [script type=“text/javascript” src=”{path="myjs/somescripting"}”][/script]

And when does one set the template type to Javascript?

To tell you the truth, I rarely keep css and js files inside of EE, I normally keep them as stand alone files on the server.

If it’s the template count that worries you, you can always write a cron job to zero out the template hits.

Here’s what I found when searching on the topic: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/144935/#712074

Does that advice help?

Can you explain what the purpose is of setting the template type to Javascript? And when to utilize it?

municipal,

You set your template to Javascript when you want to return it as a Javascript page with a Content-Type: text/javascript

You would not include the opening script tag to closing script tag

I don’t want accesses to count as template hits

Easiest is then to just not include your Javascript as an EE template but as a stand alone files on the server as Sue does.

Okay, thanks for the assist.

Glad to see that helped. Post again as needed, please.
