dojox.mvc.repeat get error when parsed in template

[zhangyp]

When we use ref: '${this.index}' for data binding in dojox.mvc.repeat, '${this.index}' will be treated as variable in Django template by dijit._TemplatedMixin in _stringRepl: function(tmpl) and will cause the function to throw error.

Is there anyway to prevent this being replaced when dojox.mvc.repeat is used in template string?

One of the options may be to avoid getting pigeonholed into a specific syntax that may step on someone else's toes. We are looking into making the syntax customizable (per repeat instance even).

I will add a patch which adds support for an optional attribute named exprchar. So for example is exprchar is set to # on a dojox.mvc.Repeat, then the substitution would look for something like this #{this.index} instead of ${this.index}. I also added a testcase for this problem.

There was one other minor update to dojox.mvc._Container.js to remove a js warning for eval(exp, pThis) as reported in ticket 13317.
