Javascript stopping page loading

[toolman]

Hi,

 

When I add the following javascript, my page stops loading. I have tried adding it to various places in my page, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

 

 

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() 
{
    $('#parallax .parallax-layer')
    .parallax({
        mouseport: $('#parallax')
    });
});
</script> 

 

Any ideas?

What do firebug or developer tools have to say?

[toolman]

Hi,

I can't seem to get anything from firebug as the page just loads blank when I use that code

This is in a PHP file?

Did you END the ?> php tag??

Do you have error reporting on and set to E_ALL?

[toolman]

Its is a .tpl file, but it just seems to be that part of the code that is stopping the page working. Its a jQuery parallax script.

Check the error log on the server, should tell you why this is happening.

I suspect jesirose is right on the money, btw.

If it's a .tpl you likely need to wrap that section in {literal} tags or whatever is the equivalent for your template engine.

Many thanks! - it was the {literal} tag that fixed it.

This is why you need to ask clear questions. In your original post you said it was PHP code, which it's not, it's HTML/Javascript, and it's on a .tpl!

If you had said from the beginning it was on a tpl (I assume it's Smarty, but I don't know if any other engines use .tpl) this thread would be much shorter.
