Re: Question with regard to "append" to a form with TT

Hi
I am guessing you are assembling a string from repeated calls to process on=
e or more templates, cherry-picking sections from each?

Maybe something like this:

( note that $page is passed in by reference )

#=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Template;

my $template =3D <<'END';
[% IF set_first_part  %]
first_part_of_form
[% ELSIF set_second_part %]
second_part_of_form
[% END %]
END

my $tt =3D Template->new();
my $page;
$tt->process( \$template, { set_first_part  =3D> 1,}, \$page ) or print $tt=
->error, "\n";
$page .=3D "\n--- half way ---\n";
$tt->process( \$template, { set_second_part =3D> 1,}, \$page ) or print $tt=
->error, "\n";
print $page;
#=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

yields:

first_part_of_form


--- half way ---

second_part_of_form


#=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D


If not, then maybe some more info would help..

Regards,

David
