Re^2: CGI::Ajax + Template::Toolkit Question

Using randyk's solution, i get the following error (from CGI::Ajax):

Problems

with the html-generating function sent to CGI::Ajax object

Current code:

sub main_page {
  
  my $output = '';
  my $template = 'main.tt';
  $tt->process($template, $config, \$output)
       || die $tt->error();
  return $output;
 
}

Template code:

(header.tt)

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http:/
+/www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
<head>
<title>[% title %]</title>
</head>

<body>

(main.tt)

<body>

<p>Please log in.</p>
<p>Username: <input type="text" name="username" id="username" /></p>
<p>Password: <input type="password" name="passwd" id="passwd" /></p>
<p><input type="submit" name="login" value="login" onClick="login(['us
+ername'], ['passwd'], ['authenticated']);"/></p>
</body>

</html>

I'm not sure what this error means coming from CGI::Ajax. It's a little unspecific, and I don't see anything in the docs regarding it.

meh.

Rather than passing the configuration variables in $config to process, as chargrill noted, you can specify these when creating the $tt object: `my $config = { INCLUDE_PATH => '/tt', INTERPOLATE => 1, POST_CHOMP => 1, PRE_PROCESS => 'header', EVAL_PERL => 1, }; my $tt = Template->new($config);` [download] and then specify the variables you want processed in your template in process: `sub main_page { my $output = ''; my $template = 'main.tt'; my $vars = { title =>'AJAX Login'}; $tt->process($template, $vars, \$output) \|\| die $tt->error(); return $output; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

UPDATE:Would still like to know if this would be a usable solution, however problem has been solved. Ahhh whoops, don't know how I missed that. I was turning this over in my head, the `show_javascript` function returns the javascript as text...would it be better to have a template variable in the <HEAD> section of my template and insert it via T::T? Perhaps that would rid me of the error being thrown by CGI::Ajax. Thoughts? meh.	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, you can do that - see the pjx_nobuild.pl example in the CGI::Ajax sources for how to do that (note that the line $html .= $pjx; in the example calls show_javascript, due to the overloading done in CGI::Ajax).	[reply]
