We are on API version 2.24.0

Is this the latest API version?

Any thoughts?

It seems Amazon is having issues with the “send to kindle” function. It has stopped working on my website as well. I’ve emailed Amazon, and have not received any reply. But there are a couple threads on Amazon’s Kindle forums that are also reporting the same issues, and Amazon seems to be working on it:

Since my script just calls a function and nothing more, it might work ok without the tags. There’s not much that WP could strip.

Great! Is there any kind of workaround in the meantime? For example, it seems that removing the “<!–” and “//–>” makes it work again. Is it ok to just call the function directly without these tags?

I used javascript in the method noted because that was the method documented in the codex. If there is a way to do the same thing with jQuery from within a post/page, then yes, I could probably use that, but I wouldn’t know how to convert my function to jQuery, or how to call it from within a post/page.

Does that plugin allow you to call javascript from a certain place in the post/page? It looks like it just loads javascript generally for a post/page.

I’m not sure I understand the question. I haven’t changed the way the JS is embedded. It follows the format:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/updatepage.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
updatepage();
//--></script>

Here is the javascript that should be running in the real code:
https://mormoninterpreter.com/test.html

But the function doesn’t fire inside a WP post/page.

The “real code” I was using is much more complex, with obfuscated javascript.

That is why I simplified it to the test page. The test() function doesn’t fire.

If I don’t put the javascript inside a function, it fires. When it is inside a function, the function is not called.

Sure. Here’s a page with the problem.
https://www.mormoninterpreter.com/test/

Simple page that calls one function test() from test.js. test() never gets called, which should invoke a window alert. See the js here.

So are you experiencing the same problem?

Ok, I take that back. It seems that I cannot call a function in an external javascript file (i.e. updatepage.js). The function does not run when called in the post.

Never mind. It seems to be a different issue. I’ve tried other embedded post javascript, and it works ok, so something seems to be wrong with my javascript.
