How to add javaScript into a tpl file?

[Mav]

I want to add the following code into a .tpl file,

[literal]
[removed]
function date_check()
{
var date_from = New Date(document.getElementById(starting_date).value);
var date_to = New Date(document.getElementById(ending_date).value);
if (checkOut <= CheckIn ){ alert("Your Dates are out of range!"); }
};
[removed]
[/literal]

But every time when I put in th code into a .tpl file, it always failed to show up the modules starting from this .tpl file.

Can some experts help me out on this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Are you using [literal] or {literal}? You should be using the latter. Whenever you encounter a blank page, you can edit config/config.inc.php and temporarily change 'display_errors' from 'off' to 'on' to get an error message to help you figure out the problem.

Thanks. I already made it by copying a format header and footer for my code.

Yes, my typo should be {literal} ... {/literal}.

But the javascript header and footer code is a little bit longer.
