Hello,

I have protect_javascript config var set to ‘y’ in config.php
```
$config['protect_javascript'] = "y"; //(which I think is mainly for curly braces)
```
EE Version:
```
v2.4.0 - Build: date  20120123
```
In my template I have this:
```
for (var i = 0, j = temp.length; i < j; i++) [removed]('' + temp[i] + ');
```
EE is outputting this:
```
for (var i = 0, j = temp.length; i < j; i++) [removed]('' + temp<i> + ');
```
Note that
```
temp[i]
```
has changed to
```
temp<i>
```
This is in a plain textarea custom field.

Ideas what’s going on?

Thanks
John

Hello johnniefp,

This is being converted to BBcode. = <i>.

There is no override for this, so the JS will need to go into a template.

You can also try
["i"]

This will stop the conversion to BBcode, but it’s now you have quote marks around the i.

Does that make sense?

Cheers,

Ahhh, That one drove me mad for hours!
I changed my js count var to a non BBCode clashing [h] alpha character and all is happy in the world.

Thanks
John
