why my following fiddle giving output without any print call? - javascript

I have one piece of code as:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-8514414755716493";
/* AdX_Washington_Examiner */
google_ad_slot = "9465392777";
google_ad_width = 320;
google_ad_height = 50;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
Why this code is giving output as "}//]]>" ??
I have not written any print call still it is giving output..
Here is my fiddle link http://jsfiddle.net/akshaynikte/ryLPf/6/#

Here are a few excerpts from the jsFiddle documentation page :
The JavaScript panel
Code entered in this panel will be placed in header’s script block,
that is between <script type="text/javascript"> and </script>.
The Add Resources section
CSS or JS (with appropriate extension) which should be loaded after
the framework. It’s a perfect place to put libraries which are
framework independent, like RaphaelJS
So, the correct way to work with the script in your question would be:
Add the following to the JavaScript panel.
<!--
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-8514414755716493";
/* AdX_Washington_Examiner */
google_ad_slot = "9465392777";
google_ad_width = 320;
google_ad_height = 50;
-->
Add http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js to the Add resources section on the left side of the page.
Here's a link to a properly configured sample: http://jsfiddle.net/edywd/.

It seems to be a bug on fiddler (or that it doesn't allow script tags on javascript panel) , if you change the script to anything else, you'll see that it happens the same.
You should place your script on HTML panel, that works fine according my tests.

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-8514414755716493";
/* AdX_Washington_Examiner */
google_ad_slot = "9465392777";
google_ad_width = 320;
google_ad_height = 50;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
you cant use script tags in js textarea of jsfiddle,it is js only, if you want use script tags , put them in the html textarea of jsfiddle

Google Adwords conversion Tracking event - single page

I am very unfamiliar with all the google anaylytics / adwords / conversion etc ..
I have a client site ( wordpress ) , which is actually a single page , where it has a contact form at the bottom ( built with contact form 7 if one must know ).
The contact form is linked with an anchor ( # ) only. it is not a separate page.
The code for implementing is :
<!-- Google Code for Conversion Page -->
<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
var google_conversion_id = 010101010101;
var google_conversion_language = "en";
var google_conversion_format = "2";
var google_conversion_color = "ffffff";
var google_conversion_label = "SomeRandomLabel";
var google_remarketing_only = false;
/* ]]> */
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js">
</script>
<noscript>
<div style="display:inline;">
<img height="1" width="1" style="border-style:none;" alt="" src="//www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion/971631980/?label=MCwlCLTErgoQ7NqnzwM&guid=ON&script=0"/>
</div>
</noscript>
After reading a lot of questions here ( Like this ) , and also on the web, I have found some codes and hacked them into this :
<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
function Tracking_conversion_custom(){
var img = document.createElement("img");
var goalId = 010101010101;
var randomNum = new Date().getMilliseconds();
var value = 0;
var label = "SomeRandomLabel";
var url = encodeURI(location.href);
var trackUrl = "http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion/"+goalId+"/?random="+randomNum+"&value="+value+"&label="+label+"&guid=ON&script=0&url="+url;
img.src = trackUrl;
document.body.appendChild(img);
}
/* ]]> */
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js">
</script>
My Questions are :
1 - The Tracking_conversion_custom() is invoked upon sending the form, but since I have a single page , will var url = encodeURI(location.href); work as expected as far as the google adwords tracking concern ? ( remember - it is an anchor only )
2 - In all the codes I have seen, the some vars are missing ( like var google_remarketing_only = false;, or google_conversion_format) - are they neglectable ? If not - how to add them ?
( Similar question here :Adding Google Conversion code to WordPress Contact Form 7 )
The encoded URL will be fine. Note that the label and goalID values will need to be the correct values from AdWords - label is now optional though so if one isn't provided in AdWords you'll need to remove it from this script (dont just pass garbage as that may lead to bad tracking)
However, this said if I were you rather than re-inventing the wheel and rolling my own code, I would just use the official Google tag that was designed specifically for this sort of usage:
https://developers.google.com/adwords-remarketing-tag/asynchronous/
That page explains what you need to do - it is coming from a remarketing perspective, but the conversion tag and the remarketing tag are basically the same thing (that is what the "google_remarketing_only" true/false is about - you'll want it to be "false" as this is conversion tracking).
So you'll want something like this, then just call google_trackConversion() whenever the form gets submitted - no messing about with encoding etc this way:
<!-- Put this script in your <head> -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion_async.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<!-- the rest of your web page as usual etc -->
<!-- Call this function when the form submits -->
<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
window.google_trackConversion({
google_conversion_id: 123456789,
google_conversion_label: abcdefghijkl, // if provided, remove this line if not provided
google_conversion_value: 0, // or the dollar value of this conversion, e.g. 100 etc.
google_remarketing_only: false
});
//]]>
Hope that helps.

Error with Google Adsense on Firefox console

I have been trying to add this to my page and I am getting this error in Firefox under the JS errors section.
An unsupported character encoding was declared for the HTML document using a meta tag. The declaration was ignored.
My code is below
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-12345678987654321";
/* OAS home */
google_ad_slot = "123456789";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 240;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
The error is related to the section of your document, you're using a bad character encoding I guess, ( see http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_meta_charset.asp )
Consider adding head section code for further help.

Calling function to execute javascript code

I would like to place a javascript (adsense) code inside the post (not above or after the post). It will be a HTML page.
Is there any way i can put my adsense code in external Js file and i will use one function to display it.
adsense code looks something like
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_host = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = 336;
google_ad_height = 280;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
So if i call a function CallMe() which will start showing ad wherever i have used the function. In future if i would like to replace ad code with another code then i dont want to go to each post and replace it. I will just replace the adcode from js file.
I am a newbie and have just started learning JavaScript so i am really not aware if it can be done or not.
Any suggestion ?
Create file called AdSense.js with the following code:
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_host = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = 336;
google_ad_height = 280;
function ApplyAdSense() {
var oScript = document.createElement("script");
oScript.type = "text/javascript";
oScript.src = "http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js";
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(oScript);
}
Now whenever you want adsense in your code, first include the file:
<script type="text/javascript" src="AdSense.js"></script>
Then call the function:
<script type="text/javascript">
ApplyAdSense();
</script>
This way, until you call the function nothing happens.. and you can also comment the code inside the function to disable adsense throughout all your site.
Wherever you want the ad to show up, place this code (assuming you have a function called CallMe).
<some html>
<script type="text/javascript">CallMe();</script>
</some html>
If your concern is about the page loading time, Adsense released the asynchronous version of their Adsense code. Please see https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/3221666?hl=en

How to Minify Google AdSense JS?

Whenever I minify the AdSense script I got from Google, it stops working. Any ideas why?
Original Code:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "xxx";
/* Ad 1 */
google_ad_slot = "2668798369";
google_ad_width = 160;
google_ad_height = 600;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
Minified Code:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--google_ad_client = "xxx";/* Ad 1 */google_ad_slot = "2338787596";google_ad_width = 200;google_ad_height = 200;//--></script><script type="text/javascript"src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script>
The minification is being done by Smarty's {strip} tags.
The problem is the HTML comment tags at the start and end of the first script tag. You don't need them, they're just there to work around Netscape 1.0
Try replacing your minified script with this
<script type="text/javascript">google_ad_client="xxx";google_ad_slot="2668798369";google_ad_width=160;google_ad_height=600;</script><script type="text/javascript"src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
i think you left out this part:
//-->
Try to remove the <!--
Hope it helps
It'll be the <!-- - this can mean 'treat this line as a comment'. It's an old compatibility hack for browers that didn't support JavaScript.
Either remove it or add a linebreak afterwards, i.e.
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client="xxx"; ...
though I can't see what minifying here is gaining you - there's nothing that can be renamed or compressed.
Look out for this:
<!-- and -->

What is this google adsense code doing exactly?

Hey, I am trying to further my knowledge of javascript and was wondering if anyone could explain to me what exactly is happening in the script below:
<– Begin Google Adsense code –>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
google_ad_client = “ad-client-code-goes-here”;
google_ad_slot = “ad-slot-code-goes-here”;
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
</script>
<script type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js”>
</script>
<– End Google Adsense code –>
Most importantly, why are there 4 'google_ ad_ ...' at the beginning and what is the purpose of them?
A line by line explanation would be awesome :)
Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it.
The google_ad... are variables (associate this code to your account, set width/height of ad, etc). They're being set for the script (show_ads.js) that will later be loaded.
For a full rundown of the variables, see CyberNAC Javascript Variables used in Adsense.
