Adding html to text=

[Wes James]

I'm playing with the nitrogen elements demo.  In there it has:

#tab{title = "tab-title", body = ["test"]

            }

I'd live to add a div in the title so I can change a numeric value that will be there.  How would I do that.  When I put a <div></div> in tite="", it just shows that <div> text in the tab title.

Thx.

not sure of the element #tab{}

but  according to the definition of title it is

        title=""                :: undefined | text(),

I would suggest if you wanted to change the value of title to just wf:replace(<ID>, <NewELEMENT>).

Sure there is also a javascript way what you want so you could use wf:wire(..) to achieve it also.

Try something like

#tab{body=#panel{ id=xxx, text="test" }}.

#span{} will work in place of #panel{} too.

If you leave the text= out, it shows "No Title" in the tab at the top.  Whatever you put in the body= goes in the lower main part of the tab box.

Hi Wes,

This means that the #tab element in the nitrogen_elements project is overloading what the title element is really *meant* to be.

Which is fine. You'll just need to edit that element's render_element function and make sure that title either isn't placed into a "text" attribute or run through the wf:encode_html function.

You'll be able to find that code in lib/nitrogen_elements.

I'd recommend forking that project yourself  on github to and either submitting a pull request to the main repo or simply maintaining your own fork of nitrogen_elements, which is, after all, a community driven project rather than an official part of Nitrogen.

Please let me know if this advice is unclear or if you get stuck further.

All the best,

-Jesse
