Is it possible to use the new hidden template feature with javascript templates?

Either it’s not supported or I’m doing something wrong.  It breaks my javascript when I attempt to hide them.

No, you can’t.

The reason is that if you visit the template, it will not appear.  Javascript has to be presented to the browser and readable - it is parsed by the browser, not by the server.  That is the main difference between something like PHP and Javascript.

If you can’t see it, neither can the browser.  If you call javascript as a hidden template, then the browser won’t see it.

The exception would be if you were embedding it directly into the page - because the embed is processed by EE.

So this won’t work:

<script src="{path="includes/.javascript"}"></script>

but this will work:

{embed="includes/.javascript"}

Where includes/.javascript has JS code:

<script type="text/javascript">
your js code
</script>

Hope that helps =)

Makes total sense.  Thanks for your reply.

My pleasure. =)
