WordPress doesn’t actually allow you to insert any code into post, without some external plugin’s help. Sure, you can put some html and css in there but even that i’ve found has somewhat unsatisfactory results.
Anyway, according to the WP site, to insert javascript you basically have 3 options:
- For jscript code appearing on all pages: Insert the code into your header.php file – then call up the code from within your post.
- For jscript code appearing on few pages: Insert all the code into a file called example.js – then combine both the call to the script file with the call to the Javascript function itself.
- For multiple scripts: Insert all functions into a file called allthecode.js – then follow either method 1 or 2.
I have already experimented with this a little..
I found that using a php include statement is a simpler option though
( example: <?php include ('allthecode.js'); ?> ).

exactly, I tried to add js codes and causing problem with my layout and sidebar widget all over the place

there may very well be css code inside the js that is causing problems and messing up your design..
try and “view source” in your browser and see if you can tell what code was added by the js script..

hye admin..may i ask u..how to post javascript code like u did above with the green font?
Posted 01 Mar 2008 at 2:12 pm ¶please reply back to my email :) i already try using
but it wont work...it will execute the javascript code..hi apiz,
if you just want to display code like i have in green above – then you could install a plugin called: Code Snippet.
it will let you put different kinds of code in a wordpress post – but will display it as text – and will not execute it.
