Velocity Layout Functionality Fundamentals
HI All,
I have some basic problem in Velocity functionality. My Question is as
follows. (Reply me with any inputs you have on it)
Quest: Consider a Sample Layout file with the following code
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
$navigation.setTemplate("/DefaultTop.vm")
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left">
$screen_placeholder
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
$navigation.setTemplate("/DefaultBottom.vm")
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Does velocity threads all the three processes(*.vm and $screen_placeholder)
and then create the HTML output sequentially or Velocity sequentially parse
the *.vm and screen_placeholder as and when they appear and create the HTML
output or there is some other method.
Waiting eagerly for replies....
Regds.

Thanks Geir!
This is what i understood from your mail....
1. All the instruction written in DefaultTop.vm would be
read-executed-converted to HTML first.
2. HTML TAGS of the Layout (code written below)
3. $screen_placeholder
4. HTML TAGS of the Layout
5. All the instruction written in DefaultBottom.vm would then be
read-executed-converted to HTML
6. HTML TAGS of the Layout
In case if i got it wrong, please do revert.
Regards,
Samir

I am not sure what the $navigation.setTemplate() does, but Velocity will
render sequentially :
First the stuff before the first $navigation, then the stuff between
$navication and $screen_placeholder, then $screen_placeholder, the the stuff
to the next $navigation, then the last $navigation, then the rest to the
end.
It does it all in order as it's found in the template.
