Title: Conditional statement for a template file Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Conditional statement for a template file * [miocene22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miocene22/) * (@miocene22) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-statement-for-a-template-file/) * OK so I’m using a template file to have a page on my site that has an image scroller. This requires an external .js file for the code and an “onload” javascript statement to be added to the body tag. * 2 issues to overcome… I have enqued the external .js file the proper way from within functions.php. It would be more ideal to only enqueue it when this template file is used. * Also, I only want the “onload=…” to appear when the template file is used. My body tag is inside header.php which is called using get_header() from the template file. How can I ensure this? * One thing I tried was to set a variable that is the “onload=..” like so: * ``` ``` * And then in header.php: ` >` * But this doesn’t seem to work as it seems the variable $ScrollerFunc is not passed to/available to header.php. * Any ideas?
