Javascript *not* printing exactly (site_html.pl)
Hi,

On one of my client websites I use some Javascript to detect a Flash plugin, but Links is not printing the code completely.

Part of the code contains \n's which should be printed into the javascript/HTML, however links is treating it like a perl newline and simply printing the rest of the javascript on the next line.

Here's the original code from the site_html.pl file:

Code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript1.1>
<!--
var MM_contentVersion = 6;
var plugin = (navigator.mimeTypes && navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"]) ? navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"].enabledPlugin : 0;
if ( plugin ) {
var words = navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description.split(" ");
for (var i = 0; i < words.length; ++i)
{
if (isNaN(parseInt(words)))
continue;
var MM_PluginVersion = words;
}
var MM_FlashCanPlay = MM_PluginVersion >= MM_contentVersion;
}
else if (navigator.userAgent && navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")>=0
&& (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win") != -1)) {
document.write('<SCR' + 'IPT LANGUAGE=VBScript\> \n'); //FS hide this from IE4.5 Mac by splitting the tag
document.write('on error resume next \n');
document.write('MM_FlashCanPlay = ( IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." & MM_contentVersion)))\n');
document.write('</SCR' + 'IPT\> \n');
}
if ( MM_FlashCanPlay ) {
} else{
window.location.replace(http://www.wcsauto.com/noflash.html);
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>


Here's the actual code from the Links generated HTML file:

Code:


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript1.1>
<!--
var MM_contentVersion = 6;
var plugin = (navigator.mimeTypes && navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"]) ? navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"].enabledPlugin : 0;
if ( plugin ) {
var words = navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description.split(" ");
for (var i = 0; i < words.length; ++i)
{
if (isNaN(parseInt(words)))
continue;
var MM_PluginVersion = words;
}
var MM_FlashCanPlay = MM_PluginVersion >= MM_contentVersion;
}
else if (navigator.userAgent && navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")>=0
&& (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win") != -1)) {
document.write('<SCR' + 'IPT LANGUAGE=VBScript>
'); //FS hide this from IE4.5 Mac by splitting the tag
document.write('on error resume next
');
document.write('MM_FlashCanPlay = ( IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." & MM_contentVersion)))
');
document.write('</SCR' + 'IPT>
');
}
if ( MM_FlashCanPlay ) {
} else{
window.location.replace("http://www.wcsauto.com/noflash.html");
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>


Any advice on how to force the \n's to be printed would be much appreciated?

All the best
Shaun

You tried escaping them?

\\n

Unsure

Either that, or try using q| ... |; to hold/print the javascript (I'm assuming you know what q| |; does Tongue)
