Title: invisible javascript? Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # invisible javascript? * [spitstatic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spitstatic/) * (@spitstatic) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invisible-javascript/) * I know that javascript can be used in a post or page if you call it externally. But I’m still having a problem. * I made a page here: [http://spitstatic.net/exchanges/](http://spitstatic.net/exchanges/) * I’m calling the following code: `` * When I view the resulting page, it does not show up. But upon viewing the source code, it’s there. Also, if I go to edit the page, at the bottom of the page it appears with no problem (where you see a preview of the post or page). So I don’t understand what is keeping the result from appearing on the published page. * I don’t have anything in my CSS that would hide it. * Would anyone be willing to tell me what I’m doing wrong, or what I can do to fix this?

I can see it. * [Orin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/orin/) * (@orin) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invisible-javascript/#post-202009) * If you’re calling an external javascript, it’s best to place it inside the element. But remember all you’re doing is telling the browser to _go get it_. The code has to be executed as a behavior, meaning you’ll be calling an event somewhere. * Say you want to execute the whole code when a page loads. You’d type For a list of common event handlers, [look here](http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_eventattributes.asp). I’m not quite sure what your script does, but there is also a way to execute only one function in any code you have imported. * [Lorelle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lorelle/) * (@lorelle) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invisible-javascript/#post-202029) * I’ve tested out using javascript within a post and the answer is here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/33137](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/33137) Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The topic ‘invisible javascript?’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [javascript](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/javascript/) * [js](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/js/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 3 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [Lorelle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lorelle/) * Last activity: [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invisible-javascript/#post-202029) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
