I have a couple of different places in my page where I render this to set a variable like this
<script>
videoContent[{{ ordernumber }}]='video={{ c.data[0] }}&height={{ c.data[1] }}&width={{ c.data[2] }}&codec={{ c.data[3] }}&fullscreen={{ data5 }}';
</script>
My problem is that I refresh the whole body of the page with ajax, and when I do this piece of code is not executed again. I can't really set an id to the script block since many of these blocks will be looped out and I wouldn't know which one to call eval() on.
Can I somehow append this declaration to a function or object like "myDeclarationObject" and then just call eval() on that object together with the page refresh?
I know I could study up on the nuts and bolts of javascript but I am short on time, there are so many things you need to learn if you develop an app singlehandedly =)
Some more sample code...

As you may notice, each div with id slide1, slide2 etc. are looped out according to a certain template. all slides except slide2 are of a template type that don't have this script block I am talking about, however slide2 does, and many more may have it.
Is there a good way of putting this data in, instead of rendering a scriptblock like I do here?
At the time I initialize the array videoContent and declare it with null values the page is not yet aware that it will populate number2 of the array with this value.
Here is the slideshow and ajaxUpdate scripts:
/* The actual slideshow function (calling itself for each new slide) */
function slideshow(slide) {
if(pauseTimes[slide]==null) {
console.log('no slide defined, so update the whole thing');
ajaxUpdate();
}
else if (pauseTimes[slide]==0) {
console.log('pauseTime is zero so move to next slide');
slideshow(slide+1);
}
else if (pauseTimes[slide]>0) {
/* if there is another slide after the one currently showing... */
skip=0; //wheather to skip this slide
//check for video stuff
if(videoContent[slide] != null) {
if (parent.xPos) {
myXpos = Math.round(parent.xPos)
}
else {
myXpos = 0;
}
if (parent.yPos) {
myYpos = Math.round(parent.yPos)
}
else {
myYpos = 0;
}
//These position variables are set by a script in screen_base.html.twig
positionString = '&x=' + myXpos + '&y=' + myYpos;
//the videoContent[slide] is populated from the template for the video slide
videoCallstring = 'http://127.0.0.1/index.php?' + videoContent[slide] + positionString;
//call by ajax:
window.skip=1;
jQuery.ajax({
url: videoCallstring,
success: function(result) {
window.skip=1;
/*
if(result.isOk == false) {
alert(result.message);
}
else {
alert("success =)");
}
* */
},
async: false
});
}
else {
//do nothing
}
if (skip == 1) {
slideshow(slide+1);
}
else {
$('#slide'+slide).
fadeIn(1500,function(){}).
delay(pauseTimes[slide]).
fadeOut(1500,function(){slideshow(slide+1);});
}
}
}
/* The update routine at the end of each slideshow */
function ajaxUpdate() {
//Load current uri again asynchroneously
var jqxhr = $.get(currentUri)
.success(function(data) {
newContent = data;
//make sure we got the end token (</body>) so that our transmission wasn't interrupted in the middle of the request
endtoken_test = newContent.search('</body>');
//strip of everything before starttoken (<body>)
newContent = newContent.substring(newContent.indexOf('<body id="slideshow_body">') +26 );
//strip of everything after endtoken (</body>)
newContent = newContent.slice(0, newContent.lastIndexOf("</body>"));
if (endtoken_test != -1) {
//We found the endtoken which means the whole page was returned
//replace the innerHTML of body with the new stuff
document.getElementById('slideshow_body').innerHTML=newContent;
//Ta bort skylten om tillfälligt avbrott (om den visades)
document.getElementById('avbrott').style.display = 'none';
//update the pausetimes
ie_compatible_eval(document.getElementById('pauseTimesScript').innerHTML)
//update the videoContents
/* Loop out the scriptblocks in a try/catch way, loop until max number in pauseTimes is reached */
//run the slideshow anew
slideshow(1);
}
else {
/* if no content (or at least not all of it) could not be downloaded from server */
document.getElementById('avbrott').style.display = 'block';
slideshow(1);
}
})
.error(function() {
newContent = 'blank';
/* if no content (or at least not all of it) could not be downloaded from server */
document.getElementById('avbrott').style.display = 'block';
slideshow(1);
});
}
/* eval() som även funkar i explorer, används för att uppdatera paustiderna */
function ie_compatible_eval(code) {
var dj_global = this; // global scope reference
if (window.execScript) {
window.execScript(code); // eval in global scope for IE
return null; // execScript doesn’t return anything
}
return dj_global.eval ? dj_global.eval(code) : eval(code); //eval för andra browsers
}
