   I've written a script with AJAX that calls on a php file to fetch content from a database and present it inside a div when a form button is pressed. The script is entirely javascript and HTML.

   I have tested the script, and it works perfectly well in its own right.

   I would like to create a wordpress page that runs this script.

   I have pasted the ajax script into the page editor (using the HTML view) and saved the draft. When I preview the page, the script does not fetch the data and/or change the content of the div when the button is pressed.

   I don't understand why this should be, and so I'm posting to ask if anybody here can explain why and possibly offer a solution.

   Many thanks.

   If you are using jQuery for ajax, then you should also include jQuery javascript files.

   Thank you for that.

   I'm actually using plain javascript, so no Jquery needed.

   I've a new problem now though.

   I've got it working (the problem was that the editor saved a paragraph tag in the code)... and that's great. However, when I publish the page it stops working. It seems that the paths to the files change somehow when it's published - does anyone know how?
