I am generating this code from the Sharethis website- but getting an error when I try to install it

<script type="text/javascript">var switchTo5x=true;</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">stLight.options({publisher: "5665dd4a-015b-43d0-9b22-7439e1f35e76", doNotHash: false, doNotCopy: false, hashAddressBar: false});</script>

Can anyone tell me how to format it for jamrrom?

Thank you

( my reason for generating this code is for chasing down some bugs on my site- I have disabled the ShareThis module on my site and want to try adding the code manually from the Sharethis site and see if it fixes my bug)

The problem is that smarty uses this format {something} so you need to put a space between { and the first letter.

try:
<script type="text/javascript">var switchTo5x=true;</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">stLight.options({ publisher: "5665dd4a-015b-43d0-9b22-7439e1f35e76", doNotHash: false, doNotCopy: false, hashAddressBar: false });</script>

Wow that's a good little tip - I will try and remember that!

Yeah its going to be the main reason that javascript pasted in is going to fail. Super easy to fix up if you know why its happening. :)

Most pieces of javascript that you get from around the place make the (wrong) assumption that you will be pasting it into HTML pages.
