java - the great topic

I'm trying to use some java programs different then I've done it before (and that was within a block using one java app).

I need this stuff in the <head> area

Quote:

I would assume it goes in the my_header.php file since that is called within the <head> area. But I'm not having any luck with what syntax to put.

Then I need to add this in the <body> section - but again what syntax do I use?

Quote:

Since this isn't in a stand-alone block I'm not sure what to type in.

thanks

There are several ways to accomplish this. You could add the 3 statements after the closing ?> tag. You could write echo statements. I always recommend the HEREDOC sysntax. That's exactly why the PHP authors created it. It allows you to add raw html, css, javascript, java, etc. to your PHP scripts w/o having to worry about escaping quotes and such.

Code:

echo <<< _JS_


<script language="javascript" src="dropdown_menu/sniffer.js"></script> 


<script language="javascript1.2" src="dropdown_menu/custom.js"></script> 


<script language="javascript1.2" src="dropdown_menu/style.js"></script> 


_JS_;

Here is more info on this technique http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/postt28.html . As to the other script, try adding it as a 4th line in your example and see if it might work ok there.
