Hi,
Firstly, thanks for your help about headers/footers earlier, that was a great help -
but I found out about EmbperlObject and now I'm using that, which is very nice indeed.
Embperl is really growing on me and I thank you for all the work you must have put in.
I have a new question - what is the Embperl way of doing:
@xyz = ('one', 'two', 'three');
$default = 'The default option';
<select name="sel" size="1">
<option value="default">[+ $default +]</option>
<option value="[+ $xyz[$row] +]">[+ $xyz[$row] +]</option>
</select>
i.e. to have a default? The use of $row here causes my default to be replicated many
times, and I get:
default
one
default
two
default
three
I don't want to prepend the default to my array because I want a different string to
the value. I could do:
<select name="sel" size="1">
<option value="[+ $xyz[$row] +]">[+ $xyz[$row] eq 'default' ?
'The default option' : $xyz[$row] +]</option>
</select>
But after you have a few extra cases like this it becomes messy, for example if I have
several default and serveral data sources I am putting into this select.
It seems to me it would be nice if an <option> with a $row in it does not duplicate
all of the contents of the <select> but only the contents of the enclosing <option>?
Best wishes, James
