Reading html attributes with custom javascript variable

[mikkop]

Hi,

I try to use custom javascript for reading html attributes of the clicked element:

function () { 
var elementRole = {{ClickElement}}.getAttribute("role");
return elementRole;}

This causes a

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '{'

How do I fix this?

Hi,

See

Use Variables in Custom JavaScript Variable

I want to use other variable information in the custom JavaScript Variable. I use the syntax like {{Variable Name}}, but this error is thrown. SyntaxError: expected property name, got '{' In the Container i see the plain variable markup: Templates['CustomJsFunctionVariable32002477'] = (function () { return function (parameters, TagManager) { this.get = function() { var pt_pagetype = "default"; var pageURL = {{Page URL}}; How can i access the variable in an other variable. Greetings

and

Thanks, this confirms what I suspected.

I thought using html attributes would simplify tracking but it seems just to complicate things
