Javascript in Smarty .tpl files?

[cian1991ferrari]

Hi everyone, I've written a few functions and checks to validate credit card form information. My problem is they're in PHP and in order for them to check the fields, I must let users submit the form which cause some problems and isn't too secure.

I'm proposing of writing an external JavaScript page with a validate function but I don't know how to use the JavaScript in templates. I'm thinking of putting the validate() function to occur when the submit is clicked such as:
and obviously must call the JS page in header section but is there other stuff I have to know such as special tags?

you can wrap javascript in .tpl files so it executes normally

as follows

{literal}

javascript here

{/literal}

do you know if it is possible to add JS or CSS through a TPL so it gets included in the header, I noticed the folling code but am not sure how it is executed.

{if isset($js_files)}
   {foreach from=$js_files item=js_uri}
   [removed][removed]
   {/foreach}
{/if}

The {literal} tags don't work...

Thanks a lot! The {literal} tags works for me. I'm using ps 1.6...
