Probably the easiest way is to use the literal tag, i.e.

{literal}
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='javascript'>
var webServer = {/literal}{$node.id}{literal};
document.write(var);
</script>
{/literal}

We are always interested in hearing from experienced eZ PHP programmers and eZ template designers interested in contract work.

i write a file scripts.js like following:

var = {$node.name};
document.write(var);

and upload it under corresponding folder
in template file:
<script src={"scripts.js"|ezdesign} type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
</script>

this will print out nothing, if i change var="test", and it works fine.
how can i print $node.name out in jaascript ?

thanks!

You are assigning the value to one variable (webServer), and then printing something other (var). That will not work. This works for me:

<script type="text/javascript">
var nodeid = "{$node.node_id}";

document.write("Node id: "+nodeid)
</script>

If you don't know what attributes are available, attribute(show) is a lifesaver.

Try this.

{$node|attribute(show)}

Here is some documentation on using javascript in eZ publish:
