I have a domain name and a host. I would like to use wordpress for the site. I want to use Amazon context links and this is the script (ID changed to protect the innocent) below.

The function of the javascript is as follows. It identifies words in the text that correspond to items that Amazon sells. When the reader hovers over the text, the link to the product shows itself in a little box.

I see that wordpress pages are written in php and I have no idea whether it is possible to insert this javascript and make it work, or, if it is possible, which pages to insert the script into.

I am a beginner-beginner.

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
amzn_cl_tag="exampleID";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cls.assoc-amazon.co.uk/gb/s/cls.js"></script>


thanks

If your trying to output javascript in PHP you would just echo it, I don't really get what your asking, But to have the php display javascript you would use some output function like echo.

Thanks for the reply. I am sorry my original question is unclear. I will try to explain more clearly.

The function of the javascript is to somehow identify words used in the text as relevant to products that amazon sell.

If you look the Blogger blog at http://digitaladvice.blogspot.com/ you will see that on the fourth line of the first paragraph, the word 'SLR' is in blue. If you hover your curser over the word, a little amazon box opens.

I put that script into the blog html. It was easy because the page was written in html.

I also have blogs hosted on commercial servers and these blogs are built using wordpress. Wordpress is written in php, and I want to inset the javascript into the relevant pages so that the javascript does the same thing that it does in the Blogger blog.

If it will work with 'echo', how do I do it?

Adding Javascript in a PHP page using echo is done like this

<?
echo "<script language=\"Javascript\">\n";
echo "alert("You just used echo to add Javascript");\n";
echo "</script>";
?> 

inside the <script> tags, you would, of course, have your Javascript code not my simple alert message

Hope this helps

Happy Coding!

Dear PC
Thanks, it helps but doesn't quite get me there. Could you show me by copying the stuff I put in my original post, into the code you used, so I can see exactly where it goes?

thanks
David
