Reading the value from author node and displaying on preview/publisher mode

code snippet:

var a = ${pageProperties['pagecontent/offertitle/title']}

jQuery("#title").text(a);

Hi,

The variable value you read in sightly can be set in a hidden html input field on the page and the same field can then be accessed in jquery.

Hi,

You can directly used the variable in script tag in sightly using sightly context based on your requirement. Or you can also try using JS API as mentioned by smacdonald2008

<script>

var variable = '${properties.variablename @ context="scriptString"}'; // This can be used in javascript included after it as it is available as global variable

</script>

Hope this helps !
