Javascript & Flexy

If you ever used Flexy, which I consider a really great TE, you have most probably already stumbled across Flexy's inability to step into <script> blocks.


A really easy method to overcome this problem is to define scriptOpen and scriptClose properties in your base objects outputted by Flexy:



<?php

class FlexyObject {
var
$scriptOpen = "n<script type="text/javascript"> <!--n";
var
$scriptClose = "n//--> </script>n";
var
$scriptData = "var foo = 'bar';";
}
?>


Outputting above object with the following template wont work:



<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
{scriptData:h}
</script>
</html>


Instead:



<html>
{scriptOpen:h}
{scriptData:h}
{scriptClose:h}
</html>


...works like a charm... ;)

Alan said, Flexy wont step into Javascript blocks because that caused massive problems with the Smarty convertor...
