Re: [htmltmpl] Dynamic TMPL_VAR names? Is it possible?

[Brian M. <bm...@pa...>]

Without knowing how you're using the associate feature, it's hard to come up
with a workaround. It seems like loops should work for you, but if whatever
youre doing with associate is making that impossible, perhaps you could
include the portion of your code where you use associate?

| A loop does me no good.  If I have two sites, and I use a loop like
| suggested, I get a form that looks something like:
|
| <form blah...>
| <input type=text name=site_name value="foo">
| <input type=text name=site_name value="bar">
| etc....
|
| Two form fields in the same form with the same name = broken form.
| :-(   Even worse, when I go to repopulate the 'associate' feature
| has I think now clobbered one of the site_name values and both of
| these form fields will get the same data in the value= attribute.
| :-(  In general, yes, loops are the answer, but when building forms
| and/or trying to repopulate forms using the 'associate' feature of
| H:T, loops don't work.
|
| I appreciate the quick response though!  Any other ideas?
