Where to place Javascript call? Headinclude causes header to not load properly

[abouthere]

Hi all,

I'm struggling with a customising issue since I am still pretty wet behind the ears when it comes to vBulletin (I'm a long term PHPBB user who has converted).

I have World of Warcraft character link javascript that I'd like to use. It's designed to work on any site, you simply upload the relevant files and add the following code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="wowarmory_tooltip/js/wat.js.php" />

Once the code is in place, you add a BBCode and it just works.

Now, from what I've gathered, I'm assuming I put this in at the end of the headinclude file on a per template basis. I did this and the roll over worked fine for me; however there was a strange side effect.

- whilst on the index page, half the header doesn't load
- whilst on some pages the header does load

I can't work out why. Am I injecting the Javascript in the wrong place? Or is it more likely to be that the script is conflicting with vBulletin functionality?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Do you get any errors (like in the browser console)? How about the source code - is the header all in the page source and just not showing up in the browser?

Thank you for coming back to me, I will check and look at the areas you've mentioned and post some results.

Ok, I opened the page source and straight away saw that Firefox was marking the "/" at the end of my command in red.

Red isn't good, so I looked at how vBulletin scripts are details and used the same format, i.e.

<script type="text/javascript" src="wowarmory_tooltip/js/wat.js.php"></script>

At the moment, it all seems to work!
