I had to use XML() to avoid $quot; in the view, like this :
# In controller
conditional_field_trigger_selected_event_js
= '$("select[name=FIELDOFINTERESS]").change(function() {var val =
$(this).children(":selected").attr("value");$(this).trigger($(this).attr("id")
+ "__selected", [val]);});'
...
return dict(..., conditional_field_trigger_selected_event_js
= conditional_field_trigger_selected_event_js)
# In view
{{if request.args(0)=='SOMETHING':}}
<script type="text/javascript">
var conditional_field_trigger_selected_event_js =
{{=XML(conditional_field_trigger_selected_event_js)}}
eval(conditional_field_trigger_selected_event_js);
</script>
{{pass}}
But, still curious to know if there is security issue with javascript
eval(); the way I use it.
The purpose of this is to use lazy_option_widget plugin (
http://dev.s-cubism.com/plugin_lazy_options_widget) without having to use
suggest widget that is a dependency of lazy_option_widget... Since
lazy_option_widget only need selected event to be trigger on by suggest
widget, giving it trigger event from a default web2py dropbox allow to
eliminate the dependency.
In the future I would implement a custom dropbox widget that support
trigger selected event. Thought it could be nice to have a option in the
default web2py dropbox widget to activate and deactivate as needed selected
trigger event, but don't know if it a good idea.
Thanks to answer.
