Hello,

I created my custom card type with little javascript code inside.

Firstly I created without javascript then I edited javascript after studied some cards.

The javascript code is not applied on some notes when I review them.

I read in the Anki’s documentation (Javascript section) that the cards have some parts re-generated on review.  
So I think my javascript code is not applied when I review already studied cards.

Anyone can help me about that ?  
Can we force to regenerate all cards on review ?

Best regards.

**Anki version :**  
Version ⁨2.1.66 (70506aeb)⁩  
Python 3.9.15 Qt 6.5.2 PyQt 6.5.2

**Platform :** Windows 11

**javascript code :**

```auto
const pronunciationEl = document.getElementById('pronunciation');
const pronunContent = pronunciationEl.innerText.trim();
if (pronunContent.length == 0) {
	pronunciationEl.style.display = 'none';
}

```

Try wrapping the code in a function:

```javascript
(() => {
	const pronunciationEl = document.getElementById('pronunciation');
	const pronunContent = pronunciationEl.innerText.trim();
	if (pronunContent.length == 0) {
		pronunciationEl.style.display = 'none';
	}
})();

```

Firstly, thanks for your proposal. I will try and say you tomorrow if that works.

Secondly, I found a built-in feature in Anki that does what I want but anyway my topic continue to be interesting.

Thanks. I’ll reply tomorrow.
