CDATA shown on page when used in sidebar

[Harvie]

It displayed CDATA mess when i used indexmenu in sidebar. Had to change syntax/indexmenu.php from
$out = "<script type='text/javascript' charset='utf-8'>\n";
to
$out = "<script type='text/javascript' charset='utf-8' style='overflow: hidden; height: 0px;' >\n";

because something was automatically adding style='display:block;' one second after indexmenu was displayed. which (at least in chrome) resulted in showing CDATA as text on page. I am not sure what does this, but this workaround helps to fix that.

The offending code seems to be in lib/scripts/page.js#makeToggle. The line $child = $content.children() (line 132) will also return script tags if any.
The result is that they later will be have the display=block style set on them.

@magnebra do you think there's some less-hacky solution than the one i've used? Anyway... it would be nice to get some kind of official fix for this...

We had this problem on our wiki as well. It turns out we had a missing <div class="group"> underneath the <div class="content"> in the main.php of the template (default: lib/tpl/dokuwiki/main.php).

This changed in 2015, quite a while ago (dokuwiki/dokuwiki@82246f1#diff-de0e793668ff824f0b6b6a8882ca20e3) and we missed it when we updated back then.

Hope this helps others as well, and I think it's not a bug of this plugin.

I can confirm that @DevonFrosch observation is correct. Changing this in our template fixed this issue.

Great, so updating the template seems to fix this issue.
