Lexical error

[Will Glass-Husain <wg...@forio.com>]

Hi,

I got a strange lexical error today...

 Lexical error: org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.TokenMgrError: Lexical
error at line 29, column 28.  Encountered: <EOF> after : ""

This occurs when I have a comment on the last line of my file (and no
newline).  If I add a newline after the comment, the error goes away.

This seems like it might be a bug.  I'm running Velocity 1.2-dev with JDK
1.3.1 on Tomcat 3.2.2.

Thanks, WILL

Yes, it's a parser bug.  I thought I had it nailed last week.  But
didn't. Alas.

Solution is to add the newline :)

Re: Populate dropdown dynamically...?

Pat,

If I understand you correctly, this isn't a server-side task (aside from
filling your dropdown arrays in the first place). You can use Javascript
on the client browser to accomplish this, I suggest scanning some of the
script sites possibly www.javascripts.com

Just populate the options for the select in the same way you would
populate the rows of a table (i.e. use a #foreach after retrieving your
data using your pull tool).

Populate dropdown dynamically...?

[pat comcen <ps...@comcen.com.au>]

G'day to all,
Quick question. I know this is not a pure Velocity question, but I haven't
been able to find a clear
answer to this anywhere -  everything seems ASPcentric. :(
Upon selection of an item in a dropdown list, how do dynamically populate
the contents of another dropdown list?

I have been reading up on DynApi 2.xx but not quite sure if it's useful for
this..

If it makes any difference, I am making use of Turbine Pull and Peers
mechanisms.

Thankyou,

Patrick.
