$ dollar sign character and jQuery error

[Seymores]

I was surprise to get this error when I tried to use jquery script in
*.gtpl page. The error I got is:

groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Failed to parse template script
(your template may contain an error or be trying to use expressions
not currently supported): startup failed:
SimpleTemplateScript10.groovy: 16: illegal string body character after
dollar sign;
solution: either escape a literal dollar sign "\$5" or bracket the
value expression "${5}" @ line 16, column 10.
out.print(" $(\"#test\");\n");

Am I missing something or the SimpleTemplateScript need to be changed/
configure to ignore $() ?

Hi Sey,

Actually, the error message is quite good and explicit, no?

You just need to escape the $ with a backslash \.

Because $ is used for GStrings in Groovy, and hence in templates too.

So just do \$.ajax... etc.

PS: For instance, the Groovy Web Console is using jQuery. And I had to escape the $. There's also the possibility of using the 'jquery' syntax instead of the dollar sign.

Yes, the message is clear here. It works well for Grails to only use $
{} and jquery $() continue to works as expected so I'm merely
surprised that this is a limitation for gaelyk.

Thanks!

Haha, Gaelyk is not Grails, need to have to remind myself.

[huydung]

Why don't you write your javascript in a separated .js file anyway?

[Seymores]

That's a good reminder. Thanks!

sometimes you'll have to write some scripts in the page, sometimes will happen.

the best practice for sure, is use jQuery(xxx)
