    copied!<p>First off I am very new to php so bear with me. I have a javascript (.js) file from a wordpress template that reads the key from <code>var googledockey</code>. In order to change it I have to manually open the .js file and change that variable. What I would like to do is have the .js file grab the key from where it was saved on a page I made. Here is the code for the admin page that has the textfield for me to enter in a key.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if($_POST['gdocs2wp_hidden'] == 'Y') { //Form data sent $gdkey = $_POST['gdocs2wp_gdkey']; update_option('gdocs2wp_gdkey', $gdkey); ?&gt; &lt;div class="updated"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;?php _e('Options saved.' ); ?&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;?php } else { //Normal page display $gdkey = get_option('gdocs2wp_gdkey'); } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>The key saves and whenver I open the page they key shows up so I know this half is working. This is where I am stumped. Within my .js file which is in a subdirectory of the admin page, the <code>var googledockey</code> is where I have had to manually save the key which works everytime. I have tried <code>&lt;?php echo $gdkey; ?&gt;</code> and <code>get_option('gdocs2wp_gdkey');</code> to try and get the key but I havent had any luck. Can php work within a .js file? Does anyone have any insight to help me along? Thanks</p> <pre><code>var jqueryNoConflict = jQuery; //var googledockey = &lt;?php echo $gdkey; ?&gt; var googledockey = "INSERTmyKEYhere"; // begin main function jqueryNoConflict(document).ready(function(){ initializeTabletopObject(googledockey); }); </code></pre>
