 * I am adding some qty order buttons to my post (bsa.isgreat.org) and I have a 
   script that runs the min/max qty formula, so if your input is below 5 and over
   10 it will not let you go any further. It runs properly when I have it as html
   page, however when I put it in the post it does not run properly. There is a 
   line that is altered somehow at the execution of the post.
    original script text
   is:
 * function calcQty() {
    for (var i =1; i <=8; i++){ var temp=eval(‘document.Form1.
   qty’+i+’.value’); if (temp!=””&&!isNaN(temp)){ eval(‘qty’+i+’ = parseInt(temp)’);
 * the altered scipt text:
 * var temp=eval(‘document.Form1.qty’+i+’.value’);
    if (temp!=””&&!isNaN(temp)){
   eval(‘qty’+i+’ = parseInt(temp)’);
 * The #038 is added somehow to the script and it messes it up.
 * Any idea why it is happening and what the solution could be.
 * Thanks.

 * OK I tried all the options presented by the codex link but I was not sucessful
   at all. I even tested a scipt that works well in the post and put it as a js 
   file, but it did not work when put in a file. I am wondering if there is a step
   that I am missing or if the scipt as a file does not perform. Any help would 
   be appreciated, Thanks
 * Here is the scipt:
