Embedded JS

[Patresko]

Hello,

If I use embedded javascript syntax in the routine Im getting syntax highlighting error for <

&js< if (logoutTime === time) { location.reload(); } else if (time - logoutTime &lt; 10) { document.querySelector('[id*="textAfterBadge2"]').style.color = "red"; } else { document.querySelector('[id*="textAfterBadge2"]').style.color = "black"; };>

Maybe Im doing something wrong but within embedded javascript Im not able to use > or < so I replaced it with %lt or %gt

@Patresko This isn't a bug, it's a consequence of a bad design choice when defining the Embedded JS syntax. You can't use the unclosed > in the code because that's the character that terminates the embedding. If you need to use > in the code, use Marker Syntax. That link is for Embedded SQL but the same rules apply for JS. For example, you code can be changed to:

&js@@<
if (logoutTime === time) {
			location.reload();
		} else if (time - logoutTime < 10) {
			document.querySelector('[id*="textAfterBadge2"]').style.color = "red";
		} else {
			document.querySelector('[id*="textAfterBadge2"]').style.color = "black";
		};>@@

and it will syntax color, compile and run correctly. You can't use < escaping.
