 * Hi
 * I’m trying to get a javascript to work… the script needs to be in the body.
 * This scripts is an aweber personalization script… when somebody fills out the
   subscription form the thank you page displays their name…
 * I’ve put this script in the header under the body tag… right about the form…at
   the end of the form… I put in the footer above the body tag…
 * It’s won’t work (script works on non-wordpress sites)
 * I read this
 * In the spot where you wish to use the Javascript, set the call for the Javascript.
   For example, you are using a Javascript that sets a link for users to “email 
   this page” to a friend and you want it to be under the post title. It might look
   like this:
 * <h3 class=”storytitle”>
    ” rel=”bookmark”> <?php the_title(); ?></h3> <div class
   =”emailpage”> <script type=”text/javascript”> <!– emailpage(); //–></script> 
   </div>
 * I’m not quite sure what they mean… I took the script and saved it as a aweber.
   js uploaded to the template directory and the main wordpress directory…
 * I then changed the above to
    <script type=”text/javascript”> <!– aweber(); //–
   ></script> and still nothing…
 * What the correct way to create, uploaded the script so wordpress will call it…
   I’m not a programmer.
 * Thanks
