Snippet attribute pass through

[ced]

I want to set a node attribute in the template markup exactly like it
is done in example 7.13 from the Lift Book. I'll paste it here:

// the markup
<lift:Ledger.balance> <ledger:time ledger:id="myId"/>
</lift:Ledger.balance>

// The snippet class
class Ledger { def balance (content : NodeSeq ) : NodeSeq = {
bind ("ledger", content, "time" -> <span>{(new
java.util.Date).toString}</span>)
}
}

Unfortunately I can't get it to work. Is there something I have to set/
enable to get this feature working? I'm using Lift 1.1-M8

Thanks,
Chris

Replace your bind with:

bind ("ledger", content, "time" -%> <span>{(new
java.util.Date).toString}</span>)

ledger:id is not anymore preserved as after the was out this was
considered a not intended feature and got moved. -%> should do what
you want.

I'm eating letters "as after the was out" should be "as after the the
book was out" :D

Anyone want to fix the book? :)
Anyway, once you're using -%> you want it to be id, not ledger:id.

Thanks for the fast response, Darius.

I tried it out and it seem that the "-%>" operator puts the attributes
through untouched, so one has to write <ledger:time id="myId"/>
instead of the former prefixed version <ledger:time ledger:id="myId"/

Cheers,

Well the book reflects Lift at that point in time. Since then there
were quite a few updates. I know Derek at some point tried to keep it
up to date but I'm not sure now.

This is not about "fixing" the book.

Yes, sorry for not being more explicit about -%> preserving
attributes.
