java script not needed but still exists in category page

[newart]

I've disabled all titles in a category list of articles, so you do not want a sort by some-order...

I've seen in the source code of the page that some java stuffs is still present, an example is:

" <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function tableOrdering( order, dir, task )
... and so on"

What I can say is that the java script has been loaded even if it isn't needed!

Here is the problem, in the path ...\components\com_content\views\category\tmpl
in the file default_items.php you can see the following java code, in the first code lines with no conditional if clause, or whatever needed for avoiding its downloading when all sort features are disabled. It isn't a bug, there is no error or bad joomla behaviour... it's more or less a sort of not-clean-code... I don't know how to describe that. But please see what inside in that file:

Code: Select all

<?php // no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

	function tableOrdering( order, dir, task )
	{
		var form = document.adminForm;

		form.filter_order.value 	= order;
		form.filter_order_Dir.value	= dir;
		document.adminForm.submit( task );
	}
</script>
<form action="<?php echo $this->action; ?>" method="post" name="adminForm">

if you don't use any functions, well, you can simply delete those code lines
