onmouseover in JavaScript not working

[Josh]

I'm new at Django and am experimenting with JavaScript in templates. 

I've put JavaScript from Google Charts in a block and it is displaying the chart properly. The onmouseover should display the details of elements in the chart, but that isn't working in Django. In a plain html-page it is displayed, so I guess it is being blocked by Django and I should enable this.

I've tried the {% autoescape on/off %} tag, but that doesn't solve it. How can I activate this? Basically I want no restrictions on these blocks with JavaScript.

Django doesn't "block" javascript, and is totally agnostic about
javascript FWIW.

Escaping considerations only apply to dynamic content (=> content
inserted by the template system using either a {{ var }} or a {% tag
%}). See the "safe" (IIRC) filter to disable escaping on dynamic
content.

There's nothing to "activate".

Basically, unless you inserted your js code (or any other markup)
using a {{ var }} or {% tag %}, there is NO "restrictions on these
blocks with javascript".

Did you at least inspected the *rendered* template to see how what
your HTML and js looks like ?

Thanks for pointing these things out about js. At least I know now that it isn't Django-related.

I checked the source and the relevant html and js is the same. I diffed the rendered js and there were no differences. Real strange though. I'll skip this thing and continue with some other js to see if this also gives problems.
