 * I am trying to put javascript code into my wordpress page. i have googled this
   subject and dont seem to find the same problem.
 * i have turned off the visual editor.
 * i put this code into the post (this is not the actual code i want to use, but
   just want to start simple).
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">
       <!--
       theInterval();
       //--></script>
       ```
   
 * it then seems to format the code to look like this:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">
       <!--
       theInterval();
       //--></script>
       ```
   
 * im guessing the reason it is not working is because of the p / br tags that are
   getting thrown in there. if anyone has any experience with this help would be
   much apreciated
 * edit: i realized i didn’t mention, i include the js file in my header.php using
   this line of code
    ` <script src="slider/js/main.js" type="text/javascript"></
   script>

 * Don’t put in the line breaks. i.e. put all the code on one line, and the tags
   won’t break it:
 * `<script type="text/javascript">theInterval();</script>`

 * makes the code look really messy to have it all on one line, but it works great,
   thanks for the help doodlebee
