PODjango templates: insert values for javascript variables
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to assign some javascript variables in a Django template.</p> <p>I am having a problem where the values I am assigning are being written to the page properly (I can see them in the page source), but still come up as <code>null</code>.</p> <p>I am doing this:</p> <pre><code><script type="text/javascript"> var coords = []; {% for i in item_list %} coords.push([ {{i.x}}, {{i.y}} ]); {% endfor %} </script> </code></pre> <p>This is the page source that is produced:</p> <pre><code>coords.push([ -320.435118373, -149.333637576 ]); coords.push([ -120.41321373 , -329.312376 ]); ... </code></pre> <p>It seems to be perfectly valid javascript, however, using Firebug to view the value of <code>coords</code>, this is what is produced:</p> <pre><code>[[null, null], [null, null], [null, null]...[null, null]] </code></pre> <p>So it's apparent that each of the <code>push()</code> calls is going off correctly and a new array of size 2 is being added each time. However, for some reason, the numeric literals all evaluate to <code>null</code>.</p> <p>Does anyone know how I can get these values to be used properly?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> It appears that the values in the array are fine until I pass them into the jQuery flot plugin:</p> <pre><code>$.plot($('#mapWrapper'), coords, options); </code></pre> <p>So I guess this doesn't have anything to do with the way I am using the Django templates after all. Still, I am curious as to what the problem is with <code>$.plot</code>.</p>
