dojox.dtl.HtmlTemplate cannot use arguments in tag attributes

[Shane O'Sullivan]

If a DTL template contains an argument in a tag attribute, DTL thinks that this is a URL and attempts to download it's contents.

E.g. <div>

{% for item in items %}

<a index="{{forloop.counter0}}" id="id_{{item.param}}">

{{item.param}}

</a>

{% endfor %}

</div>

Will break when a new dojox.dtl.HtmlTemplate? is created using this template. If the

id="id_{{item.param}}"

is removed, it works.

When using a standard dojox.dtl.Template, the above template works just fine.

(In [14789]) Refs #7300. Figured I'd also get in:

• buffer tag improvements
• attribute speed improvements
• context speed improvements
• !strict

It is still necessary to construct a Context object to pass to the render method of HtmlTemplate?, rather than it constructing one for you based on a JSON object.

Not a release hold-up.

Owners should mark these bugs w/a milestone (possibly future). Putting into 1.3 milestone temporarily (since 1.2RC has already been made)

Works ok for me in r15810 with dtl/demos/demo_HtmlTemplated.html:

<button ... otherAttr2="x_{{item}}" >

gets rendered into (for "orange" values of item)

<button ... otherAttr2="x_orange" >

Reopen if you can reproduce.

i noticed the same issue - but i was able to make it work by changing the attribute to something other then "id". Once i changed the attribute to "name" the rendering worked fine. I am currently using the 1.2 build. Let me know if you need a code submission to reopen.

[Neil Roberts]

Please only reopen if this occurs in trunk again, the releases have some issues with DTL
