Smarty inside javascript condition ... possible?

I am trying to have a javascript condition and mix it with smarty code...is this possible?

For example:

<script>

if (myjsVar == '2') {
    {some smarty here}
}

</script>

This is what I'm trying to do:

{literal}
<script type="text/javascript">
  myjsVar = '2';
  if (myjsVar == '2') {
    {include file='inc.html'}
}
</script>
{/literal}

At this moment this code is not including anything ...syntax?

Solution

  • You can use literal that allows a block of data to be taken literally.Eg Javascript or CSS

    {literal} tags allow a block of data to be taken literally. This is typically used around Javascript or stylesheet blocks where {curly braces} would interfere with the template delimiter syntax. Anything within {literal}{/literal} tags is not interpreted, but displayed as-is. If you need template tags embedded in a {literal} block, consider using {ldelim}{rdelim} to escape the individual delimiters instead.

    {literal}
<script type="text/javascript">
if (myjsVar == '2') {
    {include file='inc.html'}
}
</script>
{/literal}

    You can also use {ldelim} and {rdelim} that is used for escaping smartys template delimeters

    <script type="text/javascript">
if (myjsVar == '2') {ldelim}
    {include file='inc.html'}
{rdelim}
</script>
