[Resolved] GetSiteControl JavaScript

[Cheryl]

Hi Guys

Can anyone advise on best practice for launching a javascript via a button or menu link, here’s the snippet from GetSite Control Example:

<script>
function showWidget(){
  _gscq.push(['show', 82297]);
}
</script>

Regards

HiTom,

For example, here’s your button:

<a class="button launch-widget" href="#">My button</a>

Here’s your javascript:

<script>
jQuery( '.launch-widget' ).on( 'click', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    _gscq.push(['show', 82297]);
} );
</script>

Hi Cheryl,

Ksenia from GetSiteControl e-mailed me and provided this link that should solve your problem:

Maybe give them a shout if you have further questions on this.
