I have some JavaScript in a template like so:
```
[removed]

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("#contact_form").validationAideEnable(null, {showInlineMessages:true});
    });

[removed]
```
And the {showInlineMessages:true} looks like it is being removed by EE because it thinks it’s a tag?

I tried the config protect_javascript value($conf[‘protect_javascript’] = “n”;), but no worky.

Thanks for any help.

Try setting the template type to “Static”, or “Javascript”, or simply introduce a linebreak after the curly quote: Javascript won’t care, and EE can’t confuse it with a variable.

Thanks, the line break did the trick. I tried the template as static, but it didn’t change anything.

Thanks for the quick help.
