Re: [Webmacro-devel] Minor whitespace issue?

[Keats <ke...@su...>]

Check out the Wiki: http://www.webmacro.org/WhiteSpace

There are two know whitespace handling bugs noted there, one deals with implicit #begin's and the other with implicit #end's.  You're issue is apparently the implicit #end.  This occurs when you use #else or #elseif with a preceding #end (or close bracket).  Try adding an #end before your #else.

P.S. If you want to try and fix these parser bugs, you would be doing a great service to WM!

Guys I just noticed something funny in some HTML output from WM:

    <SELECT class="fieldentry" NAME="_dob_day">           <OPTION VALUE="- 

None-" > -None-
              <OPTION VALUE="1" > 1
              <OPTION VALUE="2" > 2
              <OPTION VALUE="3" > 3
              <OPTION VALUE="4" > 4
              <OPTION VALUE="5" > 5
              <OPTION VALUE="6" > 6
              <OPTION VALUE="7" > 7
              <OPTION VALUE="8" > 8
              <OPTION VALUE="9" > 9
              <OPTION VALUE="10" > 10
              <OPTION VALUE="11" > 11
              <OPTION VALUE="12" > 12
              <OPTION VALUE="13" > 13
              <OPTION VALUE="14" > 14
              <OPTION VALUE="15" > 15
              <OPTION VALUE="16" > 16
              <OPTION VALUE="17" > 17
              <OPTION VALUE="18" > 18
              <OPTION VALUE="19" > 19
              <OPTION VALUE="20" > 20
              <OPTION VALUE="21" > 21
              <OPTION VALUE="22" > 22
              <OPTION VALUE="23" > 23
              <OPTION VALUE="24" > 24
              <OPTION VALUE="25" > 25
               <OPTION VALUE="26" SELECTED> 26
              <OPTION VALUE="27" > 27
              <OPTION VALUE="28" > 28
              <OPTION VALUE="29" > 29
              <OPTION VALUE="30" > 30
              <OPTION VALUE="31" > 31
       </SELECT>

The bit that is "funny" is option 26. Why does it have an extra space?

The code that proced it is:

#macro intFieldChoice($action, $sch, $fieldValue, $showNoneItem)
    <SELECT class="choiceField" 
NAME="$OuterVars.Ignition.getFormFieldName($fieldValue.FormFieldName)">
    #if ($showNoneItem)
        <OPTION> -Choose-
    #end
    #foreach $choice in $fieldValue.MetaData
        #if ($choice.Value == $fieldValue.Value)
            #set $isChecked = "SELECTED"
        #else
            #set $isChecked = ""
        #end
        <OPTION VALUE="$choice.Value" $isChecked> $choice.Label
    #end
    </SELECT>
    #showRequired( $fieldValue)
#end

...and I can't see how an extra space gets in there just when the option
is 
SELECTED.

Does anybody else think that this might be an obscure whitespace issue?

The only thing I can think of is that the line that assigns "SELECTED" is 
the first part of the #if clause.

If people think this is not supposed to happen, then I will try to isolate 

it and add to the WS unit tests.
