Access velocity variable with javascript

Question

<head> #set($test = "works")) </head>

<script> 
    var get = "${test}"; // I also tried using '$test' and "$test" also

    alert(get);
</script>

And it alerts out ${test}, but should print works.

How can I get it to work?

try this...

    #set ($test = "works")

  <script type="text/javascript">
       var myvar = "${test}";
       alert (myvar);
  </script>

THIS WORKS SURELY!!!!

Try var get = "$test"; instead of var get = "${test}";

I realize the question is old, but this worked for me:

#set ($test = "hi")
<script>
    alert("$test");
</script>

Need to include quotes around the variable in the alert since it is a string.
