[Resolved] Odd behaviour from chunk

I have defined a chunk {{Amazon Optimising}} like this

<script type="text/javascript">
  amazon_ad_tag = "affiliateid";
  amazon_ad_width = "728";
  amazon_ad_height = "90";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/s/ads.js"></script>

When the page renders I see nothing. View source shows me

<script type="text/javascript">
  amazon_ad_tag = "affiliateid";
  amazon_ad_width = "728";
  amazon_ad_height = "90";
</script>
<!-- pt type="text/javascript" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/s/ads.js"></scri-->

Where the last line has been turned into a comment.

Any ideas why?

That is really strange. While I have no answer to your question, I will say that I use a snippet for such things, using the $modx->regClientStartupScript() functions.

    $src1 = '
<script type="text/javascript">
  amazon_ad_tag = "affiliateid";
  amazon_ad_width = "728";
  amazon_ad_height = "90";
</script>
    ';
    $src2 = '<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/s/ads.js"></script>';
    $modx->regClientStartupScript($src1);
    $modx->regClientStartupScript($src2);

Could it be a your host server that’s preventing <script> tags with the src attribute?

Thanks Susan, Raymond.

You put me on the right track - not the host server but my firewall interfering in non-firewall matters (ad filtering). Grrrr!
