 +<tip c n>**Update for v6:** The software now uses SMARTY 3, which handles this a little differently. In short, SMARTY now ignores any { characters that are immediately followed by whitespace. allowing JavaScript to parse them correctly. The practical upshot of that is that **most** scripts will now work without the below modifications. If not, or if you're not sure, it's always safe to make these changes anyway.</tip>
  
 On occasion, it may be appropriate to add a block of JavaScript code to one of your template files. One of the most common uses of this is when adding Google Analytics to a site. There is one important caveat to be aware of: both JavaScript and SMARTY have different interpretations of the left-curly-brace character **'{'** -- if you try to insert JavaScript code containing {curly braces} into a SMARTY template file, SMARTY will attempt to interpret the braces as its own tags, which will usually break the JavaScript code. On occasion, it may be appropriate to add a block of JavaScript code to one of your template files.
