Hi everyone,

I need to buid a javascript array of this form:

var theArray = new Array("123|Beth","543|John","234|Ben","43|Leia","76|Steven","45|Rebecca","7686|Travis","3456|Kirk");

but by using TAL in a ZPT. The values come from a ZSQL method. It could look like this:

var theArray = new Array( <span tal:repeat="array_elt container/reqZSQL3" tal:omit-tag=""> <span tal:replace="array_elt">1</span><span tal:condition="not:repeat/array_elt/end" tal:omit-tag="">, </span> </span>);

but this is not working. (the ZSQL method contain the two columns of value)

Someone have an idea?

I think you should access the two columns of return values individually, like: <span tal:replace='string:"${array_elt/id}|${array_elt/name}"' /> assuming the names of your two columns are id and name. By the way, the <tal> tag will not be executed within <script> tags. So you may have to use python script to generate your javascript code. -- HONG Yuan Homemaster Trading Co., Ltd.

For better or for worse, ZPT's won't process anything inside a script tag. I'd generate it using a python script: js_template = ''' //whatever js you want ot be staticly generated %s ''' array = ','.join(container.reqZSQL3()) return js_template % array ...and then use them in your zpt as follows: <script tal:content="here/my_js_generator"/> cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
