Shortcode & Javascript

Hello, I have a shortcode which should output a javascript:

function my_shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) {    
        extract( shortcode_atts( array(
        ), $atts) );
$output = '';
$output .= '// javascript with php variables goes gere';
return $output;
}
add_shortcode('my_shortcode', 'index_my_shortcode');

As u can see, my shortcode outputs a javascript with php variables, but I am interesting is there a way to output this javascript under the footer? I know there is a way to serialise script but at current moment I am interesting to place javascript under the footer. As u know there is a wp_footer function http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_footer But it’s possible to use it to place my javascript with shortcode’s php variables? Hope to hear a suggestions from someone, thanks.

I would manage this thing in another way. Don’t write javascript with the shortcode, instead write the data you need in the tag attributes or as hidden tags. Later, the javascript that starts in the footer will use that content to do stuff needed.
For simple values use the html tag attribute “data-settingname”....

cough http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_localize_script

then use a meta-box/options panel to control it

what exactly are you trying to do? post the full code/explain it a bit

Anyway, this method works with scripts that start on window ready event too… or with footer, etc.

Thanks for your reply, seems interesting solution, if I have several div id=”cool-viewer-’. $id .’” ? U know, div id=”cool-viewer-1”, div id=”cool-viewer-2”, div id=”cool-viewer-3”, etc. Should I use jquery .each function?

sure. You don’t even need unique id’s… you can use a class instead and use the .each on that class…
