php - Uncaught syntax error: Unexpected token in Wordpress button function -

this 1 of functions made in wordpress site button open shortcode pop prompt. saw <p> tags added wordpress inside function, maybe error in.

<input id="textarea" name="textarea" type="text" value="" placeholder="place here">  <script> function pol() { var x;  var name=prompt("name","name");  if (name!=null)   {   x = document.getelementbyid("textarea").value;    x = "[pol]" + name + "[/pol]";   document.getelementbyid("textarea").value=x;   } } </script>  <input type="button" value="pol" onclick="pol()"> 

errors:

uncaught syntax error: unexpected token <  uncaught referenceerror: pol not defined 

in wordpress page, on chrome, inspect element shows function this:

    <input id="textarea" name="textarea" type="text" value="" placeholder="place here"></p>     <p><script>     function pol()     {     var x;</p>     uncaught syntaxerror: unexpected token <     <p>var name=prompt("name","name");</p>     <p>if (name!=null)       {       x = document.getelementbyid("textarea").value;        x = "[pol]" + name + "[/pol]";       document.getelementbyid("textarea").value=x;       }     }     </script></p>     <p><input type="button" value="pol" onclick="pol()"></p>     uncaught referenceerror: pol not defined (repeated 2 times) 

i discovered theme source of errors. somewhere conflict...

solution:

in every empty line, wordpress theme coded ad <p> tags, , made errors, fixed function , working:

<script> function pol() { var x; var name=prompt("name","name"); if (name!=null)   {   x = document.getelementbyid("textarea").value;    x = "[pol]" + name + "[/pol]";   document.getelementbyid("textarea").value=x;   } } </script> <input type="button" value="pol" onclick="pol()"> 

you can add following code in php page remove wordpress pre-coded

tags every new or empty line. remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');
