Any confluence limitations with JavaScript code I should be aware of?

Lachlan Moore

I have been trying to add a google chart into a confluence page and it has given me some trouble, where it will not work with other JavaScript code, or breaks other JavaScript code. Sometimes it doesn’t show the chart it only shows the actual JavaScript code within the div.
Thanks.

Hi Lachlan,

We do have this article below regarding use of Javascript in Confluence:

• How to use JavaScript in Confluence

A few things to keep in mind:

Confluence provides the ability to include JavaScript codes either inside the Custom HTML or HTML macro. Applying the JavaScript inside the Custom HTML will enforce the script to be loaded in site-wide. However, applying the JavaScript inside the HTML macro will only trigger the script in a specific page in which the macro is placed

I would recommend reviewing the entirety of that article, and if you have any specific examples you'd like to share with us, please do, and we can help you out.

Regards,

Shannon
