Hi im trying to pull the value of the language file var inside js to use it in a validation statment.

i have tried this in the template file in my js section

Code:

 var answer = {$lang.anti_bot_answer};


but obviously it does not like that. I do have my js wrapped in literal, is it the syntax that is the issue?

Thanks


update:

i did some poking around a bit more and found a few things but

Code:


     answer =  "{$lang.anti_bot_answer|escape:javascript}";
     alert('hello'+ answer);
     return (false);



just returns hello{$lang.anti_bot_answer|escape:javascript}

got it, you have to close the literal just before the smarty var and then reopen it right after like so.

Code:


 answer =  {/literal}{$lang.anti_bot_answer|escape:javascript}{literal};

 


works, is there a better or more preferred way?

Without using AJAX, you can use autoescape functionality of Smarty3.
