JS Problem in Express Web?

TheUnseen · 27 Feb 2011

When I'm editing html pages that have javascript in them, obviously the js are not activated (previewed) but instead just there. So when I'm in design mode I see this:

(see attached - expanded images)

The slider in real view mode shows as a proper js slider with 4 images like this:

See attached - proper view

How do I get expression web (v4) to correctly display the js in design mode?

I have a hard time editing the html content whle the js content is overlaying the other content such as text, images, etc.

Same thing happens with the js drop down menu I'm using, etc.

Although I have no personal experience of Express Web, I found the following which might be useful:
EW Resource: Expression V4 Add-Ins

'Attach-JS' Add-In

Unlike Visual Studio, EW has no simple means of attaching a Javascript file to a page in the form
<script type="text/javascript" src='script.js"></script>
To attach a file in this way you have to enter the tag and details by hand.

This Add-In adds a new item to the 'Insert' menu which allows you to select a javascript file, creates the tag for you and then adds it into the <head> block.
If the selected file is outside the current web, it copies the file to the web once it's been selected.
