Re: HtmlHelper::div close tag?

[Miles J]

The only real use for generating HTML with the helper is when you are
packaging markup from within a helper. Just manually write it in the
view.

I went down the whole Html->tag route once and then methodically went through 
and unpicked it; it just didn't make sense in 99.9% of all instances.

Re: HtmlHelper::div close tag?

[jeremyharris]

The reason is because $text is empty. HtmlHelper::div uses HtmlHelper::tag 
which documents that it will only print the starting tag if no text is 
within the tag. I personally don't like this behavior. That's why you'll 
see things like this in baked code

echo $this->Html->tag('div', $post['Post']['name'].' ');

A   is appended just in case the value is empty, so to make sure it 
includes a closing tag. So at the very least you'll need something in there.

Re: HtmlHelper::div close tag?

[Perry]

thanks for the reply, I have many elements to be wrapped, and I'm using the
HtmlHelper to generate these nested elements too, so I cant' pass these
elements as the second parameter

maybe I should write the layout directly

Re: HtmlHelper::div close tag?

[Greg Skerman]

I always find leaving the markup in its native language is beneficial,
except in cases where cake's pathing becomes an issue (image, anchors
etc)...

I'd go and write foo personally, but thats just me.

however, from the documentation:

HtmlHelper::div(*string $class*, *string $text*, *array $options*)
Parameters:

   - *$class* (*string*) – The classname for the div.
   - *$text* (*string*) – The content inside the div.
   - *$options* (*array*) – An array of *html
attributes*
   .

  Used for creating div-wrapped sections of markup. The first parameter
specifies a CSS class, and the second is used to supply the text to be
wrapped by div tags. If the last parameter has been set to true, $text will
be printed HTML-escaped.

If no text is specified, only an opening div tag is returned.:

Html->div('error', 'Please enter your credit card number.');
// OutputPlease enter your credit card number.

i.e. its going to wrap it up in a closing div for youbut you need to
pass a class to it as the first parameter... $this->Html->div('someClass',
'foo'); should do the trick.

HtmlHelper::div close tag?

[Perry]

Hi guys, I want to wrap some elements in a div, and I'm using

$this->Html->div('foo')


to generate the starting div tag, but I can't find a method to generate the
closing tag

how can I use the HtmlHelper to do this? I think write the ''
 directly is ugly...
